lamont337 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Gents- I am in the process of moving from North Las Vegas (VGT) to Ann Arbor, MI (ARB). I have secured a hangar and was mostly wondering if we had anyone from the forum based there or nearby. I grew up nearby so I'm familiar with the area but always looking for other Mooney folk. I have a friend who instructs at several airports in the area and he suggested Solo Aviation for maintenance on the field. There is also an MSC to the north in Lapeer that I may use for my annual. Anyone have experience with either? Looking forward to doing a lot of flying around Michigan, especially up north. $100 hamburger suggestions welcome. Thanks! Quote
Andy95W Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 I'm just north of you by about 25 miles or so. A friend has a $100 hamburger document I can try to email you. I do my own annuals so I can't really help with that, but I have never anything bad about Lapeer. Quote
brownm Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Welcome to A2! I have the blue & white Mooney N435DB tied down in front of the terminal building. It's more than a $100 hamburger, but has anyone mentioned Mackinac island? Who have you used for maintenance so far? Edited October 1, 2015 by brownm Quote
rainman Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I visit South Lyon near Ann Arbor and park at Y47 several times per year. Check with the Mooney broker in Brighton for maintenance recommendations. I flew to Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Mackinaw Island this year.....all good summer stops. Ray Quote
Andy95W Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 I'm based at Y47. Hope to see you around sometime. I always have cold beer in my hangar! Quote
steingar Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Only sign of intelligence in Ann Arbor? Columbus, 180 miles Guess you know where I'm from. Quote

I fly regularly into KARB for medical flights out of the U.P. (KIMT). Solo has always treated us great. They give our mercy flight organization (Northwood's Airlifeline) a fuel price break. Maybe we can do lunch sometime when I get a flight down there. Sorry to say, most my flights in there are with the organizational owned Turbo Bonanza. I can still talk Mooney though.

Lunch option noted above goes to you as well. Tom Quote
