Bump

Anyone planning on attending?

Sounds interesting! Next weekend, too. I'd gotten an invitation to the FAA seminars, didn't realize it was a big to-do. May have to bring the wife and spend the day.

It was a great weekend!  Weather was perfect.

The highlight for me was attending a seminar put on by CarrolAnn Garratt.  She has now flown her M20J around the world 3 times and owns the C class world speed record for her 2nd trip.  She has undertaken these flights to raise money for ALS research after her mom passed from the disease. This lady knows her Mooney, she received FAA approval to operate 15% over gross and was capable of 24 hours of endurance.  She has three books covering her flights "On Silver Wings, II, III."
