Bug Smasher Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 After 400hrs of smashing bugs in brand C, I finally bought a 201! I spent a great deal of time here reading various threads during my decision process. So thank you! My name is Andy Chambers and I'm based at KSTS (Santa Rosa, CA). As far as my wife knows, this is the second happiest day of my life! 29 Quote

kelty Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Congrats! I just got mine about a month ago. I'm not far down the road at HJO. Kelty 1 Quote
Bennett Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Congratulations. If you plan to fly down to San Carlos, jet me know and I'll be happy to buy you breakfast or lunch. We have a few Mooneys at KSQL, and some are members of MS. 2 Quote
AaronDC8402 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Congrats on the purchase. How do you like flying it? That was a plane we spent some time thinking about when we bought our 201 recently. I remember it had a really nice interior and had a nice panel. Ultimately, the distance to California stopped us from pursuing it as an option. Quote
jonhop Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Congrats! Picked mine up in January and it has been a blast to fly. Now you just need a way to shield your wife from witnessing the expenditures... Quote
Stetson20 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 So you're the quick draw! I called the broker to ask some questions, and he said it had already been purchased. Congratulations! Quote

Seth Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Great news and congratulations! Now go fly! -Seth Quote
manoflamancha Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Congrats on your new J, Andy! Lovely plane quite a showstopper. I love the 201J and was initially looking at one but since I fly a lot to high density airports, wanted turbo in spite of higher cost. If you ever come down to San Diego, I'd be happy to grab lunch at MYF. We have a lot of good places to eat on the field and its a short flight in your new J from STS. I actually did my PPL checkride up there with Benedict at STS before he retired. Nice area. Once I have my new Mooney, I plan to fly up there to go wine tasting and visit friends up north.
