Lucas Posted February 28, 2021 Report Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) We did some in air photo shoot two weeks ago. Boy I need to clean this belly and never forget sunglasses.

Schllc Posted February 28, 2021 Report Posted February 28, 2021 Awesome photos. I always liked that paint scheme. also think that’s the best view of Mooney belly that I’ve ever seen. 1 Quote
MooneyMitch Posted February 28, 2021 Report Posted February 28, 2021 Too much fun! ( if there’s such a thing ). Terrific shots!! Your Mooney looks great! Will you frame a few of your photos for wall/office art? Quote

So good I can see what looks like a slight fuel seepage from right inspection panel.That square antenna aft of the panels is huge, is that a lightning detection antenna? Quote

Sometimes the incredible speed of the Mooney can suck the fuel right out of the tanks! We love to fly......FAST ! 1 Quote

Will.iam Posted February 28, 2021 Report Posted February 28, 2021 So glad a fellow A&P told me the front nose gear doors do not hang down at the same angle. I see the newer Mooneys also show this same thing and is normal from your snow taxi picture. Quote

StevenL757 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Posted February 28, 2021 I *believe* the larger one in front of the StormScope is ADF. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted February 28, 2021 Report Posted February 28, 2021 Fantastic Mooney pics Lucas! I didn’t get to re-orient a single one... The dirty belly made me laugh out loud... your post only gave a hint it was coming... See if you can select your favorite pics... send to Mooney.com for their Mooney of the month contest... I bet your ship can earn a title... Thanks for sharing the pics! I like the simple, taxi on an imperfect surface... Mooneys don’t need acres of perfect concrete... Best regards, -a- 1 Quote

N201MKTurbo Posted February 28, 2021 Report Posted February 28, 2021 Now we know of two Mooneys in Poland. are there any more? I've been to Malbork to see the castle. Beautiful country. Quote
carusoam Posted February 28, 2021 Report Posted February 28, 2021 MS... always teaching world geography.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vistula_Lagoon When mentioning Poland... we have @tmo in the area... Best regards, -a- Quote
tmo Posted March 1, 2021 Report Posted March 1, 2021 One person from my club is looking around for a M20J, so the breed will become stronger; there is M20J, N201CV, that is physically in Poland, but I'm afraid it is mostly a hangar queen. 2 Quote
Jeph357 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Posted March 1, 2021 Poland is beautiful country! Went to Kolobrzeg to check out the Polish Arms Mueseum which was awesome and the Baltic. Which is further west but beautiful just like the rest of the country I was able to see too bad no chance to fly while I was there. 1 Quote
