Nothing beats a Mooney when it comes to efficient small business travel. I took over a small manufacturing company last summer. We have customers in 38 states. Last week I flew from Orlando to Columbus Ohio & I averaged 107kts door to door... even though I booked a non-stop flight on a 737. Classic story: each airport was over an hour's drive from home / actual destination, waiting on bags, and our dear friends at TSA plus a 90 minute maintenance delay. It's time to get an airplane. I've owned a 201, managed a flight department & flew professionally before changing careers. My board of directors on the other hand has no experience with GA. They would prefer a 6 month lease with an option to buy so they can get comfortable with the idea of owning a company aircraft. I am looking for a well-equipped 231 or 252. My MEL is a WAAS GPS and a reliable autopilot. Long range tanks is a plus. Anticipating 100 hours in 6 months. 95% probability of buying it at the end of the lease; just have to prove the utility of the aircraft. If anyone has experience with this kind of an arrangement, I'd like to hear your suggestions / advice.
