mooneyflyer Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 SEVERE VFR for our Innaugural West Coast Mooney Club Fly-In! There’s a hot Acclaim Ultra on the ramp and lots of warm hospitality too! Phil & Linda 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skates97 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Couldn't have ordered up better weather! Even to Airmet for low level turbulence is no longer active (which my wife will appreciate). Heading to the airport in about 10 minutes, looking forward to meeting everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post pics Phil or your sidekick Mike Rogers! First to post, well it did happen and will post some pics here and on today's flight thread soon. My wife counted 50 Mooneys on the ramp in front of the event hangar and there were a few others parked in a different area because they ran out of space. Could not have had better weather for the flying and the event. Met a few Mooney space folks but so many was impossible to meet them all. Thank you Phil and Mike and your better halves and every one who helped put this together. Was a fantastic turn out and we overwhelmed Oakland center as our airplanes began to depart.

Look up N242KT on flight aware and you really won’t be able to stop thinking of Acclaim’s! The performance was nothing short of amazing on his flight back to AZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M20FanJesse Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Great meeting everyone! I got some great pictures I'll put together an album tomorrow. Looking at the ultra's performance stats on the return flight, he was able to climb linearly from 1400 to 16,800 in just 12 minutes, while consistently increasing in speed. It took my 150 20 minutes to get to 5,500! Oh to have that performance... Edited April 15, 2018 by M20FanJesse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 ThinW, if able, post the video in YouTube... the. Link here... This is a typical way to be able to share MS videos on all pieces of hardware. Some I devices still have difficulty with raw .mp4 videos... Great pics everyone!

Skates97 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Do we have a final number of Mooneys that made it? I know there were more that showed up after the video was shot, a few that came in after lunch began to be served. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
