MooneyMitch Posted July 20, 2020 Report Posted July 20, 2020 Okay, if no one is willing to share the stranger than fiction story, I'm going to have to go outside and chop up an old tree stump I removed a few days ago...........come on, please !!! Quote

They simply had years and years of ingrained "job 1 is to protect job" I actually know a few FAA guys who really dont give $hit if they lose their jobs as they are comfortable in their own skin (is that still ok to say?) and they are outstanding at their job IMO..others, not so much. Some have never sat in a GA plane 2 Quote

Some have never sat in a GA plane I have no doubt - I'm just kidding around. Procrastinating....I sometimes come on here and say silly things when I am sitting at my computer working and get stuck briefly. Then I take it out on you my good friends with silly zingers like the FAA is mean. I am sure they are actually a lovely organization - and they are there to help us stay compliant. Which we all do. Well anyway I hope you never see me busting a Bravo airspace and yelling at the controller. ahahaa.. ok back to work. 1 1 Quote

It would be good if there is such a group with deep enough pockets to make Mooney great again. I hope they are from within the USA. Foreign ownership will not work in this economy Sooner the better. Whoever is paying the bills right now is getting a negative return on their “investment” and the longer the factory sits almost idle, the harder it will be to recover anything. In particular, the human assets. it would be great to see a newly manufactured J (which is my personal favorite), but any new M20 under new ownership would be slim to none (and slim is out of town!). Maybe the M10T with fixed gear? If they hired @blueontop to lead the engineering effort I think they would be wise. 1 Quote
