Kannoplis, North Carolina - No injuries.

Good choice on choosing the J, that is accepted as the best Mooney Model ever produced, Directional Gyro King Stack Engine Gauges/Annunciators Check Rotate at Vr Speedbrakes Cowl Flaps Takeoff Flaps (15°)

Use Kissimmee Jet Center at KISM, if you need a rental car call them at 407-847-9095, the rental cars rates were very very cheap (i used enterprise) when booked directly with Kissimmee Jet Center(Oct 2014). Close to Disney etc. Not a fancy FBO.

Where are some of the good places to stay, etc? What route did you take those airports look pretty far South East. What kind of landing fees, Govt Taxes did you have to pay?

With apparent engine out at about 10,000 feet seems like he could have made it to the airport(elev 1252) 11nm away. (looks like he was trying head that way) Wonder why such a high descent FPM, Cirrus must sink like a rock with no power.

PIEDMONT...BKN025 LYRD FL280. OCNL VIS 3-5SM SCT -SHRA BR. OTLK...IFR CIG SHRA BR. CSTL PLAIN...BKN050 LYRD FL280. ISOL -SHRA. BECMG 1417 BKN030. OCNL VIS 3-5SM WDLY SCT -SHRA BR. OTLK...MVFR CIG SHRA BR. i love these low level prog charts for cloud/turb/fronts etc info

AREA FORECAST (FA) TO BE DISCONTINUED 12/31/2015 Taken from AOPA Pilot Magazine: "...advantages of area forecasts summarize weather by region with a quick overview fronts, lows, highs AND provide cloud layer and cloud top info, and summarize areas or precipitation both current and 6 hour forecast...." '''wants to move to more graphic breifings..." "....opponents of Area Forecast cite high metrorogist workload and other realignments...." I liked using the Area Forecast, particular the cloud layer, cloud ceiling, and top info. Where else can one find the cloud info forecast? example: NC MTNS...BKN050 LYRD FL280. OCNL VIS 3-5SM SCT -SHRA BR. OTLK...IFR CIG SHRA BR. PIEDMONT...BKN025 LYRD FL280. OCNL VIS 3-5SM SCT -SHRA BR. OTLK...IFR CIG SHRA BR. CSTL PLAIN...BKN050 LYRD FL280. ISOL -SHRA. BECMG 1417 BKN030.

The Piper Aerostar is an American twin-engined propeller-driven light transport aircraft, designed by Ted R. Smith. It was originally built by Ted Smith Aircraft Company, which after 1978 became part of the Piper Aircraft Corporation.

"Ferry flying is a lucrative but high-risk industry. Elite pilots deliver small planes across oceans and continents - distances these aircraft were not designed to fly.." BBC News http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34484972

i thought the price seemed a little low, she might be a good buy if low time engine is okay even with the years. But that's the rub, who knows. Need to have it checked over,

This one seems pretty realistic. $ 74,900 http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/MOONEY-M20J-201/1977-MOONEY-M20J-201/1388781.htm

Perhaps it would be helpful if you posted all the recent sales prices for each plane and include the detailed specifications of each so we could see the data you are speaking of.

You can check on Ebay, Search "Mooney Decal" I bought a few and quality was great. http://stores.ebay.com/Dragon-Wagon-Aircraft-Manuals/

From: Landmark Aviation FAY [mailto:fayfbo@landmarkaviation.com] Subject: RE: LIGHT SINGLE FEES The facility fee for a single engine aircraft is $40.00. The facility fee is waived with a fuel minimum of 7 gallons or a top off. The overnight fee would be $20.00 per night. There is also a security fee of $5.00, which is non-waivable.

Someone in Washington needs to stop this one, this is terrible news. Who reviews to mergers for antitrust in DC? Justice dept? http://www.justice.gov/atr/antitrust-foia

What does a Bravo upgrade entail? Prop need new engine at some point being 22 years.
