Hello all,
Presently, I am a deployed soldier in Afghanistan, and looking to upgrade to a FAST, effecient, long-legged, IFR platform for 2-3 real adults and bags, from my Cherokee 180 with a STOL kit.
My fiance' is back in the states and gave me permission to shop and if we find the right plane, buy it.
I would like more info on the Rocket, on Mooney Ownership, on someone who is the most persnickity PPInspector, and Rocket Flying.
Background and Mission for me:
- 650 hour IFR, SEL, SES pilot
- Approx 45 hours in retracts - T-34, Bonanza 35, and Arrow.
- Mission for work from Ft. Polk - 2-3 times a month - me plus 1-2 soldiers and bags on trips about 650 miles one way.
- Personal Mission - 2 weekends a month - flying me (or plus 1) 500 miles from Polk to South Atlanta and back.
My leave and long weekends go visiting friends and relatives - PA, TN, GA, IL
My insurance CO has given me pre-approval for a policy that I can afford.
Thank you,
Martin
