Australia's newest, and proudest Mooney owner!

[MQQNEY]

Hi to all from Sydney Australia! I've just achieved my long time dream of becoming a Mooney owner, after purchasing FRO, a 1964 Charlie model. Looking forward to many hours of great flying in it

Welcome! I have always wondered how they got these planes over there. Ferry tanks across the Pacific?

Good daay mate, my son in law is from Sydney, he's been in the states for 11 yrs or so, goes back to Sydney every December for a month.

Welcome aboard MQQNEY,

Saw the pictures you sort of posted yesterday!

Was wondering if you were going to post out loud.

Best regards,

-a-

Thanks,  yeah I'm a bit web-illiterate, but I'll get the hang of it!

nice one..

[MQQNEY]

As expected, after a very short time I am greatly enamoured with my M20C, it's everything that I expected, and some. 

[Mooneymite]

Congratulations!  I love my C and it has never failed me in 18 years.

Thank you, it feels great to be a part of what seems to be a real fraternity, and yes, like all mooneys, she's a joy to behold! She'll look even better with a lick of paint, but that's for later when I recover financially from the purchase!

Did you by chance attend one of the Mooney forums I put on in Albury or Rocky (Rockhampton) last summer sponsored by the

Australian Mooney Pilots Association? 

If you haven't contacted them I suggest you do as they are great bunch of folks and have lots of info and flyins to share.

Cs are probably the best bang for the buck in Mooneys IMO  :-)  Js predominate in AU but there are a good number of Cs also.
