Ali Quinn

Thank you Fleiger and Carusoam!

Hello all! I apologize for not responding sooner. I’m not the greatest at handling all this stuff and the past few days have been tough on my nerves. Watching the Mooney being sold is like seeing Chris leave all over again since it was his greatest pride and joy to own and to fly. As far as the auction went, yes, it sold. I’m assuming the buyer had the required cash (not even sure what it sold for). I will be checking in with the auction company today to get details. If I should hear anything about a problem getting payment or anything like that (I don’t anticipate this being the case), I will of course let you know here. Chris bought it fair and square (I think bill of sale is somewhere in the attached papers), but he never registered it in his own name. Maybe tax avoidance? I don’t know...I never knew he hadn’t registered it until recently. This is strange to me because he was always so good about being sure our other taxes were paid. Perhaps it was more complicated than that? I would have advertised the auction on this page had I known it existed, but up until the day before the auction, I was completely unaware. Which is sad because, as I mentioned in a prior post, I would have loved for a true Mooney lover to end up with it. Thanks for being so kind and supportive everyone! From better days:

Thank you carusoam! Very helpful

Thanks! Very kind of you. The auction company is Colson Auctions in Nashville.

https://www.colsonauctions.com/auctions/1961-mooney-airplane-thursday-august-6th-live-simulcast-100pm/ Hello everyone! I never knew this website existed, although my late husband, the pilot of the above-mentioned Mooney, was probably on here from time to time. His name was Christopher Quinn and he passed away very unexpectedly in February at age 52. Tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. his beloved N745S will be auctioned in Nashville by Colson Auctions. http://www.colsonauctions.com/ The auction house has advertised, etc., but Mooneys aren’t just any regular airplanes; I can’t see it selling for even close to what it’s worth. But I’d be OK with that, and so would our children, if we knew it was going to someone who would truly appreciate it for what it is as Chris certainly did. Anyway, this is the link to the auction. I thought it might be of interest to this group especially. If you knew Chris, I’d love to hear from you!
