aeromancfi Posted January 8, 2016 Report Posted January 8, 2016 1963 to 1966 I worked across the street from SJC airport at FMC Corporation on Coleman Ave. I was in a flying club with a Cessna 170B, and the Mooney operation was pretty busy. FMC had their own hanger next door to the Mooney outfit, and operated a Lockheed Lodestar for executive travel. There was also an active Mooney dealership at Hayward that had a small office and I recall an open-air shelter with a MOONEY sign on it next door. I doubt of either of them lasted beyond the early 1970's. I became a Mooney pilot with a 1964 M20C around 1975, flew it for 10 years and now have 1965 M20E I've been flying for 16 years.
