Way to go Brett! You gotta change the topic of the thread. Brett has been shunned and excommunicated from the Mooney community. How dare he show up to a Mooney fly-in in a Baron! He is now a "high priced parts and fuel sucker" relegated to Beechtalk. Traitor. 1 Quote
jetdriven Posted November 15, 2016 Report Posted November 15, 2016 He sold that baron, I hear to cost more to own than his house. Quote
carusoam Posted November 15, 2016 Report Posted November 15, 2016 Checklist... 1) heart 2) brain 3) courage Brett clearly has all that, in a big way... What Brett needs is more speed and efficiency. Go Acclaim, Brett! Need help with the search..? http://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/list/?manu=MOONEY&mdltxt=ACCLAIM+TYPE+S There is even one with paint that Peter could appreciate... Best regards, -a- Quote

Admittedly, he spared no expense and just wrote checks, enjoying the full concierge general aviation experience, but still. He also sold the B55 and is no longer flying at all, for what it is worth. WOW !!! Quote
