Well, in my search to learn more about GA beyond the world of Cessnas, I wanted to see if anyone here knows of any Mooney CFI's and rentals in the greater Las Vegas area? As I indicated in the INTRO thread, I've recently rejoined the world of flying. Being very low time, I never even entertained the notion of a Mooney before, figuring they are just out of my league after flying only 152s and 172s. But then again, it's worth asking to see if there are any such CFIs in Vegas with access to a Mooney for rent. I figured, before I make any choices about buying an aircraft, perhaps it is more wise log time in various models first. And after posting on other GA forums about looking into a used 172, several folks mentioned Mooneys. So, here I am, seeking your sagely wisdom... and if I'm lucky, some leads to a CFI with Mooney experience in my neck of the woods! Thanks!

Hello all. Name is Jason. I'm an attorney from Las Vegas, NV. Got my private back in '94. Until a few weeks ago, I hadn't flown since '96. I was in college at the time and logged only about 80 hours. After that, I got a bit busy finishing up college and then headed off to law school, then built a law practice and a family, and just fell away from GA. But seems like the bug may be back. Flew a 172 with a g1000 in it. Enjoyed it. Forgot so much, however, that I repeated a full ground school course with a local flight school/club. Recently, on some other forums boards after inquiring about looking into plane buying, some folks pointed me this way, over to Mooneys. I don't know anything about them, except I've always figured they were out of my league skill-wise, etc. Nevertheless, I figured I would check it out and learn what I can from folks like yourselves that are in the know. As I get reacquainted with flying, and log some more hours of flight, my near term goals is to begin instrument training. Then perhaps over the next 12+ months or so, look into purchasing a plane.
