I took delivery of my "new" 1985 231 yesterday (Halloween).


2.6 hours of flying in the San Antonio area, pattern work at Kerrville, and getting familiar with the systems, followed by a 3.7 hour flight (headwinds all the way) to Albuquerque, and then a 3 hour flight (more headwinds) to Salt Lake International.


Long day, but what a great flying airplane!  Handles well, fantastic climb performance, respectable cruise speeds (even with the head winds I still got speeds equal to or better than the "no wind" speeds of my former 201), and easy to land (just like all Mooney aircraft, it's a matter of speed control).


I'm a happy, but slightly weary guy.


Pictures to follow.

Hi Lew, I also have my M20K parked at KSLC. Would love to meet you some day. N4710H is parked at hangar 19 row 12. It's not really a Hangar but rather covered parking. Jim Hamilton
