Just got back from Oshkosh.  Flew over Friday morning to enter 954N into the Vintage Aircraft Competition and came home with an award in the Contemporary Class.

We have to keep getting the Mooney name out there.  These are highly modifiable birds and make for a pretty unique plane when updated.

Bob,

When I pulled into the parking space and saw your plane (not knowing it was you), I figured it was my competition.

John, congratulations! I’ve seen the pictures of the before and after.  The rebirth of your airplane from the ‘09 re-first flight is absolutely phenomenal and you clearly have a head turner.  The transformation was no doubt a labor of love.  Very well deserved!!

There was a lot of work that went into the plane before the 2009 ferry flight.  I bought it as a project airplane.  I sat in a hangar in Dallas for some 26 years in a non-flying condition.  The prior owner reportedly wanted to do a bunch of modifications but never pulled them off.  Fortunately, he did no damage to the plane and I took it fully apart, stripping it to a shell and made a modern airplane out of it.

Congrats on the gorgeous Mooney rebuild John! We met you during the airshow on Friday and had a chance to see that beauty! I have my M20C at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, MA and the guy who I was with is based in Mansfield, MA. We are almost neighbors.....look forward to seeing you at other Mooney events in the Northeast! Love your beautiful F!

Comgrtulations. I am always heartened by those who bring old machines back to life. I wish I had the time and skills to do likewise. Keep up the good work, we’re all counting on you.
