Aero Commander U-4B (AFA) 54647 Art.
The Aero Commander U-4B, tail number 54647, is a unique aircraft that continued its service with the United States Air Force following its role as the “smallest Air Force One.” Known for its reliability and performance, the U-4B was primarily used to transport high-ranking officials, including military leaders and government personnel. Later, the aircraft was stationed at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, where it became the primary aircraft for the parachute training and skydiving team. This artwork captures the elegance and purpose of the U-4B, paying homage to its critical role in supporting Air Force missions and Academy training. With its sleek design and distinguished service history, this aircraft remains a symbol of dedication and precision, celebrating its contribution to both aviation history and national defense.

The Aero Commander 500 family is a series of light-twin piston-engined and turboprop aircraft originally built by the Aero Design and Engineering Company in the late 1940s, renamed the Aero Commander company in 1950, and later a division of Rockwell International in 1965. Final production occurred under the Gulfstream Aerospace name. The initial production version was the 200 mph, seven-seat Aero Commander 520. An improved version, the 500S, manufactured after 1967, is known as the Shrike Commander. Larger variants are known by numerous model names and designations, ranging up to the 330 mph, 11-seat Model 695B/Jetprop 1000B turboprop. As of recent, the Aero Commander is known as the Twin Commander. Check out this stunning Aero Commander U-4B (AFA) 54647 Art by – Squadron Posters!
