......gotta make it to the next meal.......

0 minutes, 0nm. Did I win? I am hoping to change those numbers though.

I personally have not used uber but have heard plenty of great reviews from friends who have. I have also been spending a lot of time on AirBnB looking for rental places in Myrtle, but prices were at least as much as hotels. HOWEVER....I was looking during peak season in a very popular destination area. I think it would work well with off-season or less popular vacation destinations.

No rambling at all, this is good stuff! Congrats!!!

that, sir, is a pretty bird.

Thanks for those real world #s, very helpful. As for accidents due to fuel exhaustion, I mean, if someone is not going to plan properly it prob doesn't matter what plane they're flying.

yessir....I'm starting from square one. admittedly I'm basing my desire for a mooney strictly on 1) it's badass looks and 2) it's well known speeds/efficiency, not necessarily in that order. I mean, it's based on a few other things as well, such as the type of flying I'd mainly be doing. I don't have a family to haul around so useful load isn't a top priority, don't need turbo, don't 'need' glass, don't 'need' RG but do want at least 130kt which the two typically seem to go hand in hand (not always, I know), don't 'need' high performance, don't want to burn 15+gal/hour, not looking to build a plane, not opposed to high wing at all, just have always flown low wing and like them, IFR...this is a tough one, I mean, why NOT have an IFR capable plane even though I have no short term plan to become IFR, but should that change, and it easily could, I would want it, initial cost is a big factor with mooneys, I feel I can find an arrow for less up front cost, and an arrow isn't out of the question...... yadda yadda blah blah, all the same stuff y'all already hear about over and over.

I've met you several times DrBill........was hoping to go on some PnP flights with you, and I am also based out of Wilgrove. I would like to talk to you about this trip....

Thanks! I live in Charlotte NC now, born and raised in Jersey. Some of the flights I'd like to take are from CLT to Jersey, anywhere along the coast (Myrtle, HH, etc...), Atlanta and Florida to see my parents. I don't see flying to FLA in a cherokee (or other 100ish kt plane), but a mooney would make this possible. An arrow might also, but def a mooney.

Sup y'all? New here on m-space, bringing my total aviation forum membership up to 2 WOOHOO. Some may recognize my username from that other forum I'm on. Anyways, got my PPL 12/28/2013, currently fly Cherokees and an Archer,and pretty much have been dreaming of owning a mooney ever since. Figured I'd finally join here to learn a little more from the pro's. Gonna start poking around this site, seeing what's what and who's who and figured I'd just introduce myself. OK, thanks!
