560A in "Flight Levels" magazine - Spring 2009

[CommanderMan]

The photograph of the 560A used to illustrate this Model is said to be current, according to the FAA records.

Sadly, although it is indeed still listed, it is no longer active as it was destroyed by fire at Bimini Airport in the Bahamas, after landing on August 20th 1995.

With regard to the 560A(HC), strictly speaking this version was offerred with GO-480-C1B6 engines and left the factory with these, not the -G1B6 variant.
However, by the time that some 560A versions were later modified to 560A(HC), it was indeed the -G1B6 engine that was installed.

Lastly, 15 560A(HC) variants were produced, not 14, but the first one was used to develop the Model 560E, so was probably not included in the Factory count.

The 560E has the "extended" wing much like the 680E, all versions of the 560 utilized the GO-480 series powerplants, too bad the 560A met it's fate..
