Took an AOPA quiz today that purported to "tell you what the best airplane to buy for you" was, based on about a dozen questions. Fun quiz. I answered honestly.

and the winner is: MOONEY 201

I fly an E the "poor mans 201" Still love my plane. I guess it was destiny that we connect. Try to locate the quiz. Have fun.

WHEW! What a relief I am still in the Mooney even though it's not a 201 that I own. As typical the questions have very limited answers. For Me Aviation movie would be Jet Pilot. I used to own a Ninja now I'm on a Yamaha FZ1 choice of Military aviation F16 or A10 Favorite Pilot in history Chuck Yeager or any one that flew SR71"s I was worried I might have to buy a Bonanza.

Some of those questions were downright impossible to answer, but I tried to be very honest based on my feelings today.  The quiz came back and said I should be in a G36 Bonanza. Perhaps because I wanted to fly in Today's era rather than in the 80s, and I wanted to drive the Ferrari rather than the Porsche.

My quiz came back and said I should be in a Mooney 201.  And after a bit of playing with the quiz, I think they got at least one Mooney owner trait correct.  For question #10, the one about the $50 bottle of wine.   Being a cheap Mooney pilot, I would never pay $50 for a bottle of wine.  Apparently, if I would pay $50 for a bottle of wine, I should be flying a Bonanza. ;)

Good fun, ended up with the 201 as well.  I went back and tried different answers to get a feel for the differentiators, and the $50 bottle of wine bottle is what move one to the Beech camp....  Funny fact is that we have a good friend who has a very fast Bonanza and he brings a $50 bottle every time he visits…

Thanks guys! What a great quiz. http://www.aopa.org/apps/quizzes/

 

I tried to imagine the stereotypical Mooney pilot and plugged in those answers.....the quiz is spot-on!

 

Found a way to answer with a little bit of Friday humor! This combo seriously leads to a Mooney!

 

Have a good laugh :D

 

The "Mooney Pilot" - God help us all! 

 

 

1.I wanna fly before 1980! Gas is too expensive now even LOP!

 

2. My favorite aviator: Lindbergh- Of course the one who flew the furthest on the least gas!

 

3. My favorite aviation movie is: The magic of flight - The one that doesn't involve combat and mostly keeps the wings level!

 

4. Will buy a new car, but......the last new one I bought was nearly 20yrs ago!

 

5. The car I'd most like to drive is a: Porsche - speed and efficiency. Little engines can do big things too!

 

6. The motorcycle I'd most like to ride is a: VESPA! (smallest engine of course!)

 

7. I love rollercoasters! NO - remeber keep the wings level damn it!

 

8. I bought my first smartphone in: I STILL DON'T OWN ONE!

 

9. An airframe parachute is: Nice, but not necessary

 

10. I'm willing to pay over $50 for a fine bottle of wine because I can taste the difference and the better product is worth it. - HELL NO!

 

11. My dream aviation trip would take me - Distant Island - I enjoy the long range flight (lean of peak) and I have been known to be socially awkard at times. Hiking is too much work. Sports involves too many people and too much excitement.

 

12. I prefer driving a car with: Automatic - they invented those things for a reason. Let's keep this simple please.

 

13. Reducing my carbon footprint is: If you don't make me work at it I'll do it. I consider flying LOP to be my contribution to reducing my emissions.

 

14. If I were a U.S. military pilot, the airplane I'd most like to fly is a: Ok, an F/A-18, I have a bit of an edge, but let's not get too exicted about this. C-17 is just too big, remember I prefer the Vespa over the Harley!

 

 

AND THE ANSWER IS..... MOONEY 201. Congrats YOU ARE A MOONEY PILOT!

 

Now crack open those hangars doors and go fly 'em!

 

 

Note: I put in my own answers and got a P-51, great, but I'll never be able to afford to own one. So cheers to the Mooney!

 

Blue Skies!

I'm dissapointed...

That must be rigged...

I wanted fastest, American, factory built, N/A, four seat, single

I specifically answered that being concerned about my carbon foot print (while flying) was wholly and completely un-American.

They still gave me the Mooney 201.

I was hoping for an O3, a Screamin Eagle, or at least a Missile.

How efficient is an F18 flown by Maverick anyway?

Did any of you guys tap the Prius button?

Best regards,

Not to be picky but Maveick flew the F-14.  :)

I first answered honestly and it said I should get a 201.

 

Then, I answered all the questions by picking the answer I most disagreed with. It said I should get an Aviat Husky. I guess if I ever see a pilot flying one of them, I should stay away because our personalities would conflict too much.  I wonder how many different planes the quiz has to chose from!
