Hello All The most efficient way of helping Point Person Ron McBride will be to register to attend this event on the Ambassador website: http://mooneyambassadors.com/20815.html This looks to be a great event, supporting a wonderful GA airport. Here is the list of the other events so far for 2010: August 10, 2010 7:00-9:00 p.m. The Mooney Ambassadors will be presenting at the Orange County Pilots Assn. meeting at John Wayne [sNA] on August 10th from 7:00-9:00 p.m. The meeting is held at the Airport Administration building and FAA Wings credit will be given. http://www.ocpilots.org/MbrPgm/Events/EventsOne.asp?Event=197 Colorado Sport International Air Show and Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In August 28-29, 2010 Mooney Ambassadors will display. This year’s event will also commemorate the 50th anniversary of its venue. The Colorado Sport International Air Show and Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In will be held August 28 & 29, 2010 at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield, CO. The event will not only celebrate the airport’s history and importance to the community but also provide great family fun and enjoyment for our neighbors in the Denver metro area and throughout the region." Point Person: Alan Higgins Lake in the Sky, South Lake Tahoe, August 27th and 28th 2010 We will be airshow participants this year. Complimentary evening meal on Friday August 27th, breakfast and lunch on the 28th. Free admission to all Mooneys who fly in. We will cap at 12 Mooneys on display. All Mooneys are welcome, and we will have space on the ramp, probably near Mountain West for any Mooneys who sign up beyond the display cap. Sign ups are first come first served for the 12 display slots. If you would like to be considered for the airshow demonstration, you will need to attend mandatory pilot briefings. Elko, Nevada Sky Fair September 11th, 2010 The purpose of Sky Fair is to showcase general aviation at the Elko Regional Airport. So this goal is directly in line with our Mooney Ambassadors mission. It is intended to be educational and fun for the general public who normally do not have access to J.C. Harris field and aircraft. The event will be held on Saturday September 11th, 2010 on the same weekend as the Elko MoRodders Car Show. We will also have pilot goody bags and a fuel discount. Will also do an informal VIP BBQ Friday night the day before the fly in.The event is FREE to the public and goes from 8 AM to 4 PM. Point Person: Randy Powell Edenton, NC Northeastern Regional Airport, September 25 Point Person: Amelia Reiheld sure would love to have a gathering of Mooney Ambassadors there, so all you Mooney drivers, plan to join us in beautiful historic , for a fly-in/community open house at Northeastern Regional Airport. It'll probably run from 10-5 or so. We hope to have area military big-iron, both static and fly-over demos, RC demos, food vendors, free airplane rides, exhibits from charitable flight organizations, etc. Camping and airplane parking are (as always) free, though you'll need to bring your own tie-downs. If camping and fair-food isn't your style, reserve a car with Enterprise, and book a room in one of the wonderful B&Bs in and around Edenton. There are some excellent restaurants, too. If Mama would rather tour the colonial historic sites and shop than talk airplanes, we'll find a ride into town. Mariposa Airport EAA event, September 25, 2010 The Mariposa Airport is a gateway to the beautiful Yosemite area. This fly-in was organized to highlight the importance of this GA airport. Please come and show your support and represent for our company. Point Person: Ron McBride. Livermore, CA.

You know, for a Wednesday, 2000 is great. What an accomplishment. We would love to see photos. You are doing us all very proud. Thank you for your commitment.

You can also sign up to attend on the website. MooneyAmbassadors.com

While I cannot speak to whether VMG is still coming to Westover/Jackson, I can say that I was planning on getting some Ambassadors like we did last year. I have been invited to attend a SSS Super Safety Seminar in San Diego on 9-11, so it looks like I might do that. If there are folks who want to do the Ambassador thing in Jackson, I can help arrange it. Here is the video for last year: We had four Mooneys last year with a canopy and table out front. If anyone can come, let me know and I will help arrange. It is a super fun event.

It was so nice to meet you Ned, and we are happy to have made your "fun" list. I have photos which I will get turned into a video soon!

We had a wonderful time at Airventure 2010 and had the opportunity to talk about promoting general aviation to the flying and non-flying public. As well, nearly everyone we met had heard about Oceano Airport and our fight to keep it an airport. We had two interviews with the flight line announcer. These interviews are live and take place shortly before the scheduled air shows. The flight line speakers stretch a mile and a half down the runway, so we reached a lot of folks. The first interview talked about the Mooney Ambassadors and how we promote general aviation. The second interview focused on Oceano airport and included our airport celebration day and our fly-in movie night. Coming up is our August 10th presentation to the Orange County Pilots Association. https://www.ocpilots.org/Web/OCPilots/default.asp Upcoming at Oceano: Movie Night will be repeated sometime this fall. December 4th Toys for Tots Event. http://friendsofoceanoairport.com/events-at-l52.html If you could help us get the word out as you have in the past, it would be much appreciated!

