DISPEL ANOTHER MOONEY MYTH

[MooneyMitch]

Please feel free to show this photo to your non-believing friends that say a Mooney is too small for large people!

Jason is the line fuel person at Santa Ynez [IZA] airport and he is 6'6".  "No problem" he says, " I love Mooneys"!!

I had a 6' 8" passenger the other day. He had to run the seat to the last hole, but had plenty of head room.

Okay, Marauder.  You now have NO excuse for not taking your girl friends for a ride!

   (Now THAT's a picture I want to see!)

Well, the reference was to "large".  

 

[PTK]

And his "girls" have"large" fingers. Too large to push any of those tiny buttons on that wimpy 450a audio panel!

It would be awful to see something like this happening to Maurader's Mooney should one of the ladies try to fit inside.

I bet the owner isn't laughing.

At least the plane would float!

Why would you fly with a 8-10 man raft in a 4 place aircraft?  not that inflating a 4 man raft inside would be a good idea.

Life rafts rated by number of persons is a joke. Try putting 4 FAA adults into a "4 person" life raft. There simply isn't enough floor space for the rated number of humans for any reasonable length of time. Far better than just life jackets, but when we sail offshore we (my boat, and the boats I sail in) carry higher capacity life rafts than the number of crew. If you need a life raft, you need a raft big enough to survive until rescued.

Yes, but your boat is probably not weight limited.  I am very familiar with the size of life rafts from 1 man to 20 man.  Yes they are comfortable for only half the number but functional.  But survival is the goal not comfort.

I agree that life rafts (with water ballast units, survival kits, and canopies) are heavy, even when valise packed), but aviation life rafts are generally single tubed, and without inflatable floors. For two persons, a four person "survival" life raft, with canopy, can be under 25 pounds, and that is worthwhile. The two person variant is about 16 pounds, and would be far less "comfortable" for two persons.

This is what happens when pulling the raft out by the inflation cord. Make sure to always use the carrying handle. Have a knife  accessible to deflate the raft in an emergency.

It was repaired on yours and my dime.

He was a USCG pilot that was moving rafts that belong to UH-60s from base to base due to faulty firing bottles. Ironically, the bottle in this one accidentally fired on the ground, but the aircraft was repaired.

Hey who needs a life raft when you are Marauder and your girl friend floats like a Beluga whale!

I've looked at my fair share of porn but I can honestly say I'm not sure what anatomical pieces I'm looking at here.

[Hank]

WOULD EVERYONE PLEASE QUIT REPOSTING THE #%€£$&@ PICTURE!!!

Once was more than enough (in more ways than one), thank you.

[Andy95W]

Uh oh, Hank.  I think I see what's coming.
