Unless you’re set on KCPS, you may want to call and shop around for courtesy car, fuel prices, landing fees, tie down fees, etc. Some FBO’s will waive tie down fees if you by self-service or full service fuel from them. I’ve used KCPS, KSUS, 1H0, KSET, and KBLV. I found 1H0 unfriendly, but only landed there once, so maybe caught them on a bad day. KSET had heavy student traffic. KBLV had limited hours. Loved KSUS because of it’s proximity to shopping for my wife and KCPS because of the view of the arch.

Sorry, these questions intended for Joe (mike20papa).

DCarlton, I’m still interested in a replacement AI, as well. Thank you, Bobby

Glenn, in 2017, I used West Star Aviation at KALN which is just NE of St Louis. Seems it’s getting more expensive and harder to find shops that do ECIs. Good luck! Sincerely, Bobby 1966 M20C Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Brian, I believe the attitude indicator (artificial horizon) in my M20C just tumbled. Do you have a serviceable vacuum driven AI? Thank you, Bobby

Thank you so much, 47U. Very Sincerely, Bobby

Any CFIs in Denver instructing in Mooney’s (preferably an M20C with Johnson Bar)? Need some refresher training… Bobby

Anyone have any more information on doghouse repairs or replacements? Bobby (M20C)

My wife and I flew our M20C into PLK many times with family and friends between 2014 and 2017. In-terminal rental car service and FBO never disappointed. Parking assistance was intermittent, but really unnecessary. Easy access to Branson. Never required maintenance. One approach end has a pretty steep rocky cliff that can be somewhat intimidating on the first landing, but never really a safety issue. Good luck and have fun!

Also, I own and carry one of these Cruz toolkits, and use it as much in the hangar as when traveling: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/cruztools12-03772.php?clickkey=357340

Mike Busch has written one or more articles on this subject.

I enjoyed seeing your references to Bowling Green, Bardstown, Lebanon, and Springfield. All very familiar places. I took my PP check ride at Bowling Green. Completed a rental checkout in Bardstown. I was born and raised in Lebanon. Took a flight review at 6I2, but have never flown my Mooney into 6I2. On my way there one night from Missouri, but made a precautionary landing in Owensboro. Next morning, continued on to KAAS instead of 6I2. N6094Q is hangared and “pickled” at KTBN while I serve in Japan for at least another year. Miss her almost as much as I miss children and grandchildren. Finished paying off the loan on her last month. I fly an Aero Club 180 HP C-172 out of Yokota Air Base to stay active and current, but it’s nothing like owning and flying your own Mooney. Thank you for the opportunity to briefly walk down memory lane.

What is TC/TC100?
