Mooneymite Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Any insight to why memory seems to be more of a challenge with age? Anything we can do hold off the challenge? Best regards, -a- One of the worst things about aging is you can't remember if you just said something, or not.

PTK Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Excellent work as always Jolie! One great article! Thank you! I will assign this as required reading to my wife and other women I know. I especially like this: "...Women, on average use four words to every one word a man uses..." This has to be a low average! There's not one woman I know who doesn't talk too much including my wife! I tell her on occasion, but she calls it "communicating!" Go figure! Quote

mooneygirl Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Posted June 27, 2014 Hot off the press, AOPA Opinion Leaders Blog. I hope you enjoy a bit of the back story of Jack Wiegand and his round the world achievement in a Mooney. http://blog.aopa.org/opinionleaders/?p=1485 Quote
Cruiser Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 thanks Jolie, it is always nice to hear about the human element. This makes me think that it might be nice to also hear about the plane. What did it have to endure on this trip? Mooney could do some marketing. ..... "Reliable and dependable..... anywhere in the world". Quote
mooneygirl Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Posted June 28, 2014 Cruiser/Tom: The airplane was purchased by Mooney International and flown to China. It has been used extensively in promotions over there. I believe that the only real mod was the long range fuel tanks. If I remember correctly Jack carried an extra battery as well. The plane performed without a hiccup. Mooney's speed, efficiency and safety features were what convinced Jack [and his family] to purchase the Ovation for the trip. When you think that his longest leg was over ELEVEN hours.... geez... For that Momma to trust that airplane to carry her young son. Wow. Quote
bonal Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 My wife and I went to the fly in at Columbia. We stopped by the ambassador tent but did not visit. If you have some photos please post them. Also my compliments on your very nice E. Quote
mooneygirl Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Posted June 29, 2014 Bonal: I am not sure if you can follow this link to Facebook, but here are the photos from Columbia https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.10152157221542006&type=1 Quote
carusoam Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Info not available..... The O is a nice choice for these kind of flights... Our O came from the factory with 100+ gallons and 2 batteries. If Jack added to that, that would be impressive... Just add FIKI w/ the second alternator.... Just my opinion, -a- Quote

bonal Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 My wife and I flew down the San Luis last week for our ECI inspection while Eric worked on the plane we wandered over to the restaurant for lunch and did have to be let back into the ramp area and I had to show them my PPL. We spent a bit of time looking around and were never approached by any one about what we were doing. I think its a good idea to have reasonable security and as long as you make arrangement you should be able to gain access. A few years back we flew to Santa Rosa for an AOPA seminar that was hosted by the jet center there. We made no reservations and were parked right near the hangar and enjoyed the gathering. A pilot friend drove down for the same event and since they had not made reservations were not permitted in even though he presented his PPL. My home field has zero security and occasionally we do get some break ins so I would not mind some security there. I think the big difference is if you fly in you belong in and I like that. Quote

mooneygirl Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Posted January 12, 2015 Please mark your calendars for the AOPA Regional events. The plan is to have at least one Mooney and an Ambassador booth at each one. http://blog.aopa.org/opinionleaders/?p=1974 Quote
carusoam Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Some (one) of us just learned where KFDK is... It's less than an hour away from NJ... Bring the big O and Mitch, and come on out to the east coast? Best regards, -a- Quote
mooneygirl Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 A--how about if I put you down for the point person....you could bring your mighty Ovation for display! Quote
carusoam Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 That's something we can talk about Jolie! I will need to check with some NJMPs for best support. Quote
Robert C. Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 Sadly it coincides with the KCHA MAPA PPP or I would have volunteered my O3 Robert Quote
