Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 1977 Rockwell Commander 112B.
Rockwell International, known for building military aircraft and components, tried a number of ways to get into the civil aviation market, including the acquisition of Meyers Aircraft, maker of the famously fast Meyers 200. By the late 1960s, though, the company decided to build its own piston singles, including the Commander 112 and 114 low-wing retractables.

The aircraft for sale today offers an economical entry into ownership for pilots who want a four-place aircraft for cross-country travel, short trips, or commuting. While the Commander is a relatively rare model that Rockwell stopped producing in 1979, it is known for its roomy, comfortable cabin, good visibility, forgiving flight characteristics, and trailing-link landing gear that help soften landings.
Pilots who own Commanders sing their praises, often because they look great and are easy to own.
This 1977 Commander 112B has 1,780 hours on the airframe and 1,785 hours on its 200 hp Lycoming IO-360 engine. Its VFR panel includes traditional analog flight and engine instruments. The aircraft was repainted in 2021 and retains its original interior.
Pilots looking for a comfortable, economical four-place single with retractable gear and striking looks should consider this 1977 Rockwell Commander 112B, which is available for $55,000 on AircraftForSale.
