Hello Mooney Forum , I've been lurking here for a few weeks and based on this community, I've decided to buy a Mooney!! I have a general aviation background, military aviation background, and I am currently an airline pilot. The last plane I owned was a 1972 Baron 58. I sold it 4 years ago and have not flown a small plane since. I'm ready to get back in it, and I can't wait. Now, what I'm looking for and to spend. I have 140k that I can spend. I've read up on the "Missile" and it seems like the best fit for me? I seen them for sale at what seems a reasonable price with nice Garmin package (GNS 430 & 530). Most of the flying I'll be doing is 600 miles or less, in the lower altitudes (below 14k). I'm a regular size guy, with a 5 yr old who loves planes as much as me, haha. So, most of the travel I'll be doing will be with him. I will base it out of Atanta, KFTY (Fulton Co -Charlie Brown) OK, Mooney Forum, what are your thoughts? I'm ALL EARS. Thanks in advance for your time :-)
Blue Skies!
