Notice the red carpet

beautiful plane--looks cold

Thanks! That was last winter - it was chilly in Burlington VT. But a gorgeous day.

Very nice looking plane... love the color.

Thanks! I love the color too - it is a metallic hunter green under silver. When I got the plane two years ago the 1997 paint job was pretty dull and tired looking but still adhering well - I figured I would need a paint job when I purchased. But with the help of a antique car friend - and lots and lots and lots of elbow grease and various products we brought the paint back to a beautiful shine.

And don't we all love the lines here of a classic Mooney? With a big meaty prop in front.

Also - it is in the school colors for the school I teach at - Clarkson University, so that is an extra serendipity. I am very lucky to have the keys to my very own airplane like that.

Oh - and last but most...and such lovely ladies to ride in it with me! I earned some major husband points the day pictured when I pulled up to the FBO with my wife and our friend for a day of shopping, and the lineman ran out with the red carpet.

Great paint scheme.
