About the 500B
The Twin Commander 500B is a type-certificated, fixed-wing aircraft featuring a twin-engine layout and seating for up to seven occupants. It serves as a light business and utility transport, perfectly suited for corporate travel and feeder airline operations.
Conceived by former bomber engineers during the mid-1940s, the prototype completed its first flight in the late 1940s. The design was produced across multiple decades under various corporate banners, finding extensive use in both private enterprise and military service, where individual airframes served as presidential transport.
