ryoder Posted May 1, 2021 Report Posted May 1, 2021 I sold my Mooney a few years ago but still feel like a Mooniac. What’s wrong with me? 1 1 Quote

Hank Posted May 1, 2021 Report Posted May 1, 2021 Hey, @ryoder. Swing by the Tampa Airport (Peter Knight?) in mid-October. It looks to be the biggest Mooney Summit ever! Quote
carusoam Posted May 1, 2021 Report Posted May 1, 2021 Proof... that you can take a person out of a Mooney... But... You can’t ever get the Mooney out of the person... MS is just the place to go to get your daily dose of Mooney aviation. Every now and then a post shows up... the avatar is a great memory device... Somebody might respond with... Hey! there’s been a Ryoder sighting... Its kinda like that fictional bar in Boston... Cheers! -a- Quote

ragedracer1977 Posted May 1, 2021 Report Posted May 1, 2021 I know the feeling! Amazing thing about mooneyspace. Search google for a problem with just about any airplane, and it's almost assured that one of the first results will be a mooneyspace post! 2 Quote

There is nothing wrong with you except your diagnosis. You never actually sell a money, you are only "temporarily between Mooneys". So....what model are you now considering? 1 1 Quote

I want the M20E that they did all the weight reduction and drag improvements on or something like it. The ultimate in economy cruising. To me it is the Mooniest of Mooneys. 1 Quote
Kmac Posted May 2, 2021 Report Posted May 2, 2021 Sold my C in Sept. '19. Still here almost every day. Placed an offer on a spectacular B last July but lost out. I want a '64 E, a B or an IO upgraded 62-64 C and actively looking. Quote

Hank Posted May 2, 2021 Report Posted May 2, 2021 11 hours ago, tigers2007 said: I have 112 months to the day until I retire when I’ll finally get that J... Now that's planning! Nine years and a bit. Me, I'll just wing it and go when I have the whole insurance thing figured out . . . . But my wife is 5 years behind me, a complicating factor . . . . Happy building, and fly safe! Quote
tigers2007 Posted May 2, 2021 Report Posted May 2, 2021 Cool. Which ELSA are you building?I bought a used one ; a Flightworks Capella XS. The beauty of E-LSA is that you can take a 16-hr course and then apply for the repairmen cert. My mission changed for the time being so I’ll be playing with experimental for now. Let’s all see how FAA’s MOSAIC plays out over the next several years. I’m hoping they’ll one day adopt something parallel to Canada’s “Owner-Maintenance Category” (4 place or less, = Quote
carusoam Posted May 3, 2021 Report Posted May 3, 2021 Way to plan the future Tigers! Do they have an aviation department where you work? We have at least one LEO that is flying at work... See if I have any of these memories correct? Best regards, -a- 1 Quote
tigers2007 Posted May 3, 2021 Report Posted May 3, 2021 I left that agency with all of the cool birds but I’m at another that does indeed have a large scale transportation operation. My dream job would be at the US Forest Service seaplane base in Ely, MN. 1 Quote
