Mooney Hat Trick

[Yooper Rocketman]

We have 3 Mooney's based at my home airport (KIMT).  I had mine moved over to the Airlifeline hangar when my test pilot for my Lancair came up, as he wanted his plane in the same hangar as my Lancair (easy access to tools , etc.).  Since I am heading out to Florida tomorrow I needed my Mooney fueled and back in MY hangar.  When I went in the large hangar to move it out, I spotted a Mooney Hat Trick, all 3 locally based Mooney's were side by side in the hangar.

Mine feels lonely in a hangar full of Cessnas!

I'm loving the round windows

The E model in the far corner has almost every speed mod available on it.  He cruises at 155 knots on 8 - 8.5 gallons an hour.    Might be coming up for sale?  But then the drivers license medical might actually get another pilot active again.

Ironic, Yooper Rocketman. Ron Dubin, (Rocketman without the Yooper adjective) has 3 Mooneys all his own

For anyone looking in the C/E range, a modded E is the hotrod of the short bodies.

Tom,

I'm thinking with the amount of time my M20K spends at Kubick, I should be considered a part time resident. Absolutely loving the WAAS, ADSB and roll steer mod that Jeff did before he left for FL.
