Mooney on the Ramp!!


211º

Recommended Posts

I find that when I arrive at an airport via plane or car and see a Mooney on the ramp, I immediately think:

"Oooh.  A Mooney."

Then I think, "I wonder where he/she just came from an how they use their bird."

Then I think, "I wonder if I know them on MooneySpace."

Anyone else have similar thoughts?

Yep, I often write down the N number to look up later. I do the same thing in flight when I hear a Mooney check in with ATC.

After landing at an airport for an offield lunch, when I return and see a Mooney parked on the ramp....... I too look up the N number, only to discover it’s mine!!!  This could possibly be an age related issue.:blink:

quickly forgetting what you're talking about is a serious issue called...wait a sec, what was the question?

A friend of mine was in his doctors office for some test results.......doc said, Frank I’ve got some rather bad news for you!

2 things Frank, the doc says...number 1, your tests reveal you have some cancer.  2nd,  I believe you’re showing possible signs of dimentia.......Frank sighs, and replies...... whew, at least I don’t have cancer ! :(

This is only an attempt at jocularity.  :D

50/50... the chances that a Mooney pilot is also an MSer...

There are some people that just aren’t social media able... :(

75/25... The chances that a Mooney pilot is also an MSer at a Fly-in...

99/1...  the chances that a Mooney pilot is also an MSer at a formation event...

 

Hey Mooney pilot... Are you an MSer?

:)

The Mooney world is quite large, yet it gets smaller every day...

Expect that to say Cripes...

In some parts of the US you may here somebody that is exasperated spout the phrase “Christ All Mighty”...

The phrase gets cleaned up a bit when adjusted to Cripes All Mighty...

Adjusted for the Mooney world... Cripes Al Mooney is perfect! :)

I really dig the D-Day stripes on a good laminar flow wing... that is classic P51 type aviation art.

PP thoughts only, not a linguist...

The other day I landed in an airport west of Tucson and low and behold there was a Mooney with the cowl off but engine running.I walked over and introduced myself and was told the story about why it was there. The wife was flying when it swallowed a valve and she performed an emergency landing.The plane was a wooden winged Mooney and they had replaced the jugs and was completing the post flight test flight so I got to watch the father aged 79 fly it out to its california home. In all this I got to meet the wife,her husband and the father and get to see an original wooden wing Mooney. Overall a great day
