Hello all! My name is Cullen, I’m new around here. I am looking into owning my first aircraft as I’m flying enough that renting is starting to become more expensive then most of the ownership cost estimates I’ve heard out there. I am very interested in the vintage Mooneys with Johnson bar gear (oh boy here we go…) because of the maintenance costs. I am looking for a good cross country airplane, some may call a “personal airliner”. I am totally new to this and would love to get some advice on what to look for in a listing / monthly or hourly costs for such an airplane, and if anyone knows of some for sale, I would love to see them. For reference I am a 250 hour private pilot, just finishing up my instrument rating flying out of the Denver, CO area. I am excited for this opportunity and to hear what all you have to say! Thank you.
