1964-M20E Posted October 17, 2013 Report Posted October 17, 2013 KARL OFFENBACHER LLC Does anyone know this gentleman? Currently his Mooney is at KNEW awaiting some repairs. I would like to talk to him about the shop if at all possible.
John Pleisse Posted October 17, 2013 Report Posted October 17, 2013 Is it a 252? There is an Offenbacher in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Not sure if it is a Karl. He had a Mooney 252 for years, based GAI. He owns a Pool and Patio Furniture sales and manufacturing company in the DC area. Not sure if this your guy. But how many Offenbachers own a Mooney? Good Luck.
1964-M20E Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Posted October 17, 2013 THX The LLC is based in FL so I'm not sure. I was at KNEW yesterday with my MX and she was discussing his plane which is at another shop. Just some talk about why his plane is there for maintenance and the shop he is at.
1964-M20E Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Posted October 17, 2013 The plane is a M20TN shows a 2008 mfg date. Was Mooney selling planes then? turbo normalized TSIO-550G
John Pleisse Posted October 17, 2013 Report Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah John..... I think this is him. He likely upgraded from an earlier Mooney to an Acclaim. In the mid 90's he used to base a 252 at KGAI. Heck of a nice guy. http://www.corporationwiki.com/Maryland/Potomac/karl-offenbacher-llc/107597328.aspx
1964-M20E Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Posted October 17, 2013 THX I found a phone number for him on the internet do you have any contact infor for him? Please PM to me if you do.
mike_elliott Posted October 17, 2013 Report Posted October 17, 2013 John, let me ask one of my acclaim students who has a place at spruce creek also if he knows Karl and how to get in touch..Ill see if he knows him.
Seth Posted October 17, 2013 Report Posted October 17, 2013 There is an Acclaim based at GAI now - I see it fly every now and then around the pattern. Maybe it's him. -Seth
XXX Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 John, Old post I know, but I met Karl today at KDAB. He is a great guy. Invited him to Mooney Summit. Did you ever get to talk to him?
carusoam Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 It is a blast meeting Mooney pilots! Best regards, -a-
