johnggreen Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 AND YET ANOTHER Report that another M20 crashed in Pomona CA yesterday. Seems to be raining Mooneys. jgreen Quote
Ron McBride Posted November 19, 2011 Report Posted November 19, 2011 Pomona and Bracket are the same airport. Ron Quote

orangemtl Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 It gets worse: two MORE, that I was just made aware of. Just spent some time flying locally after two weeks out of the air; spoke to acquaintances at the FBO. A 1987 M20J had a gear-up within the last 10 days at KHII. Â Very senior pilot; family decided that he was done flying, and the plane was purchased by Havasu Air. Engine torn down; usual process underway to render the plane safe and functional. Â For anyone interested, I believe Havasu Air will end up putting it on the market, once finished (NOTE: I have no personal interest in this). In Bullhead City AZ, a 2007 Acclaim had a VERY hard landing; owner and instructor onboard, and thankfully unhurt. Â Nosegear collapsed, and one or both gear damaged as well. It will be trucked overland to Havasu for repair (should make for an interesting Youtube video). Sounds like it was forced onto the runway, but: I was not there, and it is purely surmising on my part. The three good things that come out of all this: 1. Nobody was injured. 2. Somebody is going to get themselves an M20J at an attractive price. 3. Neither of the above incidents were me! Quote
orangemtl Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 FYI: I've no idea what just happened to my last post. I wrote about two Mooney incidents locally in the last 10 days, and "Re: EDM700 in M20J..." gets posted. I'll repost later: HATE retyping things! Quote

bnicolette Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 What a strange coincidence that rainman did an emergency landing into that airport with smoke issues then having a very difficult time resolving the problem. Â After reading the thread smoke in the cockpit I really thought that this accident was going to turn up to be him. Â I am really happy that we didn't lose one of our own, but obviously saddened by another fellow aviator and pax meeting their demise. Â So sad!! Quote
Txbyker Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Oh no, I think I met the owner of this fine aircraft. Â I will not comment on name but I can tell you if it is who I think it is based upon registration he was a very fine pilot in a top notch Mooney E. Â Very sad indeed. Quote
flyboy0681 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 This is all too depressing. Quote

jetdriven Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I think that was a turbo M20E. If that was the one at the MAPA convention, jeez that was the nicest M20E I have ever seen. Quote
mooneygirl Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 My thoughts go out to the families of the lost. This was a beautiful highly modified E model. Fred, the owner was not flying it. I am sure the details will come to light. It is so very sad and I very much feel the loss in our Mooney family.

Hank Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Any idea what a Mooney M10 is? Mites are 18's--is it a Cadet??? Quote
Skywarrior Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Reading the news account, it sounds like his wheels clipped power lines near the fence, then pitched forward onto the runway. Looking at the satellite image of the field, I'd say he was approaching from the west. There is a power line running over top of the very end of the runway. Quote
jetdriven Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 M10 is a Cadet. Ercoupe with mooney tail.  Unless its a typo, because there are more typo's than Cadets. Quote
bnicolette Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Thank goodness everybody on this one is okay: http://www.theleafchronicle.com/article/20120628/NEWS01/306280033/Plane-crashes-near-Erin-two-walk-away-minor-injuries?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFrontpage&nclick_check=1 Quote
