BigTex Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 Guys, Not sure if you've been participating in the AOPA's version of March Madness but our beloved Mooney has made it to the Elite Eight. So to move it into the Final Four, it needs our vote! http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/challenge/index.html 1 Quote
KSMooniac Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 And it is close! Go vote. Even if you like the B-17, it would be great to see the Mooney move on! Quote
EDNR-Cruiser Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 You guys are late but better late than never... It's still close so better go voting NOW!!!! Quote
DonMuncy Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 Gary, Keep us posted for the next voting. I seem to have fallen off their list for some reason. Quote
EDNR-Cruiser Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 Mooney vs. B-17 = 84 : 57... - now that looks better!! Keep voting! Quote
wishboneash Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Currently losing 177:233 to the B-17 Quote
Jeff_S Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Okay, I voted for the party line, but I have to say, it's hard to compare between a Mooney and the airplane that helped bring an end to German occupation in WWII. As much as I love the M20, I think the B-17 is a more historically significant aircraft. But I picked the Mooney anyway! 2 Quote
BigTex Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Posted March 27, 2015 Guys, the B17 guys are stuffing the ballot boxes.... we went for a nice lead to 100 down! Please vote! Quote
Shadrach Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 It'll never happen. Pitting GA aircraft against Warbirds will never be fair to the GA aircraft. The Spitfire will win the day... 2 Quote
M016576 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 This poll is rigged. I mean... Seriously? B-17 vs M20? The B-17 isn't anywhere near as efficient as the M20... And the number of takeoffs/landings is pretty bad for the B-17... Then again, mooney's haven't been shot at nearly as much.... And aren't quite as deadly to those on the ground! Both are American Icons, though!!!! Quote
bonal Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 The B17 is da bomb. Yes but the B29 dropped Da bomb Quote
