It was certainly an 1121 Jet Commander. A loud jet that sucked fuel so fast that the fuel counter would spin like a slot machine in Vegas. So loud that Teterboro told us not to bring that jet back. 2 hours and 40 minutes is about all the flying time you had. It was a solid built jet.

A simple google picture search disagrees with your statement.

The Jet Commander is actually a Jet, not to be confused with the Turbo Commander which is a turbo prop.

thanks. I think that airplane was an 1121 pre 1968, so was a Rockwell Jet Commander.
IAI started what, in 1970 or so? and the "Worstwind" was born, later stretched to the 1123 with 731's installed.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.