That's the spirit Bob. We just scheduled an event in Louisiana in early October. 2010 Cane River Aviation Rendezvous, October 8th-10th, 2010 Natchitoches Regional Airport, Louisiana.

Thank you Bob When are you having an Ambassador event in Illinois??

Here is the link for the AOPA Live interview. http://www.aopa.org/aopalive/latest.cfm?watch=RtNzRtMTovdlhwoC1o0QUtzmkTNhN_CO We had a blast at Oshkosh.

Hey Russ Good luck on your event. I put it in the presentation at Oshkosh. I hope you have lots of folks come by your beautiful airplane and get to hear about Mooney Airplanes and general aviation. You are a true Ambassador. Thank you for your commitment.

Many congratulations on your new to you Mooney! We are at AirVenture/Oshkosh, and have been hanging out at the MAPA tent all week. It is so cool to meet those who share the love of a wonderful airplane. I bet you are smiling from ear to ear.

Here is the line up for AOPA Live tomorrow, see attached photo. We feel pretty lucky to be between Tom Poberezny and Dick Rutan! It is also wonderful to see Mooney in there with Cessna, Piper and Terrafugia. http://www.Aopa.org/aopalive should get you there.

We would hate to see you turn to dust Fernando. Mitch will try to get an answer for you!

The photos were just spectacular. It broke nearly in half. We spoke with two eye witnesses. Sounds like a case of over correction of centerline drift, and a stall. Boom. For us, we are having a blast here at Oshkosh. Had 25-30 at dinner last night. Super fun.

The Mooney Ambassadors will be highlighted on AOPA Live TV interview on Thursday at 12:40 p.m. [Oshkosh time!] We are doing a fair amount of press and trying to get the word out about Mooney and promoting general aviation. Check out AOPA.org, you should be able to link to AOPA Live. Horray!

Double posted sorry!

We are looking at options, perhaps Friar Tucks as it is close. We have a rental car, small, but we could help for sure. We are taking our friend to Juneau to get his plane. We have a commitment tomorrow morning with the EAA Announcer, Wayne as we are doing an interview at 11:30 on the flightline. MAPA will be a great place to meet [hope that's okay Trey/Lela!] Everyone is welcome! Let's get together!!! Fernando, I will get photos up as soon as I can. I am taking the camera today. Our forum for the workshop [#2 GAMA] has a great view. I will take some photos of that. We look out over the RVs whose wheel pants are dangerously close to the mud, off to the Fighter planes. This is really something. And to be part of it all is probably a once in a lifetime thing. Chicago concert tonight. Mitch and I are going to try to get on the Kiss-Cam! Maybe we will kiss and make the Mooney Tail sign. Thanks to Eldon for getting us some press while we are here! Go Mooney!

Please let us know the updates. We arrive in Appleton, by commercial air on Sunday morning. Perhaps we will be able to see the mass arrival after all.

Thank you for the updates. We are hoping to bring some of that California sunshine to Oshkosh! Rain or no rain, we are coming!

Oceano California and Jackson Westover California $4.50

Thank you AOPA Ebrief for the mention of my Forbes Wheels Up story. "Mooney Ambassador makes emergency landing!" [or something close to that] http://blogs.forbes.com/wheelsup/2010/07/20/a-mooney-girl-is-born-part-3/

We stayed at a hotel in Mayville our first year. It was about 40 minutes. We kept passing all the fireworks stores. Finally stopped and loaded up. They are the best fireworks....

Hey Mitch, Alan is a Mooney Ambassador...maybe he is trying to bring folks back from the dark side.

I think if it rains we are all going to Scott [sven's] Pop-up camper at scholler! And don't forget the Lt. Dan Band. We are going to be there, and I believe Don Kaye too!

Here is the third installment in the Forbes publication Wheels Up: http://blogs.forbes.com/wheelsup/2010/07/20/a-mooney-girl-is-born-part-3/#more-831 Before you ask, the fourth and final installment on this series will be published sometime next week! I am happy to try to keep our Mooney brand in the public eye, and the way the story ends is a testament to Al and Art's design. All the best See you at Oshkosh! Jolie N6619U
