Pictures of my bird

We did some in air photo shoot two weeks ago. Boy I need to clean this belly and never forget sunglasses.

Awesome photos. 
I always liked that paint scheme.

also think that’s the best view of Mooney belly that I’ve ever seen.

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?

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?

It may be the stormscope antenna. Good to learn something new everyday

Sometimes the incredible speed of the Mooney can suck the fuel right out of the tanks!  

We love to fly......FAST !

Maybe a radar altimeter antenna, if your beauty is so equipped.

No It doesn't have radar altimeter. And yes flying 100-110kts was hard. We where constantly over speeding this poor Socata

It’s nearly ego impossible to fly a Mooney at those speeds ! Except for take offs and landings !

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.

The NY-163 Stormscope antenna is the rounded antenna further back closer to the tail. Would the square one be a UHF radio?

[StevenL757]

I *believe* the larger one in front of the StormScope is ADF.

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...

Now we know of two Mooneys in Poland. are there any more?

I've been to Malbork to see the castle. Beautiful country.

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.

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.
