Hi All I would like to thank you for all your replies I would like to answer some of your remarks .First Jeff it is just a hobby i do in my spare time i first started this project about 20 years ago due to life and work commitments i put it on the back burner for a few years but now i'm back on it full swing The information i collect is for me i have no financial gain or work for anyone .I am trying to build a database of every mooney made yes it seems strange? i see myself as a aviation historian recording history i do/will share some of the information i get with like minded fellow historians.There are other historians out there covering many types of aircraft Cessna/Piper/Beechcraft etc i chose the mooney because it was not covered and i thought it was and is a fantastic aeroplane to cover i hope this helps? i will try to answer anymore question you have for me. Steingar if i can answer you now Yes we British are strange we write down tail numbers for a hobby (i am one of those)we also like to photograph all forms of aviation Airliners/Helicopters/General aviation/Executive/ Microlight/balloons/AND military. I was only in your fine Country last year in Florida i did a road trip between West Palm and Miami and all point's in between.Its the 4th time i have been over there and hope to come back some day soon maybe next year and yes it cost big bucks:>(. I first came over in 1988 and getting round the GA fields was easy but since 9/11 things have changed big time and not so easy now if at all . I know i can use the FAA website for most information like owners dates fates etc but some aircraft have had more than one owner this is where a lot more research come in .Some countries like Britain's CAA give full histories of every owner the FAA only gives current. I am aware of MFR dates AND registration dates. The biggest problem i have when an aircraft is when it is (cx) cancelled what what happens to it or where it is yes i know a lot are used for spares but there must be quite a few still sitting around somewhere. Thank you all for taking taking time to read this thread and replying .
