One of the best days is getting your plane back from downtime. Best to you.

https://www.centralcoastairfest.com/ This is an excellent event! I'll be hosting at my former hangar at SMX on Sunday, October 15, 11-4PM. The hangar is located adjacent to the main taxiway Alpha, at exit Mike. From the hangar, there's a great view of the airshow flying. Also, since the hangar is about 50 feet from taxiway A, we get a great view of all planes returning to parking after landing...........and a wave from the pilots too! Burger, chips, salsa, water and soft drinks provided. Bring a folding chair. Transient parking is available just North of the tower [arrival/departure times restrictions apply.] It's about a 100 yard walk North from transient parking to my hangar. Mitch, 805 305-1546 NOTE: It can get pretty exciting as some of the demo flights fly right over the hangar during their performances.............the F35 is absolutely astounding!!!

Mooneyspace……. a valuable asset!!

Pride of ownership represented by your Mooney. The next owner will be most fortunate. Best to you.

Isn't that called selective hearing? A commonality between husband and wife..........

Terribly sad and devastating for families left behind .

Wow! Extremely ambitious. What a terrific plan.

Appears to be so.

Rumor floating around is 8 cities are interested in hosting the air races!! Sure hope so!!

Enjoying watching live Reno Air Races currently via YouTube. Great video work by technicians for up close action. Narration by legendary Danny Klesham and Juan Browne (blancolirio). Brings back wonderful exciting memories of my attending the races.

To pee or not to pee. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer......................... Should we stop or shouldn't we stop? Sometimes yes, sometimes no............it all Depends [LOL] ! It's great to have several choices [diapers heavily discouraged though ]. What a fun thread this is. Where the heck is Piloto??

Lots of options mentioned here............there's always more than one way to skin a cat...........so they say!!

"That ain't no lady. That's my wife", from the Dick Van Dyke TV show many years ago......... All seriousness aside.......................there was no need to move the front seat at all. Just maneuver to the back seat and straddle the J squatting sideways, one foot on the floor and the other on the seat. Use your imagination for a fun site picture if you will.......... double . We normally carried lots of water and a food bag full of yummy stuff, so stops were only for fuel. Worked out very well.

My experience in an Ovation on many cross country adventures..............the Lady J is quite doable, depending on the ability of the female to relocate herself to the back seat area. Had some friends, male and female that experimented with diapers.....................results were negative and quite unpleasant. Continuing the flight afterwards, sitting in the diaper with liquid or other material contained, was an unhappy experience. If you are really curious, try it at home watching a movie [or whatever]............my bet is your curiosity will be satisfied and the J will appear as a much more positive experience..................warning.....................while the wife is in the back seat.............DO NOT mess around with fun little up and down or slip maneuvers...................you could suffer a serious concussion from a fist, or any other readily available object! ...............not to mention possible damage to your beautiful interior!!!

I spent my working years at Vandenberg Air Force Base [now Space Force Base], here on the left coast, and had the great opportunity to view many, many launches over the years. Hope you get to see the launch!!

This appears to be a very rare situation here on MS. I too have never had any issues and always shipped prior to receiving payment.

Darn. Possibly a medical issue with buyer and unable to communicate or even function normally. Hope for the best for both of you

Anthony…..a wonderful asset to us all here on MS! Wishing you continued joy and happiness and yes, you are dearly missed . Enjoy each precious moment.

Usually doesn’t turn out well when one commits perjury in a courtroom.

Congratulations on all!!

T&G's................oh my!!!!

Well done, everyone!

I mean no disrespect, nor do I mean in anyway to diminish Roy LoPresti and his accomplishments during his time at Mooney. It’s clear he made the J happen by directing all those mods be incorporated. That was made clear to me by Bill Wheat and others. Again, it was also made clear to me that the mods were in existence before Roy arrived at Mooney, with the exception of the winglets (Roy’s idea). What a great airplane it turned out to be!

I completely understand her desire. They say the first step to recovery is admitting there's an issue......................I am a recovering motorcycle addict! Doing my best to stay off of them now....................It all began at the age of 5 or so........................LOL. After many years and many, many wonderful experiences, I keep one bike that I purchased new in 1980. I only keep it for sentimental reasons.....................I only maintain it's beautiful condition, but do not ride it. Anyway, hope she has fun and remains safe and healthy. And again, you enjoy that wonderful Mooney airplane!!
