After you get that twin she is going to ask for a lavatory and air conditioning. And then a copilot.

And then a pilot so you can sit in the back with her . . .

If mama aint happy, nobody is happy. Do your thing. Good luck with the sale.  If you need someone to fly the plane for you, instead of it sitting around, I'm here for you.

I especially liked that line. I have a friend who says she won't fly because of the security lines, and she is not alone. Why would anybody in their right mind not take a nice trip because of the inconvenience of a 10 or 20 minute line. I'll take it even further - one hour. Are there really people out there that won't take a two week vacation (336 hours) because of a one hour line? That's like saying they won't do any Christmas shopping because the lines are too long, and you know that ain't true.

You should try Disney, they have the real lines. At least 1 hour in line for a 3 minute ride. Last time I told my grand niece: "the best ride is the ride home"

Outstanding example. Now how many people won't go to Orlando because they hate to have to wait on a 15 minute TSA line?

It's not the 20 minute line.  It's the 5 minute to 1.5 hour line that makes you get to the airport early.  It's the rules about the things you can't take that are made up the day you are in line. It's about the airlines monetizing everything.  --pretty soon, they will charge $25 more for other than middle seats.  I avoid flying commercial when ever I can.  Most places, under 1000 miles, the Mooney can get me there just as fast and on my schedule.    --That said, my next trip is Dallas Tx to Madrid Spain.  I'm  more than happy to fly commercial.

 

P.S.   I'd love to pick up this Eagle.  I just need a super sale!

 

[slowflyin]

It's not the lines- it's my health.  Dang if I don't pick up a bug more times than not when I fly commercial.

155,00 is a super sale. This is a nice plane

[gsxrpilot]

I almost made an offer on this Eagle. If you're interested in an Eagle, or an Ovation but can't spend the $200K, this is a great bird. In the end I decided I had to have a turbo and bought a 252.

One of the funniest Mooney pilot/wife,GF conversations I have ever read!....my 2 cents..before you sell the Eagle,wait 6 months and you will see how much the new GF begins to resemble the EX

[Flymu2]

Price reduction to 150K for my Mooney friends. Not yet changed on TAP or other sales sites.

BTW, flew it to Easton MD last weekend for formation training. A real hoot for those who are thinking about it.

More serious now. I made an offer on another plane. Price lowered to 155K. I will entertain offers.

What was the end result? Did you sell? Did you buy?

[Flymu2]

I bought another plane. The Mooney is still for sale

[dlthig]

You have two planes and I have two houses. Wanna live in CHS?

 

[Flymu2]

Love to. I have friends there. Problem is my girlfriend has a fulltime job in NYC that she can't take anywhere else. I know, ditch the girlfriend. It's not that easy.

Tough. I feel for you.

 

 

[Raptor05121]

What did you get?

[Flymu2]

SR22.

I like the Mooney better, mainly for the efficiency. The SR22 is more comfortable, has the G1000, and of course the parachute (which is what sold my girlfriend). But, I'm a bang for the buck kind of guy (like most Mooney owners), and there's nothing better in this category of plane for that than the Mooney. Oh well, life is a series of compromises.

[Jerry 5TJ]

My wife likes the Mooney for our travel but wants a plane with bigger door, easier entry/exit and able to haul more rescue dogs and cats. She liked our Piper Mirage for those features.  

The quest for the Holy Grail -- the ideal airplane -- continues.

Lemme see, you have 2 planes and a girlfriend.  Not seeing where you're having to compromise.  

[eman1200]

because he wanted to have 2 girlfriends and a plane.

[Flymu2]

One girlfriend and one plane are more than enough.
