Many of you on MooneySpace know that our own HopePilots Mooney, aka known as Vicki, sits on one of our SoCal airports ramp fully clothed and completely covered.

Yes, you have all seen photos of her without her clothes, but you now have the opportunity to see her completely naked in-person this coming weekend, Sat., Dec. 3, 10AM-2PM, here at our California beach Oceano Airport [L52]. 

She will be sitting on our ramp most of the day, more than willing to be photographed and signing autographs if you wish!

Just bring a new unwrapped toy for our kids, enjoy the brass quintet Christmas music and feast on a tasty BBQ lunch [$15] by our Central Coast Smokers.

Weather is looking outstanding for the weekend!

RE:  Posing without her covers:

Vicki:  "Well...anything for charity...and if its integral to the plot and in no way gratuitous."

Last time I was at Oceano I flew a T-34C in from Lemoore... Maybe it's time to fly the mooney over!

Thank you to all of you that gave of your time, and to those that so generously gave toys for the Oceano Airport Toys for Tots event last Saturday.  Jolie and I just returned from the airport helping the Marine volunteers load up the toys.   There are so many toys, another pick up trip is required. 

As I helped pack the toys and handled so many of them, I was overwhelmed by the generosity of so many of you that gave to this cause.   Thinking about how these kids are going to be just thrilled is the other part of the overwhelming feeling I got.

Thank you again to all of you.  Please enjoy the holidays, fly safe and continue to share spirit of Christmas.

Here's the video from our Toys for Tots event, Dec. 3 at Oceano.  Produced by Princess Productions. Putting on this event is truly tons of work but I have to say, it is absolutely gratifying in so many ways.  You can do this at your airport!  Promote GA and GA airports and give back to those in need. 

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

We had six Mooneys, five big and one Mite. Thanks to all the Ambassadors that came.  I love the video of Captain Mooney Bear taxiing the Mite!
