You will no doubt recognize this gorgeous 201 as belonging to MooneySpace member Brett Nicolette of Latrobe, PA. I am proud to assist Brett in the sale of his aircraft so he can move closer to his objective of purchasing a de-iced machine for his weekly commutes across PA and family travel across the Eastern Seaboard.

My objective with this thread is to expound on the data presented in Brett's previous listing, and to share several high resolution photos of the aircraft so you can gain a better idea of its condition.

Last week I flew to Latrobe to meet Brett, learn more about his 201 prior to listing it, and photograph the aircraft. I was immediately struck by the immaculate condition of '62G and the spotless hangar in which it lives. The pride Brett takes in ownership is exceptional, and is reflected in preventive maintenance records & invoices, savvy upgrades for IFR redundancy, and the stunning airplane itself. Brett is a straightforward and genuine guy; the next owner will benefit from his fastidious approach to ownership and preventive maintenance.

This crowd is extremely familiar with J model performance so I'll be brief. '62G is representative of a well-rigged 201, and runs smoothly at 30 LOP, truing 157 KTAS at 9.5 gph. Go-fast mode is 162 KTAS ROP at 11.6 gph, bankable. CHTs are cool with new Gee Bee baffling and well-tuned GAMIs, as monitored by the color JPI 830 with fuel flow & computer.

I was impressed by Brett's investments in redundancy for safe IFR travel. Aside from the JPI, '62G sports an electric standby attitude indicator, a standby vacuum system, two GPS backups for positional SA, XM weather, and recently overhauled AI, HSI, and vacuum pump. '62G has enjoyed careful preventive maintenance prior to Brett's ownership, as evidenced by yearly CorrosionX treatments and almost exclusive work by Mooney Service Centers. Fourteen years ago, '62G encountered a gear-up landing by a previous owner in 1999; repairs were made by a Mooney Service Center, the engine was overhauled, and a new McCauley propeller was installed. Physical inspection reveals no visible evidence of prior damage.

N1162G is flown weekly by an veteran professional pilot. The Reiff engine preheater is handy for Winter, and compressions are strong.

Looks like a great airplane.  Anyone in the market for a J should have this one near the top of their list.

Hey Brett, First time posting here. I am also a professional pilot and live on the east side of PIttsburgh. I have been looking to find a partnership, but your and mike's mooneys makes me want to explore sole ownership again. I was curious what the hangar availability is currently @ KLBE? (sorry for the slight thread drift!)

Well 62G is starting her journey out to Utah tomorrow.  I get to fly it one last time tomorrow morning to pick up Nick from Pittsburgh Airport.  Went out today to fly it for a bit after the shop installed a new muffler, new brakes and fixed a tiny oil leak.  It was quite depressing knowing that my time with her has come to an end.  It's funny how these machines become such a big part of our lives.

Funny how a nice Baron makes those feelings go away real quick. Just keep the flap over the self-serve fuel pump screen when you fill it. You don't want to know. ;)
