1988 AOPA Pilot

[ragedracer1977]

Came across an old copy of my grandfather's.  Couple pages I thought you guys might like.  252VV appears to still be flying, and the owner was a member here. Sorry for the rotation.  I don't know how to fix it.

I remember reading about these things...

Flying magazine would cover some of the details as well...

in the 80s I would buy a flying related magazine while flying commercially for work... sit in the way back and read...

As someone who is a member of AOPA I look forward to my monthly copy of Pilot magazine however as I read each issue it almost seems as though they go out of their way to avoid any thing Mooney. Other than the paid add for the new Acclaim and of course the story on the Ultra which they really had to do it seems that there are no stories or photos that show or mention our beloved Mooney's.

Are any still flying with original engines?

I thought Porsche got out of CD the market, forcing engine exchanges. This is where the tiny Useful Loads came from. Weren't many L models wiped out by a hurricane waiting on engine exchange? Punta Gorda, FL??

I used to count and report around here, the Mooney Sightings in AOPA’s monthly publication...   For a while there were very few...

Things improved as we had two prominent MSers that were writing some significant articles for AOPA....

MS has some talented Aviation book and article writers.... One MSer went on to work at AOPA for a while...

 

I think I remember AOPA having an annual art contest... hmmmmmmm..... Mooney art... or Mooney, Art...  Sounds familiar?

 

we need to find out about the AOPA art contest.  See if that is still around... I know a new and upcoming Mooney artist that may have a great entry for the contest!   

Best regards,
