Aviation Mastery 2. This wonderful two-day event kicks off on Saturday September 21st. I will present Exit the Holding Pattern: Achieve your Aviation Goals on the 21st at 4:30 p.m. Come learn how to kick your bucket list to the curb! I am thrilled to be asked to present along with Mike Jesch, Gary Reeves, Pat Brown and Jason Schappert. Tickets: https://aviationmastery.org/ http://www.JolieLucas.com

If you are at OSH19 on Saturday please mark your calendars for Exit the Hold: Achieve your Avation Goals. I discuss the six keys to exit the holding pattern and reach your goals. This fast paced, multi-media presentation explores human factors in decision-making, motivation, and follow-through. The seminar is sure to inspire you to exit the holding pattern and move forward in your life goals. I have wonderful door prizes from Lift Aviation and King Schools.

We will be up on the announcer's stand welcoming you! It was sporty getting in to Appleton today, then the storm hit. Glad you weren't at OSH.

For sure you have to have an eye on that temp gauge. I also adjust on the take off roll. Once I am up and established in the gentle climb [on hot days with high DA is about 400-500 fpm] I rich the mixture to avoid overheating. I am sure to get some experience as I leave for OSH next week!

The clamp to the air duct is there, just out of the shot. But I have been advised to adjust it so the clamp is over the metal rings versus just the duct itself. It was an engine ground coming off the generator I believe. The mechanic said that it was one of two grounding wires. It is just so nice to have a Mooney expert that you can call, who is self-less in terms of supporting vintage owners and the brand.

I tend to lean aggressively on taxi anyway, for high DA I lean for taxi. Then while doing the run up I do lean for best RPM with throttle full in. Make sure your feet are on the brakes!

I have done Sante Fe, Cedar City, Yellowstone. No worries. Lighter on the weight, insanely early departure, lean for best RPM. Thank God you are flying the Best Airplane in the World.

As some of you know, I had my airplane flown to Maxwell because I lost confidence in the person who installed my engine. I was SO lucky. Don and Paul found numerous items that could have brought me down. The other day, upon pre-flight I noticed a cable hanging down where it shouldn't be. I took a photo and texted Don. He told me what it was [ a grounding wire] and what needed to be done. That man [and woman, Jan] is selfless. They are committed to the brand, to our Mooney Family, and to being leaders. We need more like Don, Jan and Paul.

My old stomping grounds. Wish I could make it. S21 was one of my solo cross country stops back in the day

It was no problem in the E model or the Ovation!

There are so many great things going on at AOPA LVK this weekend for the Mooney pilot. Here's what we are up to. Hope to see a lot of you there.

This is Columbia's 53rd anniversary of the Father's Day Fly-In. This is an upcountry airport with a grass runway [closed for the event] and an asphalt runway. A quick walk in to town gives visitors such a treat. Columbia is also a state park and its pedestrian zone is all dolled up like the 1850's complete with panning for gold, rides in carriages and horse shoe making. Mooney Ambassadors will be on display with the world-famous Moo Pool. We usually have 5-9 tents in the campground as well. Movie nights both nights, lots of airplanes and fun. Come join us.Sun6/1516
