  1. Incredibly exciting for you ! Enjoy every aspect.
  2. Foam............hmmmm. Thought that went out years ago.
  3. With all the pain and suffering and great joy along the 50 year adventure of airplane flying and maintenance....................my most cherished accomplishment was my Ovation engine RR [with certified FAA supervision of course] .
  4. Gee................I sure miss scraped and bleeding fingers and knuckles, bloody arm gashes, smacking my bald head on gear door edges, blood blisters, turning and twisting in special under cowl, under instrument panel configurations, just to name a few.............
  5. Thank you Craig for Mooneyspace and your continued efforts.
  6. My heart aches over this loss of such a young beautiful family. Such incredible sadness for the families left behind.
  7. Haven't gone to AirVenture since 2014. I have enjoyed each day by watching some of the activity on YouTube. I did get to fly FISK arrival once. Tons of great memories for sure!!
  8. Speaking of departures out of SBA , unless there was a lot of commercial going on with 25, I would ask for a 25 departure as I never enjoyed flying way out of the ocean with a 15 departure. Many times when I did use 15, I was a couple of miles out over the water before I was given instruction to proceed on course. Not my favorite by any means.
  9. One more thought for you.......................I've been in situations where I felt I was being ignored by ATC................when I felt that I would simply check in with my call sign and that would prompt the controller to respond, realizing they had indeed forgotten about me.
  10. Further thoughts.................my procedures on that arrival coming in over GVO, I would listen to ATIS first [whether on flight follow or not]. I would also monitor tower to listen to what's really going on regarding runways in use. If I heard over tower frequency that small GA was landing/departing 15 and approach gave me 25, I would have questioned that with approach. I'm not suggesting this was your situation regarding what happened to you.
  11. Tower/approach control issue, nothing you did wrong. Yes, file the NASA. What you did was absolutely correct. You followed directions from approach. I've done that arrival many, many times, exactly as you described and never an issue.
  12. It Mite be................
  13. Wonderful memories of Jerry and his efforts on behalf of Mooney owners.
  14. Such a fun story of fun!!! Congratulations! Enjoy your beauty!
  15. Richard, there are no Mooney's based at Oceano [L52]. Yes, Mooney's based at Santa Maria, Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo.
  16. Sometimes over the years, I wanted to sleep with my Mooney [sometimes on trips, I slept in my Mooney ], but with those sheets you could actually sleep with your Mooney [well, sort of ! ] How fun is that?
  17. My preferred route too. Mornings preferred for less turbulence...............all weather dependent of course.
  18. I carried a Rhodes portable piano in my "67F. You should be able to fit the toilet in just fine.......love the humor y'all!!
  19. An opportunity to create a technology that does work!
  20. I did not purchase a unit. I made a couple of units myself with parts I had in the hangar. .
  21. Technology has to be created/implemented to prevent these potentially deadly mistakes.
  22. You two have darn good looking Mooney!!!!
