My old 231 is three serial numbers from this one. Sad. Nothing on LiveATC.net, but little GA traffic on the frequencies they record. Before heading back to Houston the plane had been at KFOT for a couple of days and one of our local Mooney pilots had talked to him. The plane was well equipped with up to date avionics and a fairly recent paint job. The owner had said that he bought it from an Oil Company and they spared no expense on the plane. He also had his wife with him before heading back home. Pritch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickker20 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 That was my buddy on the plane. He was coming back from playing golf at Pebble Beach in California. I will miss him very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Sorry about your loss rickker. Did you know him as a pilot, or as a friend,or both? You are welcome to write a tribute here if you like... pics are appreciated... Around here we have a tendency to know a lot of Mooney pilots. We get to share the highs AND the lows... Mostly we are sharing the knowledge of flying Mooney Aircraft. Unfortunately, events like this occur... Do you have any questions we can help you with? Best regards, -anthony- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBDiagMan Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Do you know if the person in the picture was at the Mooney Max event last October? I am terrible with names, buthelooks like someone we met there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
