Derek Posted September 25, 2019 Report Posted September 25, 2019 Just closed on N355RL, a 1995 M20J MSE! Excited, and also a bit mortified... Thank you all for your advice and help! Please keep it coming! Now it's in the shop for 3 weeks waiting for parts for some skeletons that came out of the closet in the prebuy. Attached the first picture I took after becoming an owner for the first time. 14 1

Attached the first picture I took after becoming an owner for the first time. Is that the factory paint? I've never noticed landing gear being any other color than white before. I find the blue gear mesmerizing somehow That's a pretty clean looking engine bay. I hope that says good things about the prior owner...

I imagine it's going to feel something like a first solo.
MarkD34M Posted September 26, 2019 Report Posted September 26, 2019 Derek - congratulations! Plane looks great. Where are you basing the plane and having the work done. I base my Mooney at KBDR and fly in Westchester quite often. We can meet up for lunch.
