Unreal KRKP in the eye thoughts and prayers to all The eye took almost 2-1/2 hours to go over Rockport - that must have been eerie going through the violent front end of it, then 2-1/2 hours of calm, knowing that it's coming back with a vengeance.

Hank Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 How safe is your parking spot on all of that alkali sand? I prefer to park where I don't need to tape up the plane to keep it from being damaged. What are you doing for the gear? Lots of joints and moving parts there. To say nothing of all of the various air intakes for the cabin. Have fun anyway! At least you are now dry . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRM Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Here was this morning: So I got cabin fever and decided to drive down and check out the airport (KBPT). Stopped in the hangar to see just a bit of water, but no Mooney. The Mistress is in <wait for it> Houston! Had a text from my IA, she is high and dry <whew>. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinwing Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) My hanger neighbor goes every year.He keeps a pop up camper and bicycles just for burning man.They are in storage in the corner of hanger when not in use.All steel parts are corroded and rusty from their week once a year on the playa.Landing gear parts,brakes and any vent openings fair no better.Using the Bruce custom cover is worst than no cover...the fine dust gets blown inside ,with the wind slapping against the plexiglass...he finally stopped going even though he loves checking out all the T andA Edited August 29, 2017 by thinwing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water only came up to the front jack and not anywhere on the plane or the things in my hanger. That last big flood came up much higher. I think we are in the clear here in Houston now at David Wayne Hooks as the forecast calls for more clearing. The water seems to be receding around the airport.

I've seen a couple of Mooney's with that paint scheme and had assumed it was type-specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
