Sven Posted November 12, 2016 Report Posted November 12, 2016 We talk about our different Mooney models but I had an experience with Mooney modeling. A few weeks ago a friend who works for a clothing company asked if she could use our plane in a modeling shoot. Why not? You usually see models next to private jets, why not a 53-year-old Mooney? A professional photographer, wardrobe and makeup artist and a professional model all showed up at the airport and we headed to my hangar. Unfortunately the manager, my friend, had to stay in her car outside the gate because my AOA badge only allows me to escort four other humans. The photo shoot took about a couple hours and the sun was blazing. She was modeling winter clothing. Her pointy heels kept sticking in the new crack sealant just put down on the ramp. They took a couple hundred pictures and ended up putting a few of them online and in their catalog. That's not something you see every day so I thought I'd share it with you.

If you scroll down you can see more pictures. -Sven Mooney Model 1.tiff Mooney Model 2.tiff Mooney Model 3.tiff Mooney Model 4.tiff Mooney Model 5.tiff Mooney Model 6.tiff 16
carusoam Posted November 12, 2016 Report Posted November 12, 2016 Fabulous! Mooneys are all about speed, efficiency, safety, and now include fashion! The web catalog with the close-up views wherever you point your finger is pretty interesting. You did a nice job cleaning, detailing, and getting your girl dressed up for the part. She may be over 50 with rigid legs, but she's still beautiful to me! My wife asked if the model was going to get on the wing with those heals? Go Mooney! -a-
Danb Posted November 12, 2016 Report Posted November 12, 2016 That is to cool, and quite classy. BTW nice Mooney
Hank Posted November 12, 2016 Report Posted November 12, 2016 That must have been a unique experience! And you even received credit for your plane. Wish my plane was ever that clean, shiny and photo-ready. You,sir, put in some work getting ready!! 2
Andy95W Posted November 12, 2016 Report Posted November 12, 2016 Next time, suggest they do some shots of her in a bikini...
NotarPilot Posted November 14, 2016 Report Posted November 14, 2016 Those are terrific pictures. I agree with the other comment that they look classy. Oh, and your plane looks good too.
Yetti Posted November 14, 2016 Report Posted November 14, 2016 Lest someone have issues with you objectifying Mooney airplanes....

There are three left--this beautiful one, and two others. The rest were converted to retract, scrapped or abandoned . . .
jetdriven Posted November 15, 2016 Report Posted November 15, 2016 Is there a plane in any of those photos? 1

thinwing Posted November 18, 2016 Report Posted November 18, 2016 I'm surprised they staged the shots with the Hanger in the background rather than ask you to taxi over to Kaiser ...
