Done and Done!!

You're exactly right and that's exactly what she's doing. She found a CFI at her flight school (of all places) by total accident. He owns a Mooney and teaches Mooney student owners. He's agreed to take her as a student and ferry the plane home.

My Daughter found a CFI at her school that says he's willing to both ferry the plane with her and instruct her. The CFI is also a Mooney M20e owner with hundreds of hours in the type. She literally just met the guy today thru happenstance. I want to thank everyone that responded. Of course, I will keep all of the information learned today - just in case the situation changes, or it's needed in the future. Thank you all!!!

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and am here actually to support my daughter. I'm an old retired Army "Huey" guy and have zero time in a Mooney. My daughter purchased a Mooney M20J located in West Palm Beach, Florida - and she needs it flown to Prescott, Az. She has no experience with Mooney's and neither does her VERY young CFI. She's looking for a pilot from AZ that is willing to go to Florida with her and fly it home. She's willing to pay the costs involved. It would be even better (but not required) if the pilot is a CFI. In the alternative, She is looking for a Florida Mooney pilot that can fly it to Az and then return home via commercial flight. Her goal is to simply get the plane home to Arizona. Because she and I are both new to airplane ownership, we have no experience in having a plane ferried. I was told that this forum would be an excellent place to start. I used a spread sheet posted here in the forum, to contact a few people and hopefully someone will contact me. My Daughter is very determined to get this aircraft home safely and does not want to risk a pilot without Mooney experience, flying it. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!
