Hey guys as many of you who have followed my recent posts know I've been searching for a mooney. Well I have found it and my dad has just signed the contract and put he deposit down! I'm so excited and I've loved this plane ever since I saw it and I even don't mind the color! Lemme know what you guys think??

I like that panel much better than some of the others. Nice airframe and engine times. Just get a good PPI. Even the nicest planes can have hidden issues. That 430w is screaming at you to get your instrument rating! Enjoy the plane.

Congrats! That looks like it will get the job done, and should work well for Instrument and Commercial training if you choose that route.

I have a 1967 E with the same color. Love it.

Is your dad adopting? 

 

Nice looking airplane. I've got a '67 and could not be happier with it. Does yours have any sort of autopilot / wing leveler? Make sure you get good transition training; I recommend you go with Bruce Jaeger; he's reasonable and very knowledgable about Mooneys. 

 

The retired 747 captain that I bought my Mooney from gave me a very good piece of advice: "If there's ever any doubt, don't go." Or, as my primary flight instructor gave an example, "you can have a smokin' hot blonde and brunette ready to go...I mean READY TO GO, and the weather isn't good for it and you have to say it's a 'no go.'"

Congratulations!  When your Dad gets old, be sure and remember this day. You owe him [at least] one.

Don't paint it, just polish it. Love that retro paint scheme.  Congrats on the new plane. If I'm not mistaken, you're in Austin, right? We should get together for a $100 hamburger. There's a good Mooney community here when you're home from school.
