Maiden Flight

[pilot716]

Finally took the keys for our 83' m20J and flew off for some touch and goes then getting familiar with the plane..Man!! what a aircraft, 160kts & handled like a real smooth machine, landing over the numbers at 70...many good days ahead, now I see what the craze is!

I can see the grin on your face ! The same grin I got when I soloed my M20B.

Did you use pitch or power to hold 70?

Welcome to the "craze".

Congratulations!

Congrats....don't mention the landing speed though it's a highly volatile subject.

Congratulations.  Are you sure it wasn't 72?  Hey Ross come to Cedar Rapids and look me up.  I would love to talk about the "subjectives" of landing a Mooney face to face.  You might want to have that scratch in your throat looked at.  Hey, weren't you on Friends?  You know the show that had a group of people that were you know "friends".  Ross was the whiney one.  You know, thought he was the smartest guy in the room?  Do you know that guy?  Thought he was funny, but was really not?  Do you know him, Ross?

This board has been remarkable in maintaining a civil, professional and intelligent exchange. Personal attacks are not warranted under any circumstance. If you want to disagree do so but keep personal comments out of the discussion.

Just making conversation about a t.v. show character Cruiser...but if I did want to tell someone what I really thought of them in this P.C. world  I would do so through a direct face to face not through clever inuendo and subderfuge.  I believe in the direct approach.

Thanks for the reminder on keeping it civil on the website.  Good idea.  Have a nice day.
