It's an amazing flying machine and a great relief during these Covid times but we are likely to head back to Europe at some point this year and I'm not sure the 252 will fit my mission profile over there so I'm thinking about selling over the next few months.

1.  Don't do it.

2.  If you must offload the K and if you really twist my arm I would do a fellow MSer a solid and swap you straight up for my C.  Same color scheme :)

Lots of Mooneys have travelled to Europe...

One Mooney flys across the pond once or twice each year...

Something to consider...

:)

Selling a 252 this year will not be too challenging...

Best regards,

-a- 

@carusoam I'm considering that but over there, I know I will have much less time to fly (and would rather have a FIKI bird).

Almost nobody has FIKI in Europe and yet we fly IFR all seasons.  You have a turbocharger and a hot prop, which is all you could want.  Except when you really need to commute on a fixed schedule of course.  UK-southern France is pretty routine, except for the high terrain at the end.
