I am nearly 100%, sure no one will see it unless you point it out.

Well guys, I pulled the trigger on it (65 M20C). My safety pilot and I are flying commercial from Atlanta to Fresno to pick it up. We are going to fly it in the pattern a few times. Then a couple of take off and landing at the field, then two neighboring fields. If it feels right then it will have a new home at LZU. Hoping to be an official contributor to the conversations has I learn more about it. I just want to say it was the productive Mooney talk that helped make it happen. There are a lot of insightful conversations here that helped get me over the hump. Here is what the return route looks like: E79-KWHP: KWHP-KHII: KHII: KHII-KAEG: KAEG-KPWA: KPWA-KHAB: KHAB-KLZU: We chose to go south to fly through the lower mountain pass from KWHP to KHII.

I completed my PPL in a Cessna 172 earlier this year. After doing a little flying in a piper arrow, I was hooked and I am ready to purchase one. In fact I have been shopping diligently and have not found the right one. There are a ton of later model t tails but research says it will fly differently than what I would prefer. In my search for the perfect Piper Arrow I thought it would be wise to look at similar aircraft just in case. Silly me now that I did a monkey wrench has been thrown in the mix. It seems the Mooney is a highly touted machine within the same class as the arrow but with different flight characteristics. Now here is the questions (I know, there was a lot said just to get to the question but) Does any one know where I could possibly rent one? If not, is there a way to meet Mooney owners near the Atlanta, GA area? There seems to be no flight clubs or schools with one in their fleet. If possible, I would love to speak to an owner to gather some real insight. I would be even happier if I could find fellow pilot who would be willing to fly with me to the restaurant of there choice on me in a Mooney. Then pay for the fuel to get us there and back. I also hear Mooney has a great family of aviators so, could someone point me in the right direction? by the way guys...I’m Phill
