  1. Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and settled on Mooney ownership, trying to decide between a J or K (252). I have read many other old forum posts on this topic, but I want to hear from you all who have flown both the J and K out in the mountainous areas west of Denver. I'm leaning in the direction of the turbo, but justifying the purchase and maintenance costs is making the decision a bit challenging. Just to be clear, I can definitely afford the K, but a wider dollar cushion is always nice to have. For clarity, I'm only considering the 252 variant of the K because I don't want to worry about the financial or mental workload of those premature high-altitude systems in the 231. Background: ATP and lifelong involvement in GA to at least some extent. Living in Flagstaff, AZ and based in Salt Lake City for work. The mission for the airplane would involved recreational cross country flights of 300NM or greater between four times per year and once per month. Using the airplane for commuting to work would be a desirable option, but not essential by any means. On the weekend trips most of the time we would be hauling just two people plus light bags. Occasionally a friend or family may join us. The vast majority of flying we would be doing would also be the most important stuff, flying down to lower elevation fields within the state of Arizona. No matter which type, night flying and approaches with ceilings below 1000 feet are no-go territory. Long story short; the main mission would be bumming around the "local" area for fun with about 30-40% serious, mountain-topping cross-country flying being a highly desirable option. My concerns with the J are performance above 15,000 feet and dispatch reliability given weather conditions. I like the systems simplicity and the associated lower burden of cost while enjoying the relative simplicity on fun-flying days. My concerns with the K are reliability, maintenance cost, the effect complex systems have on "fun factor" when hanging flying around the local area, and whether you all feel those are justified by any increased dispatch reliability. Thank you all for your responses, and stay safe up there! -Rich

  6. Hi Everyone. Hope you are having a nice start to your summer flying activities. I am happy to announce that the West Coast Mooney Group has been invited to participate in the Wings Over Camarillo Airshow this year at KCMA. We have an incredible per plane discount available to us and we will also have preferred parking as a group to display our planes for the public to enjoy. There will be static display of aircraft and vintage cars, Great food, music and some of the country's best airshow performers on hand for a great weekend of flying activities. Our participation as a group is limited to one day only on Saturday August 17th 2019. Airshow Information:. Location: KCMA Date: Saturday August 17, 2019 Arrival Time: 8:00 - 10:00 AM - (Runway will be shut down so please be on time) Preferred Parking On Ramp Together for the WCMG When you arrive, please tell ground control that you are with the Mooney Club Fly-in. They will coordinate with the airshow ground guys to park you. When you get to your parking area, please call this number (805-886-7639) and a representative will come to the planes, process your tickets and give you your wrist bands for the event. I have setup a special discount code for the West Coast Mooney Group for reducing the cost of a Adult General Admission ticket for Saturday ONLY to $20. You only need to purchase ONE Adult GA $20.00 ticket for each plane so in other words with four people on board you will save $80.00 admission per plane. Please make sure that you bring a printed copy of your one Adult GA ticket per plane. Tickets must be purchased by Friday August 16, at 4:30 PM so the airshow staff will know how many parking places to reserve for us and I know how many wrist bands I need to get. If you have any questions, please contact me. For Ticket Purchase Go To: www.wingsovercamarillo.com Click on the Tickets Icon Select ONE Saturday GA Admission Ticket Use Promo Code: MOONEY2019 (All Caps) for the plane discount I look forward to having as many of us there as possible to enjoy the day together and celebrate our beautiful Mooney Aircraft and general aviation. Please respond with a YES - MAYBE - NO and how many guests will be in your plane so I can get a sense of how many will be joining us. Contact me at anytime if you have any questions and please email me to let me know if you are going to join us. All The Best, Michael Rodgers N9268M 310-280-8983
