MyNameIsNobody Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Yup, if you remove the Tampon they bleed Mooney..or money, I can never remember... Quote
Mooneymite Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 She said the words I love to hear: "Honey, did you put the gear down?" Quote
bonal Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Best words a pilot could ever hope to hear from there better half "Honey we need a faster plane" that's what my wife said to me that's why we fly Mooney 3 Quote

MyNameIsNobody Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 I do get your humor ... But some would think it inappropriate. Good thing you're not running for office! Alex started it mom... 1 Quote
chrisk Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Best words a pilot could ever hope to hear from there better half "Honey we need a faster plane" that's what my wife said to me that's why we fly Mooney +1 My wife was not a big fan of the 0-300 powered 1965 Cessna 172 that I previously owned. It was a 100kt plane and climb performance was anemic on 100 degree summer days. She feels like the Mooney is a real plane. 1 Quote
Hank Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 +1 My wife was not a big fan of the 0-300 powered 1965 Cessna 172 that I previously owned. It was a 100kt plane and climb performance was anemic on 100 degree summer days. She feels like the Mooney is a real plane. My wife has commented on several occasions that she was glad that we were not in a Cessna. One time was crossing the mountains westbound towards Knoxville at 10,000 msl, dodging cloud tops at 32ºF OAT; headwinds had us down to 68 knot groundspeed. She knows Cessna speeds [or is it "slows"?] but has never experienced high DA climb attempts in one [thankfully!] Quote
Brandontwalker Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 I had a 172 before as well and my wife made the exact same comment after flying in the Mooney the first time. She feels like it is a real plane. It also helps that she doesn't feel queasy in the Mooney as she did in the 172. Quote
63C Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 My wife and I were tooling around in a Cessna 140 with the original C-85. She had to take Dramamine to ride. Finally quit riding with me all together. Same comment from her...she absolutely loves our old 63C and no more Dramamine! Quote

Amelia Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 Rob's wife has been very happy since he bought the Mooney. She likes going fast, climbing quickly over the build ups, and the smooth landings. He finds it as easy to sleep in the Mooney as he did in her old 172. 1 Quote

She feels like it is a real plane. It also helps that she doesn't feel queasy in the Mooney as she did in the 172. After getting my PPL in my 150 (the perfect plane for the mission) my wife and I did a lot of flying in it and she was very uncomfortable with turbulence not so in our Mooney Quote
