MooneyMitch Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 Wishing you all the happy spirit of Christmas, or Hanukkah, or other religion of your choice. Wish you a Happy New Year coming fast [fast like a Mooney!] too. We will be traveling to Sutter Creek over the holidays. Also to the Anaheim area for a New Years celebration. Anyone else have plans for Mooney traveling during these times? Quote
jax88 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 Off to Vegas over the holidays, possibly a short trip over to the Houston area as well. Be safe. Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 Unfortunately nothing right now, other than giving some IFR instruction in my student's M20J. But it could involve test flying a couple planes. Looking at M20K, M20R, M20S, A36, and 8GC/KC right about now. Needless to say, most of it is a debate between the following: IO-550, TSIO-360, AEIO-360 Quote
AlexR Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 Heading to the Bahamas in 75V for Christmas and New Years, if the weather cooperates. Merry Christmas! Quote
carusoam Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 Parker, Go IO-550G until the time you can go TSIO-550... M20R vs. M20TN.......(go big, until you can go bigger.....) M20R = 20gph on take-off, <16gph ROP, somewhere near 11gph LOP. Alex, Send picture, that's a trip I would like to take (Rgaines has some nice photos (carribean and bahamas) in his album - rip, RG).

Jeff_S Posted December 21, 2010 Report Posted December 21, 2010 No plans to fly on Christmas, but scheduled to do an Angel Flight on the 28th if the weather holds out. Quote
fantom Posted December 21, 2010 Report Posted December 21, 2010 Parker....my two cents is a TSIO-360, as in a real Encore, not some old K with an Encore conversion. Current prices a compelling for buyers, not so much for sellers. Quote
thinwing Posted December 21, 2010 Report Posted December 21, 2010 Like a frozen duck tired of winter,south to paso robles ,a couple days in Vegas for a concert gigg,Mulege/Alamos mexico for new years.....happy holidays everyone!!!!....kpc Quote

We're also headed to the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2 [Go DUCKS!] and flying with new cylinders in Maggie!! Merry to all of you and a great 2012 coming up!! Quote

Parker_Woodruff Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 I'm just hoping to get my Mooney out of Don Maxwell's shop on Monday and fly it to Florida. Quote

eldeano Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Just my usual annual trip around the world tonight. Probably make about 3.4 billion stops. Lots of short take off and landings, not to mention extreme IFR conditions. Quote

MooneyMitch Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Posted December 24, 2011 Come on you guys, this is a happy Christmas thread, not a 172 bashing contest!! Even though they are simply a garden variety airplane at best!!! Quote

PTK Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year 2012 to all my fellow Mooney alumni and to your families!
