Went over 6000 TT

Transitioned to Beech 400

2019:

100 hours in my Mooney in the calendar year 

Attend 3rd consecutive EAA Airventure as part of the Mooney Caravan

[Danb]

I have all the ratings I want/need and exceeded my 2018 flying goals

2019- more trips cross country with my partner-- Delaware to Oshkosh,and Sun-n-Fun  Windsor Ca a couple times-- a couple trips to Florida--a couple to New Orleans and the main cross country to Lake Tahoe(chickened out last year when in Vegas due to wind and turbulance) MAPA three day course every year and the Summit

These goals are easy if we keep our health

 

Happy New Year to all

I have no where near the experience level of most on here, so my achievements were a bit less lofty.

2018: My goals at the start of the year were to take a vacation with the plane (Oshkosh), and to fly 100 hours (117.8).  Other accomplishments that weren't on the goal list: learned formation flying, joined Mooney Caravan to Oshkosh, set new CC distance record (496 NM), learned to change my own oil, got an AWESOME picture of my plane by the St. Louis Arch!

2019 Goals: 100+ hrs, IFR rating, Oshkosh/Caravan again, family vacation, new distance record, install engine monitor & ADS-B, mountain flying training, get a picture of @Junkman by the arch to return the favor!

2019-  sell my Mooney and leave aircraft ownership. Starting our plan to transition towards retirement in 8-10 years and the airplane isn’t part of that plan. I still have access to another plane or two to continue flying. 

[Browncbr1]

2018 multi addon to commercial instrument.   Added 50hours in B58 and BE20.

2019 hopefully a few mooney mods, 100hrs in mooney with family, 400hrs multi.  

[N201MKTurbo]

Get my IA. I'm tired of hunting down an IA who will sign off my annuals.

[Hank]

2018:  not enough hours. Drove to Mooney Summit VI due to <200 agl ceilings at home and the first half of the trip. Flew to III, IV & V.

2019:  reinvigorate the airport, which the city wants to close . . . . . Prep for Mooney Summit VII. Finish panel restoration.

2018 was a big year for us:

1st formation work in a Mooney (clinics x 2)
1st KOSH Caravan experience
1st Summit
Used the airplane to visit family in Tennessee and Chicago on 10 separate occasions
Completed Commercial ticket in a week
Keeping up the pace of 100+ hours per year in the Mooney
Made some great friends!

Plans for 2019:

Visit my Dad in Tennessee and my son in Virginia (moved from Chicago) as often as possible
Get that awesome arch picture with @skydvrboy
CFI/II accelerated program scheduled for June
Instruct the three students that are standing in line waiting for me to complete the CFI/II certification
Trying for 2nd Caravan but work commitments are dictating otherwise
2nd Summit hard scheduled
Make some more great friends!

Cheers,
Rick

In 2019 I hope to:

Exorcise the last remaining mechanical spinning gyros from the panel.  

Finish AoA installation.  

Complete 3 days of recurrent training including one day of upset recovery techniques.  

Enjoy the great privilege of personal flight

I'm sure we can round up three more local Mooneys to inspect to meet your mininum.
