ABC's Wide World of Flying - 252!

[shawnd]

Yes.  Was bored and started searching on YouTube for M20K 252 videos and guess what I found?

ABC' Wide World of Flying
 

 

 

And whoever owns N252YG - they have a star in their hangar!

Few points

- The factory looked busy back in the day   and probably the only shot of folks mating the wing to the body that I have seen.

- Bonus: Rod Machado talks about "Morning Sickness" back in 1980s - with example! ~22:40.

[EricS]

Also a segment on the Mooney PFM (Powered by Porsche) starting at 31:06.

The blue and white 252 flying next to it is 252AD which is currently mine :-)

Small bit of trivia - the Producer and Director, David E. Jackson has about 500 hours in Mooneys and absolutely loves flying them.  He told me that Bill Cox still owns and flies a Mooney and absolutely loves it!!  Go Mooney!!

Niice!  Exciting to your baby on TV eh?

[ArtVandelay]

They have the whole series on YT, they also talk about the F with a turbo, the J in other episodes IIRC.

If you want to take a look at world wide flying in a 252 check these out: To the end of the world and From the end of the world

The pilot from EuroGA is also a member here.

She still flies just as good as she ever did. Today was Denver to Boise. The 252's are excellent personal airliners.

Shawn,

If that’s the case... you need to find stories written about the ‘honeymooney’ a pair of world travelers... in a Mooney...

Mission accomplished ;-)

@shawnd thanks for this! I’m thinking about changing my tail number and googled the original tail number to see what it originally looked like and stumbled upon this page! S/N 25-1077 was N252YG from the factory but the previous owner changed it to N944Y. Fun find!

[carusoam]

Does the new tail number have a meaning?

NP - happy you found it! Question is are you going to change it back to 252YG?
