N585CA, '93 114B - Jon Guy

N585CA became my airplane in December 2002, purchased used from the Commander Aircraft Company moments before they declared bankruptcy. In that way, I was both extremely lucky and rather unlucky to purchase 5CA when I did. I got my instrument rating in August 2003, and as such I'm flying about 100-125 hours each year mostly for business. In November 2004, I added an IFR-approach version of the same GPS (KLN-90B now) and GPSS to make my long travels nearly effortless. About the only things I could want to add to 5CA are TKS ($40k, yikes), an MFD, and a turbonormaliser.

This is probably the happiest man on Earth on December 20, 2002 -- namely me just moments before mounting up in 5CA for the first time on my own to fly it back to Northeast Philly from Wiley Post.

  • The panel has changed slightly since this photo was taken in 2002, namely with the change of the GPS to the IFR approach-certified KLN-90B with annunciator and GPSS device.
