    MooneyMAX 2023 Conference

    MooneyMAX 2023 Aviation Conference June 21st - 25th Hilton Garden Inn - Longview, Texas Registration: www.mooneymax.com
  2. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!! One thing’s for certain, pilots know about making critical decisions like: “Should I file an ASRS Report (Aviation Safety Reporting System) for a mistake I made today, or shouldn’t I?” This one has an easy, predetermined answer, ABSOLUTELY YES, file it!!! Having a Mission Rule for such things either on the ground, or in the air provides a pre-cooked answer or takes much of the ambiguity out of it. Register for MooneyMAX 2022 Conference right away! Gain some great information from Mr. Richard Simile, he is the President of Thunderbird Aircraft Sales, and has 45 years in aviation. Mr. Simile is a Mooney Specialist and has been associated with the sale of Mooney Airplanes for 30+ years and he is well known in the Mooney community. Experience Mr. Simile’s dynamic presentation on “Aeronautical Decision Making Related to NASA Mission Rules.” This is a safety presentation about Mooney Aircraft and Pilot Decision Making. This presentation focuses on solidifying "Mission Rules" directly related to mandatory resolution actions in the event of an emergency OR situation that might lead a pilot toward a continuingly deteriorating situation unless a predetermined decision (Mission Rule) is followed which would break the chain of events leading to an incident or accident. We hope you can make...........MooneyMAX 2022 Registration and Tickets MooneyMAX 2022 Conference Richard A.

  3. Heard horror stories about Mooney spins? Think you have the “right stuff” or the nerve to try one? Before making that crucial decision check with Mr. Bob Kromer, Mooney Factory Development and Certification Engineering Test Pilot and former Mooney Factory Executive VP and General Manager, will be one of our very special speakers at MooneyMAX 2022. Kromer will be presenting a special session on the REAL TRUTH about Mooney spins. As one of the test pilots for Mooney during development and certification, he HAD the “Right Stuff.” It’s our understanding that old films from the 60’s of the actually spin testing will be pulled out of mothballs and shown. You don’t want to miss this! Be sure and register today and plan to attend MooneyMAX 2022. Just one of the many great presenters this year.

  5. Hello again from MooneyMAX! Let’s make your Mooney famous! The movie: “Showing Mooney Love” We love our Mooneys and most of us probably keep pictures on our phones. (We keep them handy just in case the subject of aviation comes up.) This year during MooneyMAX 2022 we’ve found a way to show off and brag about our planes and have fun doing it. A photo contest displaying your Mooney(s) is underway. You are encouraged to upload your favorite photos and/or videos through your MooneyMAX (Whova) Conference website. All entries will be edited into a movie "Showing Mooney Love" that will be run throughout the conference. Winners will be announced at the Saturday evening banquet. details: Contest images uploaded may be: Family vacations with your Mooney, Unusual places you've flown to and would like to share, Airshows (with your Mooney of course), In-flight or formation flights, Be sure to include interior and panel shots, this is a beauty contest also, Just hanging around the hangar, and Even funny photos that show the love. Information as to where the photo/video was taken and a little about the trip will be very helpful. Make sure you add the Reg Number, year, and model to compete. You may upload or submit up to 10 images. Images and/or video should be submitted by June 3rd in order for editing. We will make every attempt to include entries before the start of the conference. Prizes will be awarded at the Saturday evening banquet. (Secret judges for now to keep them honest. They may think they can be bought.) A final cut of the video (including awards) will be made and available to all participants following MooneyMAX 2022. Categories for Prizes: “Best Short Body” “Best Mid Body” “Best Long Body” “Best in Show” “Best Photo Showing Mooney Love” Should you have any problems uploading images or videos, don’t hesitate to send me your entries or give me a call at 903-931-2313. I’ll make sure your Mooney is in. I've already had some folks say they KNOW they have the winner. So, if you haven’t registered for MooneyMAX 2022 and want to enter your beautiful Mooney do so now. Make your Mooney a STAR. Register at: www.MooneyMAX.com MooneyMAX 2022 Conference website and register
  6. The “Mooney Dinner Club” has once again arranged a special evening for Mooney folks to enjoy a group dinner during MooneyMAX 2022. Your host, Mr. Don Muncy warmly extends an invitation to all participants of MooneyMAX to join the fun Friday evening, June 10th, following the day’s sessions. The group will leave our host hotel for a brief 3-minute walk to Papacita’s Mexican Restaurant which is next door to the Holiday Inn Longview. The restaurant will have a special Fajita Buffet with all the trimmings for us and serve in their private dining area upstairs. Tickets for this Friday evening event are $23.00* a person. Alcoholic beverages may be purchased at the table, Cash Bar. In order for the restaurant to prepare for us restaurant management requires the total count of people, therefore the deadline for the “Mooney Dinner Club” is June 6. We will have a limited number of “Dinner” tickets at the MooneyMAX registration table. From years’ experience of this dinner, there has been anywhere from 20 to 40 people participating in this fun. This year we have arranged to accommodate up to 60. Be sure to purchase your Mooney Dinner Club ticket early. It’s a wonderful way to visit with old friends and make many new ones. Menu: • Mesquite Grilled Chicken Breast • Steak Strips • Grilled Onions & Peppers • Flour Tortillas • Cheese Enchiladas with chili con queso sauce • Beef Tacos • Sour Cream • Pico De Gallo • Refried Beans • Spanish Rice • Guacamole • Tea and Coffee • Dessert: Hot Sopapillas with honey *Alcoholic beverages may be purchased at your table (cash bar) For additional information or assistance don’t forget you can reach EVERYONE attending MooneyMAX 2022 through your MooneyMAX Whova Event website.

