Mooney Legend Manthey, Runway 27, clear for departure, climb unrestricted to your destination, God's speed. It is with great sadness that we learned of a Mooney legend's passing. Jerry Manthey. He was a master mechanic and presented seminars around the country and wrote for the MAPA Log. Jerry did a couple of seminars at my home airport in Santa Maria. His favorite thing to do was to go check out everyone's airplane on the ramp. I remember he looked at my Maggie, and couldn't find too much wrong with her. Our condolences to Ethel Manthey and family. Services will be May 14th at 11:00 a.m. at the Green Valley Mortuary in Cameron Park, CA.

The code is still good! Enjoy!

If you would like to get a copy of the DVD just send an email to MooneyAmbassadors@charter.net The cost is $60 which includes DVD, t-shirt and shipping in USA. It was an all volunteer effort and we were given unlimited access to the Mooney Factory.

From what I understand 600 hp. Plans at 95kts GS, 30 gallons per hour. It will be a lot of fun. Day VFR only. We both will have ipad and Sentry too.

Breaking News: For the first time in a decade I will not be arriving to Oshkosh in a Mooney. I will be flying right seat with Dr. Brent Blue [MD/AME] in his beautiful 1942 Noorduyn Norseman. The Norseman is a Canadian single-engine bush aircraft, produced by Noorduyn Aircraft from 1935 to 1959. The aircraft was used for both civil and military purposes. In Norway the Norseman was especially important as an air ambulance and light transport aircraft along the coast, in the years after WWII. We have some fun stops along the way... Casper, WY, Mason City IA for the Third Thursday Fly-In, hoping for Rock the Ramp in Middleton, WI and then on into #OSH21. I hope to get to OSH in front of the Caravan to announce their arrival. Look for updates and photos along the way. I have never flown a radial engine and only have 20 minutes of tail-wheel time, but what they hey--- say yes to adventure and opportunity. While I may surely miss my #MooneyZoom it will be fun to see my aviation family along the way and at Oshkosh.

IDK it has been awhile but I cannot upload any photos no matter how hard I try. Then when I want to submit a post it doesn't do anything.

We have Mooney Girls, tank-tops, v-neck t shirts and jackets. I believe we have XS in the jackets. I know we have small in tanks and tees. If you would like just shoot me an email: JolieLucas@charter.net
