I was over Indiana at FL210 so I could hear a lot of traffic. Not sure where they were.

Anyone know N4015N? I was flying today and heard it report on guard that it was a Mooney and that they had a complete loss of power. Looking online shows that it's an F model based in Wisconsin.

Listening to LiveATC recordings. Sunday night (24th) after the airport closed, an L-19 calls in to land with a bad mag and low on fuel and is allowed to land. A Mooney calls up after this and is told to leave. He responds by saying "F off Oshkosh." Classy. Start listening at 22:15 http://archive-server.liveatc.net/kosh/KOSH-App-Fisk-Jul-25-2016-0030Z.mp3

I'll be there Wednesday through Sunday. Missing the Mooney events again this year.

My policy went down this year. Used Cliff at Falcon. He's great and knows Mooneys.

I wouldn't say a 430 is diddly. A 430 really opens up the capability of the plane that has no GPS especially if it's a WAAS version. Being able to do LPV approaches is huge. If I had $15k to spend and didn't have a GPS I would look at adding a 430w and keeping one of the old radios as a back up nav/com. I wouldn't worry too much about needing the redundancy of two GPSs. The plane will still fly if you don't have a GPS. You'll be back to what you have now.

Whats an aspen pro cost installed? I'm seeing around $11-12k

Get the special wrench and you'll use fewer dirty words.

I could help but I'm working the weekend of the 12th. If you end up not finding anyone and need a ride some other weekend let me know.

If you're thinking of inducing labor, take her on the return to San Marcos, it's sure to happen. [emoji4] I would do it but that might ruin my interior. If you want to gag, Google bloody show and click images.

I'm located at GGG and can help as well. Only possible issue is my wife is pregnant and about to pop.

This is who I've used. Lowest rate I can find and fast service. 1st bank of Pryor moved at a snails pace so I told them to cancel everything (took over a month). Called USAF and had the deal closed within 72 hrs.

Do you have a picture of this? Keeping #4 cool on warm days has often required cowl flaps in trail despite sealing all the holes and fixing all gaps in the baffling with RTV.

My take on it is similar to yours. I do it with every change becuase it's cheap and it's more info but I'm not going to react to a single out of whack value. My though is to use it to monitor the trend and then back it up with other pieces of information before pulling the trigger on maintainence.
