I’ve been trying to dethrone the incumbent owner of the Mooney of the Month slot… since about a month after she was coronated…. I selected some awesome pics from MS… after I logged into the site the first time…. Some pics are just soooo Mooney Lifestyle! In different states… In different countries… In different hemispheres… Having a Mooney improves our photo-compatibility…. We just look better! I have mixed in various airframes so they’re not all Ovations…. In case I get called out for being partial to long bodies… I need to get a Job at Mooney and work from NJ…. Keeping their web site up to date… Nothing better that 3.14EB’s fancy new paint in that pic! Sue’s pics with the rock are just Iconic! Go Mooney! Best regards, -a- 2 Quote

211º Posted August 30, 2022 Report Posted August 30, 2022 Such a treat. I sometimes don’t know if I’m more impressed with the Mooney or with the iPhone camera. 4 Quote

Getting up to the flight corridor at 4,500 ft in a 150 usually took 2 boxes over HHR, but as a young pilot flying over all of those huge airplanes in a little 150 without talking to LAX tower still seems like getting away with something. 1 Quote

In Swiss German this was what's called a Mwurks - like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole through asking, begging, coercing, forcing... I got so lucky! Of the five available parking spots, EasyJet and British Airways are taking four. At the very last minute (one hour before arrival from an airport one hour away) they let me have the fifth and then said, "Well, your plane is so small. If we have to, we can just move it somewhere." Very very cool! Outstanding! 1 Quote

0TreeLemur Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Posted September 24, 2022 After an oil change and leak test, I decided to go for a short evening flight. Took this photo of the 100,000 seat Bryant-Denny stadium on the campus of the Univ. of Alabama. In this over-exposure, it looks like they were testing the fog machine... Smooth as glass. Nice. 2 Quote
KLRDMD Posted September 24, 2022 Report Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Climbing out of Nogales today. The airplane had sat on the ramp all day and was heat soaked. It was pretty darned hot. At 6,000 ft I’m still climbing at 1,500 FPM at 110 KIAS. In cruise at 8,500 ft and an OAT of 79ºF, I got 178 KTAS at 57% power on 12.9 GPH with the hottest cylinder at 367ºF. I was pushing 200 KTAS in the descent. Edited September 24, 2022 by KLRDMD 1 Quote

toto Posted October 1, 2022 Report Posted October 1, 2022 I don’t know if flying a creeper counts as a “flight,” but I do a belly cleaning about once a year and wanted to do it this year before it gets too cold… Quote
Hank Posted October 3, 2022 Report Posted October 3, 2022 Beautiful weather today along the Gulf coast! I saw KECP Panama City Beach from 40 nm away! A nice cool 64° at 7000' too. 2 Quote
