Geoff Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Just returned from Longview with new paint by Aerosmith Aviation. Scheme was done by Scheme Designers and is a combination of the 2009 Acclaim and the 2009 Piper Mirage tail. Very professionally done and great customer service. 17 Quote

flyboy0681 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Does anybody know why Mooney reserved registration numbers in the early 80's which started with "11"? My '83 J is 1161Z. Quote
ArtVandelay Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Does anybody know why Mooney reserved registration numbers in the early 80's which started with "11"? My '83 J is 1161Z. Probably just blocks of numbers available, there is a lot of 43xxx tail numbers before that. Quote
carusoam Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Love in an elevator? -Aerosmith...... In 65, Mooney tail numbers ended with a Q... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
Txbyker Posted April 25, 2016 Report Posted April 25, 2016 Pictures don't do this justice. I saw it up close and the metallic grey is really nice. Geoff, hope you had a good trip back to the hangar. Russ Quote
kevinw Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 Looks great. Silver seems to be the new white. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

jetdriven Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 Can you share the price and the time to get the work done? 2 Quote
Shrobby Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Congrats Geoff. My Mooney 231 is there getting started.I had a chance to see your plane and it looks beautiful. Oh and thanks to you I just switched my wingtip lights to the Whelen 650 LEDs you have. So far I have been very pleased with Aerosmith Aviation. Dustin is a great guy and They are actually excited to take on my interior as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Shrobby Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Longview in my opinion is the place to go. Don Maxwell for my new annual and windshield. And a taxi over to get a new interior with a new paint job. Gotta love it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Geoff Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Posted April 29, 2016 Shrobby - Happy to help spend your $! The LED's are a great upgrade. I use my lights (including landing/taxi) much more for enhanced safety. The 231 is a little challenged in the electrical department and the LEDs cut the load. Especially if you are running heated pitot and prop on a cold and dark night! Keep the community updated on your plane when you are done. Quote
Shrobby Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Thanks Geoff. I will.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Bob_Belville Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 I too would be interested in what the current cost of a quality paint job is. A PM is fine if you'd rather not share publicly... Quote

ZamF16 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 I am about to take my Mooney into Aerosmith for paint and interior. They said they cannot paint the bottom antennas which are currently white (transitioning belly to metallic blue). It appears your belly antennas are painted. If so, how did you manage painting them?

jetdriven Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 This is a 2 year old Tejas job. Judge for yourself. 1 Quote
