Joe Larussa Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 I have been flying for roughly 15 years. Only in the last six months Iv'e been a Mooney owner. I'm In Hawaii on vacation and all I can think about is flying my plane. I think I'm losing it!! 6
rbridges Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 The first year having my PPL, I was excited to fly anything. After a while, I wanted something different. The mooney definitely hit the spot. 1

DAVIDWH Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Sand, ocean waves,palm trees and hulu dancing. Yea, I can see how one could get bored pretty fast. 1
C-GHIJ Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 It's snowing here, I feel for you.......not
1964-M20E Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Relax this is a perfectly normal reaction to buying a new airplane like getting a new girlfriend or toy for Christmas. The only difference is you will get bored with the toy or girlfriend faster than you will with the pane. 2
triple8s Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Planes, bikinis, tobacco, alcoholism, drugs, gambling, all the same
pinerunner Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Its easy to agree with you. I got my old M20E because I had read about Mooney's efficiency. I wasn't disappointed. The other thing I like to do with airplanes is bush flying and for that I'd like a C-180 but those are much more expensive and if I did that I might as well build a camp off in some isolated place so even more expensive, both in time and money. Perhaps some kind of time-share that would include a hunting-fishing camp in some secluded place and a cessna 180 on floats would be the ticket. For airport flying and getting my instrument rating though its Mooney 100%. I like being able to go fast or slow down and burn less per mile than a 150.

Browncbr1 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 It's a sickness and the only medication is 100LL. 2
Guitarmaster Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 Yep. Sounds like you have been infected! You should know, there is no known cure. You can occasionally ease the symptoms by judicious application of 100LL. A word of warning... don't give her a name or all your money will disappear! I, myself, was warned too late. Congrats on the new mistress! 1

N601RX Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 Check out the flying over there. There used to be a nice glider operation on the north shore of Oahu.

I really don't think she has seen "down there" in years. Who knows what is going on down there. The last guy who attempted to find out has not been seen since. BTW - what you are looking at is the love child of Mama Cass and Jabba the Hutt. Edited January 1, 2016 by Marauder 1
