    Replaced the electric fuel boost pump today. The original motor installed in 1996 suddenly began sounding sick; slow and irregular pulsing. Electric flap motor died 18 months ago. Is 20 +/- years the expected useful life of these small electric motors?

    Go ahead. Some young pilot will be happy to pay you 30 cents on the dollar for your investment

    I’m the same age and have been with USAIG through Falcon for all of my 25 years of Mooney ownership. Just renewed with 10% increase

    It wasn’t me. I started to install my LEDs but discovered my hands were too big and clumsy to work through the opening so I let an MSC do it

    Added one more airport (38W - Lynden, WA) to my landed at list. 3 miles from Canadian border. San Juan Islands and Anacortes on the way home

    I have an emergency survival kit that weighs about 30 lbs. I keep in the baggage compartment. It will be much more useful than lead weights if I have an emergency and does the same CG function

    How did human civilization survive for all these millennia without masks? They lived in small isolated family groups in Caves?

    Added three more WA airports to my “I have landed at list”. All along Pacific Coast. Westport (14S); Willapa Bay (2S9) and Ilwaco (7W1). There was a large herd of elk near the runway at 2S9.

    Just ordered a rebuilt Weldon A8163-B from QAA. 24 year old pump sounded sick last two starts. Half the RPM as normal and surging.

    The same 25, or another 25?

    I’m not a mathematician nor statistician but if the fatality rate is 1:100,000; and I fly 3,000 hours in my flying career, isn’t my chance of being one of the fatalities 3,000/100,000=3%? Of course all of us are above average pilots , so the rate is even less, no?

    Your post inspired me to review my log books. Since I got my PPL in 1989 I have landed at 59 different Washington airports. Looking at the charts it appears there are only about 12 that I haven’t yet landed at (public use, paved, >2500) most on the far (eastern) side of the state. Also landed at 122 different airports in other states and British Columbia

    Our aircraft came with standard/panel powered plugs. I bought Lightspeeds headsets with the six pin round connectors. No more batteries. The batteries always seemed to die at high workload moments when I couldn’t change them

    1” box end works well.

    Looks like KTTD is only 2.5 Mooney hours from Reno
