Mooney instruction in WA or OR

[Val Alexandrovich]

Searching through a few threads here and The Mooney Flyer, I couldn't find any Mooney instructors in WA or OR states. Just double-checking if anybody has any suggestions for this area. I am located in Vancouver Canada and looking for a few instruction hours on a Mooney before I purchase one. Preferably in a location where I could drive to, or within a short x-country flight. Thanks!

There a bunch of us up in the Pacific NW, and I hope they chime in with CFI's who are part of the Mooney community.  I can give you the name of my instructor, but we're all the way down south of Portland.  PM me if your interested

HI Val,

As we were PMing, we have some in Canada too, both on the mainland and the island.  They were all acceptable for the insurance folks and had some good mooney time amongst them.  They help get the basics going and keep you safe, but really can;t speak to the ownership side which is where this community becomes immensely valuable.

Galvin Flying at KBFI in Seattle has M20J in their fleet. They have a few instructors that you could use.
