His son Jeff was the best man in my wedding. You got yourself a nice TLS Bravo. Can't wait to see what you do to the panel. Owned my E for 3 years 3 months. 320hrs. An instrument rating and commercial rating later... Mike I was out to visit Mike and the gang at MH Aviation yesterday, and was discussing panel upgrades with Mike. I have an idea of what I want to do, with Mike's Geronimo panel being my gold standard. Saving up my shekels... Quote

carusoam Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 Aaron, how many of those hours are after the OH? you are getting a great number of flying hours in over those six years. That is Mooney efficiency! Best regards, -a- Quote

63C Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 My Dad bought 6853U in 1978. I bought it from him in 2013 and it is still with me. Still enjoying the "ride". 1 Quote
N6758N Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 4 Years and around 400 hrs now in my 1968 M20C. Previously owned by a WWII Fighter pilot who flew mustangs in the war. Quote
rbridges Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 On 1/3/2017 at 10:59 PM, Bravoman said: I have an 82 fixed gear Saratoga ( pretty much a Cherokee six 300 with the tapered wing) and love it. Not as much fun to fly as the Mooney, but it is a workhorse with 1400+ pound useful load, i.e. Full fuel 107 total and about 850 lb payload. We use it anytime it is more than my wife and I. For our typical trip between Atlanta and St Augustine the time differential is only about 20 or so minutes. I've had my Mooney now for 3 years and 320 hrs You also need the Saratoga to bring deer back from twiggs county. Quote
mooniac15u Posted January 13, 2017 Report Posted January 13, 2017 1963 M20D 8 years. 1981 M20J 3 years. 900 hours between the two. Quote
