I signed the petition, avec le plaisir.

Thank you all for your input. I received a contact from a friend and will follow up on that. I'll let you know how that pans out. I have flown a Robin in France and a Cessna 172 in Spain. If anyone wants info on flying in those two places, please let me know. Phil

I have been flying our Mooney M20J for about 12 years, always in the East. Next June, I hope to fly to Colorado Springs. While there, I hope to take a mountain flying course in our plane. Yesterday, I consulted the performance tables in our POH. The tables give no data above pressure altitude 8,000. That seems to imply that the plane will not climb above that pressure altitude sufficient for takeoff. Can that be correct? Does anyone have high altitude experience with a 201 that will give me a little guideance? Maybe this sea-level pilot has just forgotten how to work those charts.

Magnus: Thank you for your reply. I wish we would be traveling near Zweibruecken, we'd take you up on a ride. But, definately pass our request on to anyone with whom we might fly around Berlin, or even Prague.

Brian: I sent you a pm by mistake. Stay tuned.

Does anyone know a Mooney owner in Munich, Berlin or Prague? I am looking for someone who would agree to take my wife and I on a sightseeing flight when we visit those cities in September. Or in the alternative, we would be willing to rent a plane and hire a CFI to fly with us in a non-Mooney. We have flown in France (Robin) and in Spain (Cessna) and would like to repeat those experiences.
