Cyril Gibb Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Anybody had Mooney experience with shops at/near Lloydminster? PM probably preferred for any pros/cons. Yes.... yet another pre-purchase.... Quote
Mooney1401 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Still shopping cyrill. Good luck and if and when you buy let me know. Or if you want someone to come out with you. Quote
FBCK Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 A little distance for you but I have been very happy with Foster Aviation in Springbank, I went though four shops before I found one I didn't think was trying to kill me. Quote
jezzie Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 We have a good AME that currently looks after approx 6 Mooneys in the Edmonton area that works out of Cooking Lake probably is the closest to Lloyd, I can check with him to see if they will travel to Lloyd Quote
SkyPilot Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 I don't know if you are considering a pre-buy on my bird, or one of the other ones. Border City Aviation (based in Lloyd) is doing my annual on the 3rd and 4th of February. Drop in if you are looking at the 1967 M20F. I just dropped the price $5000 on the controller. She's a nice bird. Paul K Quote
Cyril Gibb Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 I called Foster Air... they said that they wouldn't do a PPI on a Mooney as old as the one I'm considering (1975). Sounds like they have more expensive stuff to keep them busy. I'm going out to Alberta to do the PPI with Border City. The plane is at Lloydminster already. Quote
jezzie Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 I just talked with Gerry he said he would do a pre buy for you 3D Aircraft Services Hangar 51, Cooking Lake Airport 51401 - RR 221 Sherwood Park, AB T5E 1H1 W. 780 922-2842 Regards Gerry Boucher AME - Chris Jackson AME - Heiko Boychuk AME Quote

Austin can show it to you if I am not yet back in Canada. He has the key to the hanger. Quote
Cyril Gibb Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Posted January 25, 2014 I'll take a look if it doesn't work out. It's a long expensive way to go, so I might as well take advantage while I'm there. (Toronto to Edmonton and then a rental car to Lloyminster) Quote
SkyPilot Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 When will you arrive? I'm landing in Edmonton on the 31st in the evening then driving out to Lloydminster. I'm leaving on the 1st for Victoria (by pickup) but if you do decide to check it out, Austin can show you the bird. I'll be back in Lloyd again on the 5th or 6th. Paul K Quote
