A Division of Intern ational Harvester Company Aero commander means businessl Any way you read it, that's what we mean. The initial Aero Commander concept was that of a twin engine airplane designed, engineered and built to meet business transportation requirements. And we built an air­ craft business on that premise. The same concept, at the outset, was applied to the Jet Commander. Today the -Jet Commander is big busi­ ness. Because it's lower priced and operates at less cost than any other business jet in the world that's FAA­ certified to commercial jetliner standards of safety and reliability. When we added our single engine models we meant business. The Aero Commander 200 is- by any com­ parison - the finest, most sophisticated 4 -place, single engine aircraft in production today. And - by any comparison - the Aero Commander 100 is the lowest priced, full size 4-place, all-.rTietal airplane in production anywhere. Both are designed to meet specific requirements of business and professional people who free themselves from the restrictions of surface and scheduled transportation. And now we're serving the business of agriculture with the biggest, safest and most efficient Ag-plane in the business. The Snow Commander S-20 covers more acres faster at less cost than any other aerial applicator. Compare the entire line- or each model -with that of any other airframe manufacturer in the world. And any way you read it, Aero Commander means business! Come fly with us and see for yourself.
