I'm the proud owner ov N721LP, a '67 C model. It is my second Mooney and I must say, they are wonderful airplanes. I keep her at 22W, in western NC, 2150' MSL, and 3000' long by 40' wide, with trees on each end. Once you get used to the approach it's not too difficult to get in and out of. A Garmin 430, EDO HSI, KNS-80, and an Anywheremap PDA makes navigation effortless. I am diligently working on my Instrument rating, thanks to John and Martha King...hahhah. My son is also a PP, and is a Lieutenant and a 2008 Air Force Academy grad based in Columbus, MS awaiting flight training in December. Hope to be talking to y'all in the future.........
