As the sheriff of the Air Capital of the World, one of the most important and little-known tools for Jeff Easter’s department is its own private airplane, and it’s time to make a big upgrade. “The Sheriff’s Office here has had an airplane since the late 70s,” said Easter. In 1987, the department flew a Cessna T210, but its needs quickly outgrew what the small plane could do. So, in 1991, it upgraded to a Cessna C340A. Just six years later, the department traded up again for the airplane it still flies today – the Commander 690-A.
