Hi Michael, Thanks so much. I have it covered by Full Throttle Aviation. www.fullthrottleaviationllc.com

More Like $7 Million based on recent reports. If the city loses the lawsuit they will need to spend it again to bring it back to it's original condition.

Thanks Dan. Have a good trip.

I agree. Thanks.

IT'S OFFICIAL. As of today I am now the proud owner of this beautiful 1967 M20 F. N9268M. It's a life long dream come true. Thanks to the previous owner Alan Basinger for his efforts in closing the sale. Also thanks to Lisa Bainter at Aero -Space Reports and AOPA and Falcon Insurance for your assistance throughout. A special thanks goes to Don Maxwell for his expertise and advice and continued great service. I'm based in Santa Monica, Ca. I Hope to meet other Mooniacs in the very near future.

I really appreciate all of the comments and sharing of personal experiences here. The positive and not so positive. Thanks to everyone for engaging in the sharing of your experiences. Michael Rodgers Santa Monica, Ca.

PTK I agree that bestowing a moniker like King on the thread topic might be off putting to some and not take into account the many other qualified Mooney specialists providing valuable services throughout the country. I meant no disrespect to anyone. I am very happy with my decision to work with Don and his team and have found them to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and most importantly ethical through all of the inspection process.

As a first time airplane / Mooney buyer it goes without saying that the process can be overwhelming and frought with danger financially as well as physically. Thanks to the research I did in this forum I located a true gentleman who with his staff proved to be an invaluable resource for a buyer such as myself. They provided an abundance of information about our beloved Mooney’s , their history, systems, quirks, personalities and airworthiness. The bird I have chosen to pursue is a beautiful example on a 1967 M20 F. The seller (Alan) flew her to Don’s shop and I flew in from Los Angeles for the occasion. Don and his staff welcomed me and made me feel right at home. I spent a total of nine hours with everyone today asking numerous questions while looking over the shoulder of everyone touching the plane. The patience they all showed me today was so appreciated as it allowed me to review all of the information provided and make a wise an informed purchase decision regarding the condition of the aircraft. After a long day, it appears that the purchase will be moving forward and soon I will have this bird in her new nest in Santa Monica. Thanks everyone for sharing with us newbies on this site. It’s nice to know we all have a place to go for some much needed answers. And as for Don Maxwell, this man is a total pro who deserves every positive accolade the Mooney community can send his way. I am certain he has many already. I found him to be a kind, considerate and brilliant man who provides remarkable service to everyone who is fortunate enough to have him and his team work on their behalf. Thanks again Don for all you do. Michael Rodgers - KSMO

Just started the process yesterday without a broker. I am open to any and all possibilities. I'll be keeping the plane at Santa Monica for as long as they keep the airport open.

Hi everyone, This is my first post to this group and I enjoy this forum very much. If all goes well this week at my pre-buy inspection taking place at Don Maxwells' shop, I will be the proud owner of a beautiful 1967 Mooney M 20 F Executive. I am currently a "student" pilot with approximately 140 hrs in my log book due to many stops and starts in my training through many moves throughout the world. I am two weeks away from my check ride and will be taking additional training in the Mooney to gain the proficiency required for a complex aircraft once licensed. I am looking for the best rates possible for my insurance coverage. As I am currently a student pilot the offers I am getting will not reduce once I am licensed as the policy's fall under a different guideline and will not adjust mid stream. Are there any Mooney specific insurers that I should know about and/or who are your recommendations that I can reach out to for coverage? Much appreciated.
