Description:

Ron Blum is an aeronautical engineer, and Chief Engineer for Mooney Aircraft, in Chino, California. His program title is “It’s all about De-Tail”.

Come enjoy a fun, interactive but educational talk learning about what else? Fast airplanes! Did Al Mooney act alone? Did Mooney actually make a fully composite airplane in the late 1940s? Did Mooney design a 300 knot turboprop airplane that went into production? What is Mooney doing in southern California? And the ever-asked question, “Why does Mooney put their tails on backwards?”

Ideas that worked and those that didn't.   The more we learn the safer we can be.

Post a video for the East Coasters!

Let Ron know we admire his work.  

Best regards,

I'm actually heading out to San Diego tomorrow for OTL, so two weeks in a row is not going to work...

Do you think Ron would allow a video of his presentation? I've met him a few times, and he is a very interesting and knowledgeable guy. I'm sure that those who attend will learn quite a lot, and it would be great if more of us could share in his presentation.

First time in many years I've actually missed living in San Diego.  That's OK, if I lived in San Diego I wouldn't be a pilot.  Actually, I'd probably be dead from commuting on my motorcycle.

I very much wish there would be an east coast availability of that presentation.

You and the rest of Phoenix:) The fun part about flying over is you get to see all your neighbors backed up in their cars at the Pine Valley border check point on I-8. Are you on a team for OTL or just spectating?

Just hanging out in a friends motor home and enjoying the view.

beautiful flight into KSEE, SoCal didn't even give me the tour of the area, straight into the LOC. The sun was brutal...
