Dear Fellow Aviators and Mooney Fans, Hope you are all having a great day! I have been dreaming about owning a Mooney / Vans type of fast GA aircraft since I first saw them at an airshow when I was a CAP cadet back in the 90s. I just moved back to the states from an overseas assignment, I am working on my PPL, have about 55 hours in C152's. I also have a jet maintenance background from the USAF and a large defence contractor. I currently work as a Tech Rep for a military jet and am looking to get my A&P this year. I am currently in middle/south Georgia. I am originally from Washington state. I have a house back in WA that should sell in the next few months freeing up some cash to buy a Mooney. I will have a budget around $30-$35k. So here are my questions and things I am looking for: 1. Recomendations for A&P's near middle Georgia with Mooney experience that could help with pre-purchase inspections. 2. Any Vintage Mooney airplanes for sale or brokers that sell them you could trust in my area. 3. Anyone with a Mooney near my area that would be willing to take me up and feel a Mooney to see if it's what I truly want (I would pay for some fuel etc)..? 4. Any pointers to existing resources in a Mooney buying search on a budget. Thank you very much for any links, help advice in advance. Best regards, --- Motorcycle and Aviation Enthusiast, Student Pilot, Mil Jet Tech Rep

I'm a few months (or less) from buying my first Mooney. Hoping for an M20K. I've flown as a safety pilot in one. My wife usually flies with me, and I'd like her to experience one before I make the big purchase. Is anyone within an hour or so flight (in a slow Warrior) from KCSG who'd be willing to let her sit in it if not take a quick ride. I'd pay for gas, and lunch or dinner. Any advice on the new purchase also very gladly accepted. Thanks, Richard

We have a wonderful furry passenger (65 lbs) that was rescued from certain death in a kill shelter. He now has a loving home and adoptive home in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin. Trouble is, this K9 currently resides in Atlanta, GA and needs a ride up North. Looking for a Mooney pilot willing to give this wonderful, furry guy a ride up North to COLUMBUS, OHIO from Atlanta. We have a volunteer that will take him from Ohio up to Wisconsin. The weather looks fantastic this Thursday/Friday. This rescue is being adopted into a home with a special needs person that must have a calming companion. We are trying our best to do some great work. We will provide you a crate, pads, whatever. If you are flying anyway, why not help save a life? Thank you for the consideration. N23MD - 706-974-8316 The better Half - Two Tailz ResQ "Carolyn" 404-909-2000

I know all about Pilots and Paws as I do flying missions for them from time to time. This is a long CC and not for the average pilot - "Less than a Mooney" need not apply! I am based in Gainesville, Ga and can meet you if you can help me transport this wonderful dog the balance of the way into Northern Wisconsin. We will provide you a crate, pads, whatever.

Hey fellow flyers, I am new to the group and in the market for a M20J/K and looking for someone who owns one in the Savannah, GA area to see if I might be able to "try it on" before I commit my time and effort if finding one. Second looking for a CFII preferably a Mooney owner in the same area that is proficient in type. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