    "Don’t let the dry title fool you. Single-Pilot IFR Pro Tips by Gary Reeves is a lively read full of unconventional wisdom.
    Reeves, the FAA’s 2019 Certificated Flight Instructor of the Year and the force behind PilotSafety.org is a thoroughly knowledgeable, insightful, and memorable teacher who backs up his recommendations with real-world examples. I’ve flown with Reeves, and he’s got encyclopedic knowledge of IFR procedures; he’s a wizard with aviation technology; and if you ask him nicely, he won’t wear the Pepto-Bismol pink shirts that have become a hallmark in his videos and live presentations.
    Reeves is a highly sought-after instructor and lecturer. Reading his book is like taking a two-hour lesson with him—and that makes the book’s $29.95 price seem like a bargain."

  9. So very sad to have Jerry leave us. He was one of the greats. Prayers for Ethel and the family.
  10. Don, Paul and our crew worked all today finishing up their part of the Predator project and getting is ready for new paint. Predator will not only be at the June conference but will be flying that weekend. Also, our Mooney Mustang project will be complete, on display and flying. I just have to keep the coals stoked under their feet to keep them working.
  11. Let's just hope all this will pass in time for West Coast Mooney trip. Looks like we will be flying the Missile to Sun River. J
  12. Sad notice to have to send: Due to ongoing concerns regarding the spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) and after discussions with attendees and exhibitors the decision has been made to cancel the MooneyMAX Conference this year. The health and wellbeing of the Mooney community is our main concern and all are in our prayers. Don Maxwell Aviation Service Center, however, will continue to be open for all services during this trying time. As always, we will strive to accommodate all owners with their Mooney maintenance needs. Give us a call for any assistance. Let's all hope this virus thing will be behind us all before Air Venture 2020. See everyone at Oshkosh! From this Mooney family to our beloved Mooney community, stay safe and well.
  13. Great ideas and agree. As to #8: MooneyMAX is a non-profit formed specifically for Mooney education. MooneyMAX 2020 will be a 3-day educational Conference for Mooney owners of all models the first of May. Returning and confirmed guest speakers are Mike Busch, Bob Minnis, Bob Kromer, Jimmy Garrison, and others. NO pilot knows EVERYTHING! Aviation education and knowledge of our Mooney’s should be a constant goal. Would love to hear ideas and suggestions of areas owners would like covered.
  14. Don, Paul and I will be at Oshkosh all week!
  15. Maybe...watch for announcements. Of course, I'm out of this venture. I have enough on my plate and keep trying to retire. LOL But GMax is off and running.
