Heck of a neighborhood.

I watched two very experienced mechanics really struggle with an older 182 bladder. Lots of cussing and wanting longer arms.

I was wondering when the first comment would show. :

Happy New Year everyone.

Okay. You guys made me go look. October of 2008.

Guys. You do realize that @LANCECASPER will get a big head after all this praise??!! So cut it out!

As his story goes, he saw the writing on the tarmac. With new planes lining up outside on the North-South taxiway before the first bankruptcy, he bought a franchise of A/Z Rental Center which he opened in 1970.

Got a picture?

Thinking about these ashtrays, I bet Mooney made them at the factory. Light aluminum, a simple press cut. Possible.

Mooney memorabilia is cool!

We certainly do!!!

My dad was an engineer for Mooney from 1964 - 1969. He was the lead designer of the retractable step, an associate engineer on the design on the Mustang, ( he was against the roll cage concept and drew up a conventional pressurized tube design but was rejected) and lead AI/AP of the three assembly lines, back when they needed all three lines. We were cleaning out storage and came upon these items. I also found his Embry Riddle tie tack.

She also found two of these ashtrays. They do not say a model, or any other identification for that matter, but they are definitely '60's. I will keep one. Would anyone like the other?

Check out what my wife came across!! Authentic 1960 something Mooney Ranger Swag!! She found a total of ten. Six of which are in their original wrapper, ugly as they are. Would anyone like one? Sincerely David.

I believe that is the Black Vulture, not the Turkey Vulture. The head looks like the Black. The Black Vutures have big white spots on the bottom of the wings, the Turkey Vutures have a much more turkey looking head. Fun fact. What we grew up calling buzzards, is because of the German immigrants in the 1800's called them buzzards, because they don't have vultures in Germany. They have buzzards
