I picked up my 1965 Mooney M20C today from Morganton, NC.  It was at AGL for a prebuy and then they completed the annual.  I flew to Charlotte yesterday on the 6am flight from Philly and then took an Uber to Morganton.  Lynn met me at the airport and jacked up the plane so I could practice with the J-Bar.  Then, I flew with a local instructor and completed airwork.  This morning, we did a bunch of landings, a few go arounds, and engine outs. It was relatively cool and the plane was pretty consistently in the air at the 1000 foot marker.  I flew back to KPNE without issue.  Kept my speed on point for landing and had no problems making the first turn off.  Planning on working with a safety pilot and some instruction before I would take it IFR.

But, it was a long but fun weekend and I'm happy to have it home.  Definitely recommend AGL for a prebuy as well

Very nice IFR bird - good combination of instrumentation, well-laid-out.  (I assume the G5 is tied into the 430W.)

May you enjoy many years of safe flying!

Good looking bird! I have 5553Q, probably a cousin! My panel is not even half as nice as yours!

Congratulations! I got my 1965 M20C last year. They are wonderful airplanes. I think your panel cost more than my airplane.
