hahah yep ! typical FL summer flying.. Over these, under those, left of that thing..

First Airplane First Mooney ( 1982 M20J ) First big trip across the USA Special shoutouts: @jgarrison you are the man.. thank you for helping me thru everything. @Lrn2Fly for teaching me the all the "mooney things" on the long ride home, you sir are a fantastic instructor. Especially reading back 30.07 altimeter setting with a "British Spy" accent, I will do that for the rest of my life Met some great people along the way, notably Nik at Nik's aircraft on the field at KRHV ( aka Flying S Aviation ) and ran into @larryb on the taxiway, nice to have met you ! Stopped at Mojave KMHV for fuel, and was in the traffic pattern with Proteus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaled_Composites_Proteus That was pretty cool. All the amazing views out west Parked next to a T6 Texan at KAEG Met some fine folks in Clinton Oklahoma KCLK Great BBQ near KOLV Met some of the salty aviators that hang out at KRHP ( my summer airport ) and all the friends I have not yet made at KSPG ( my winter airport ) Happy to be part of this community !

Also looking for J model panel CAD files, willing to pay for a copy, mostly just need the exterior outline and lower switch cutouts.

They still have 2 Mooneys, but for instruction only, they dont rent it. https://usflighttraining.com/about-us and about a month ago they quoted me $230 wet with instructor. Photos as above link ^ looks like a C and possibly E model ?

haha ! now that photo, looks *exactly* like my mission ! KSPG is my home airport, if you get down this way lunch is on me, so makes it only a $90 hamburger ?

give me a shout ! Ill DM you my contact info. KCLW is about 30 min from me, X39 a bit farther.

the back seaters are mostly cargo and a dog sometimes

getting close to purchase decision in the next few months, have my eyes on J or K models. have only every flown in an E model. any mooneyspacers around the Tampa Bay area ? ( my home airport is KSPG Saint Petersburg ) would love to meet up and check out your bird, mostly to check out the backseat legroom and additional space from the longer body. Lunch on me
