MooneyMitch

I’m sure glad I never wound up on our wonderful MS as a pilot that did something really stupid ! Maybe that’s why I stopped flying !!

I was told by Paul Loewen several years ago, the cowl enclosure did nothing to enhance speed or cooling. It was purely for asthetics.

Remember the Hindenburg !!!!

It was love at first sight when I saw one up close when I was 7 years of age……. Eventually I discovered what great airplanes they truly after I bought my first one!

Oh, happy day !!

My comment is not directed at anyone in particular……. but, this discussion does remind me of a joke I heard……… Wife says to her friend…. I knew I’d marry Mr. Right….I just didn’t realize his first name would be Always !!

So good to hear from you!

Thank you for sharing your adventure in your Mooney. Brings to mind some great Mooney flying adventures for me along your routes. Enjoy each moment!

Courageous !

That would make my skin crawl…..I’ll be looking at my tool box differently now !

My opinion, based on previous experience with 500 hour mag checks, I’d have shop replace capacitors during the process.

Here's what was happening at Central Coast Airfest 2024. About a 50 minute video, but super duper it is!! Love that P51 Mooney style wing!!!

Thank you for coming Tom! Great photos!! Next year, we’ll do it again

September/October are beautiful fall weather flying months here on the central coast of CA. Facility and close by tour opportunities abound here …….Planes of Fame is opening their Museum at (SMX)Santa Maria (all single engine warbirds located here), along with Steve Hinton’s race plane manufacturing facility, the huge Raddison Hotel ( large banquet facilities) is located on the field, our world famous wine country, Hearst Castle, Vandenberg Space Force Base ( can you say Space X launches easily viewable from multiple locations), the ever popular Solvang Danish town, Chumash Casino, beautiful Pismo and surrounding beaches, our left coast famous and breathtaking Highway 1 drive up to Big Sur, etc . ………. Just a thought!!! I sincerely hope all goes well for this coming Summit.
