Guys. I must be on one of Mooney's test pilots flight path. I have seen more new planes flying around, than I have ever seen before. I hear in them in IMC, doing tests. I see turbos and O's (you can hear the difference), all are unpainted in different shades of shiny aluminum. Building this many planes makes me assume that Mooney is selling them. I know I will never be able to buy a new Mooney, but I am happy there are people that can and do buy them. Nothing really to report here other than my thoughts, but it makes me feel good knowing if I hear a single engine above, it's a better chance than not that it's a new Mooney. DF

Posted 45 minutes ago · Report post Okay. Here is another tidbit that I was able obtain. " there are several on the production line" That was four hours ago. DF

I agree with the displaced Texan.

I am not a mechanic. I say Cam spalling. DF

Very nice. You have a winner there. Good luck. df

I would find out where the iron is coming from. Go from there.

Is that the inlet?

More fuel for the fire. Tonight in the restaurant were 10 Mooney shirts. I bereated them about how long it was taking for the press release and they said "what press release" with a smile. Now why are 10 Mooney guys in my restaurant, on a Tuesday night? I didn't get into it with them, or try to press for information, but I take it as a good sign. more fuel for the fire. df

I was about to say check with Rainman. Couldn't remember your Paint scheme exactly, but I thought of you.

If "Yooper" is a word, so is Aircrafts.

They trailer helicopters every day. Just saying. If I saw a clear path, no width issues, I would consider it as an option if the plane wasn't in airworthy condition. If all it takes is panels and paperwork, so be it. I thought the whole panel was out along with other issues.

Only 18 miles? Would it be feasible to put it on a trailer and haul her? df

Now that, is funny!

Go Massa

War what???????

I will agree that this seems a very fair price. If I were asking specifics.... Is ABS in and out situated by the Garmin? What about the oxygen bottle, how long till replacement? I would do probably update those before I would do the interior, if one was worried about the interior. The standard questions about reseal of course. The standard questions about doughnuts of course. Assume all AD;s are compiled with. When was the Mod Squad engine installed? The average hours of usage of the plane is 81 hours per year. I would want to know the last two or three years of usage. On first glance, these numbers seem okay, but I would want the details. Just thinking out loud. DF

I am sorry to say I have no updates. My sources have gone quiet for some reason. grrrrrrrrrrr df

I have been out of town this weekend. Let me get the sources on the line.

I'm sorry for the tease everyone. I am excited for Mooney and I feel a little guilty even bringing up the topic. Come on Mooney, where's the press release!

It was on the flight line today!! I was Not there to see if it flew or not. Grrr. I hope so.

It may have flown today! If not today, tomorrow!!!

A few months ago I posted that Mooney was going to make a big announcement. I know what the announcment is. ✈️ No. Not a jet. i don't know the full extent of the changes, just the major ones. Many have argued for different changes, myself included, but it is a start. David

I got to fly a 172 with my brother in law (Commercial/IFR) and Father in law in the back this weekend. I was left seat. We putted around north Texas, saw lots of wild hogs, did a touch and go at an airport he had not landed at before, and went home. What was funny was he has lots of Cherokee time. He really did not like my sight line with any of my landings. I greased all three of them. He was not liking any of it, he could not get used to my technique. He couldn't argue with the end result.

That is very will thought out ChrisK Good job.

Watch out. I will start talkin' Texan to Ya'll
