StinkBug Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 And I'm still on board for the hat rack parts! Quote
DXB Posted October 10, 2017 Report Posted October 10, 2017 Man - wish I could make this one. Sadly I'll be out of town for work. I've seen that plane many times and love the shop where it sits - they brought my M20C panel into the modern era. And the shop owner Ben is a worthy addition to the Mooney owner community. I wonder how much progress he's made on the M20C he took in trade for this dead E - it's gonna be the most tricked out C in existence when he's done with it. Quote
201er Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Posted October 17, 2017 I have heard a rumor that the Grim Reaper will be serving gourmet burgers and refreshments all courtesy of Grim Inc. Not only will he wine and dine but he will also be offering up amusements and entertainment. Come out this Saturday for a goolish time. Lunch at noon, cutting up a Mooney all day long starting 8AM. Bring your appetites, saws, and sickles. 2 Quote
1964-M20E Posted October 17, 2017 Report Posted October 17, 2017 You Guys are just too eager for this event. If I had a large fortune I could make a small fortune in aviation with planes like this. 1 Quote

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Chris - Would love to see you but be safe - if you feel airworthy due to the cold - don't fly. No sweat if you can't make it. If you feel great when you wake up tomorrow - it'll be fun catching up! Be safe! -Seth Quote
Becca Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Byron (jetdriven) and I will be there. More shockingly, apparently we will be driving because our Mooney 1. Has no engine, 2. is in Texas (and we're in D.C.). This BBQ better be good and chopping up dead Mooneys sure better be cathartic, because a 2 hr drive is decidedly less fun than a 45 minute flight (Also, a childhood in Pennsylvania is coming back to me... BBQ means "cooked outside" to yankees. To Texans like Byron it has a specific meaning of meat smoked for a number of hours. I will explain to him not to be disappointed if in this context it simply means "cooked outside." He's getting used to this northern living still). Edited October 21, 2017 by Becca 2 Quote
201er Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Posted October 21, 2017 We're at Donagel Springs watching Alan get ready to chop the first E Mooney. Anyone have anything they want to ask the reaper? 1 Quote
