Nice video....

But where’s the approach and landing?

It took over an hour to upload that three minute video clip on my awful home internet connection, so I figured I'd limit it to the bits that leave a good impression

Here's a clip of my transition through Oakland's class C airspace.

Nice and shiny belly you have there.

Andrew,

I sent a request to Craig...

Seeing if there is a known limit for that...

Or what else may cause a limit...

Best regards,

A few days ago was wash and wax day, spent a few hours with my wife getting all the grime off of Snoopy. What a difference nice and shiny. Today was a trip for lunch and some shopping at Nut Tree. Had a bit of turbulence on the trip down nothing major but was very uncomfortable and had to keep an eye on the speed for the bumpy air. Quite a different trip home but started out rather interesting as we departed 20 with a downwind departure anounced on the CTAF as we were climbing on the upwind I saw what appeared to be two helicopters coming straight at us. I made another call to advise of our position and asked if they were on frequency and got no response. I know my radio was receiving as I had listened to the AWOS before we departed and I checked to make sure I was on the correct frequency which I was. Anyway they passed by our right wing at our altitude about one hundred to one fifty feet away. Two jet black rangers was all I could make out. I also heard no inbound calls and I was monitoring the CTAF as soon as we started engine at the fuel rig. As we were on the crosswind we lost sight of them in the ground clutter. Strange. The trip home was smooth and Snoopy was liking his fresh wash and wax giving us a ground speed of 170mph with about a 6 knot cross wind at 6500 ft 2450 and 23mp.

And until then, Marauder is here for you.

Catching up on posts... What started out as a dusty/windy flight in Salt Lake gave way to beautiful skies south of Vegas. A crazy dust cloud from a field that extended 60+ miles to the north, 45+ knot headwinds for a space of time, St George with a crosswind requiring full rudder, it was an adventure September 30th. More pictures and video on my blog.

Dont care a few dry days are welcome in Texas.

You guys are good!

The iPhone photo app has a pretty handy orientation button... now.

Click, edit, orient, save...

Then bring into MS...

Visited the Wright brothers memorial today.  It just reopened a week or so ago with a complete revamp.  Very good presentation showing the tenacity and skill they used to work through all the challenges of the unknowns at that time.

This is awesome! I did the same thing when my daughter was 16 days old!

Last weekend I did a pretty unique flight. Not in a Mooney unfortunately. But I had the pleasure of transporting a sand cat to its new home at the Lincoln Nebraska Zoo. It came from the feline compound in Rosamond Califrnia. 24 hours of flying in a 48 hour period and VFR the whole way. Great trip

I tried rotating the images on my iPad before posting and it didnt work. Sorry for the sideways photos guys! Enjoy

Nice humanitarian effort MH!

Flying for that long of time in such a slow plane is amazing. 

Is this the Kitty’s new digs?

You get extra life credits for this kind of work.

well i was going to put a video of the sun shining on G-obals paint making her look all sexy like but at 147 meg it didnt let me.  it just says its done and then is all black.  any ideas chaps?

Much easier to upload the video to Youtube or Vimeo and then post the link here on MooneySpace. That will embed the video without Craig (MooneySpace) having to provide the storage.

Meant to post this Sunday. It was a bumpy day down low in Oklahoma but still a beautiful day to fly. Caught a video of my final approach into my home airport KGOK (Guthrie, OK).

Very nice!

I had planned to go there with my aeronautical engineering student-son in late September...but weather happened.  Good to see it is open again.

We may need to postpone til late spring because of schedules now.

He is on the bike team too...so thanks for the bike tip!
