I was doing really well until about Oxnard. Then BOOM: moderate turbulence the whole way in from there. Was about 11:30 a.m. Tightened up the belt and slowed down.

Had a super short and fun flight from Santa Maria, CA to Camarillo. Usually takes about 35 minutes. Today it was just under 30 thanks to Mother Nature. Had 190 kts in my E model. I am demo-ing the new Lightspeed Zulu 3 headset. Super clarity and comfortable too. There are five Mooneys here and counting. I am parked near the newly certified two-door ultra. Mooney also has an Acclaim type S at Camarillo for demo/sale. Tomorrow is the big day for Pilot Plus One. It is going to be a lot of fun to connect with other pilots and educate the whole airplane. Friday night is the Barnstormer's party: dinner/dance. Saturday is exhibits and shorter seminars. Mooney Girls are in booth 52 in the exhibit hall.

I departed from Prescott, shortly after show end last year. Wasn't that bad.

Whenever I start packing for a trip, Mooney give me this look. "Oh Mom, don't go without me!" Will be fun to head to Camarillo, CA tomorrow for AOPA Regional. We have lots of folks registered for Pilot Plus One and of course there will be a full weekend of fun with the Barnstormer's Party, pancake breakfast, Saturday seminars and exhibit hall. We will have a booth in the exhibit hall and my airplane will be show-center. ArtCraft Paint will also have a booth in the exhibit hall.

I am hopeful that the owner will pick someone with GA experience and a connection to the factory. Fingers crossed

Here is my latest Opinion Leaders column. While at Sun n Fun I was looking for a great story and at the morning press briefing I got it. What I love about Fly Like a Girl, it that it feel grass-roots and based on passion much as Boots on the Ground the Men & Women who made Mooney was for me. I hope you enjoy the read and consider supporting the project with a few bucks. We not only need more female pilots, but mechanics, FBO owners and airport managers too. https://blog.aopa.org/aopa/2017/04/14/fly-like-a-girl-inspiring-a-new-generation/

My first trip to Sun n Fun was just spectacular. I was able to hang out at the Mooney Pavilion and get to see, first hand the buzz about the #CoolestMooneyEver, the Ultras. The back of the tent was the perfect spot to watch the airshows and was pretty much show central. It was thrilling to see the Blue Angels! The night airshow was stellar, as it is in OSH. The hangars had lots of exhibitors and was good to see old friends. I did a little photo shoot for Lift Aviation which makes a cool pilot shoe [look for a review soon]. The vibe was relaxed and very friendly. I will look forward to going back again next year. Here are a few photos for those who couldn't make it.

I am looking forward to my 9th or 10th OSH in a row. I will be flying Maggie in the Mooney Caravan and excited to be parked with my Mooney Clan. I also play in the EAA Concert band. What a hoot. We practice our music individually for a few months, then rehearse together [35 plus people] twice then have a concert. Sooo much fun.

Hey there Just wanted to start a thread about Mooney or MooneySpace events at SNF. Tuesday April 4th at noon is a Mooney International Press Briefing with snacks provided. Thursday April 6th at 8:30 is a VIP Breakfast at the Mooney Pavilion. I will the speaker at this breakfast. I will present on Pilot Plus One, Right Seat Ready and Boots on the Ground documentary I produced. Apparently tickets will be handed out at the Mooney Pavilion, so get one if you can. Does anyone want to meet up for a MooneySpace dinner on Thursday eve or Saturday? Apparently Mooney does not have further activities scheduled for Fri/Sat/Sun, but I will post any new details as I have them.

Plus the Mooney is handmade in Kerville, TX, USA~!
