rakesb Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 Dear Mooney Teammates: It's annual inspection time for my 1966 Mooney M20C Mark 21 (3261) based at Fort Leonard, MO ( KTBN). Can anyone recommend a good, Mooney knowledgeable shop in Missouri; southern, IL; western KY; northwestern Tennessee; northern Arkansas; northeastern Oklahoma; or, eastern Kansas (basically, anywhere in the circle from Kansas City, MO to Springfield, IL to Paducah, KY to Memphis, TN to Little Rock, AR to Tulsa, OK to Topeka, KS? Alternatively, can anyone comment publicly or privately on experience with Lake Charles Flying Service at Lake Charles, MO (KSET), Lake Aviation Center at Camdenton, MO (H21), or the shop at Higginsville, MO (KHIG)? It was sure great seeing many of you at Oshkosh. My head was spinning for the first few days from sensory overload. Kim gave me the trip for our 30th wedding anniversary. We camped next to our Mooney abeam the numbers on runway 36 for the full immersion experience. Oshkosh did NOT disappoint! Hope to see many more of you there next year. Very Sincerely, Bobby (N6094Q) 573.337.3447 Quote
TWinter Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 Dyersburg Avionics (actually located in Caruthersville MO) or Jewell Aviation (Kennett, MO)..Both are good. Caruthersville as done my last two annuals and most of my upgrades. Neither are Mooney Service Centers, but both very capable with Mooney. Quote
Hank Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 There's an MSC in southern IL--maybe Flora? Midwest Mooney is the name I just remembered. No experience, but they may be inside your preferred range. Quote
Rwsavory Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 Jewell in Kennett, MO has done our last two annuals, and they have a long history working on my partner's previous Mooney. Very nice folks there. Quote
gsxrpilot Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 You're only 2.5 hours in the M20C from Maxwell's at KGGG possibly the best Mooney shop in the country. 1 Quote
