I appreciate the referral!

Any recommendations for a mechanic to do a pre-buy inspection on an M20E in Phoenix? The aircraft is located at Deer Valley (DVT). Thanks!

Thank you! Free Wawa coffee on Tuesdays? Seriously, I look forward to learning as much as I can about the subtle and not so subtle differences between the various "vintage" models. You know, beyond what's in the book. I'm sure there's alot of Mooney flying/maintenance/ownership experience represented here. Cheers!

Wouldn't you know it. I just joined this forum a few minutes ago and this is the first post I read cause I live in FL and it caught my eye. I wanted to test drive a Mooney since I've never flown one before. I like the idea of mechanical gear linkage and heard good stuff about Mooney performance. So I called Ocala Aviation and flew their M20C yesterday morning. It was a blast. It definitely looks like a training bird but it's what's under the hood that matters anyway if you want to get a feel for performance and flying characteristics. Next up for me is the Echo with 200hp - that's a plus with our high DA summer days here. Bottom line is I recommend giving them a call.
