Long-time Mooney Owner gone west

[moodychief]

Long-time Mooney owner and CFI, Ed Morris went west this last week.  Several  people on this forum have probably flown with Ed at some time over the past few decades during MAPA safety clinics.  Ed owned a J-model (N555ED) for over 30-years and a C-model prior to that.  With over 38,000 hours in various aircraft, he was a walking encyclopedia on aircraft performance.  He was also one of the few people that flew as aircrew in the B-58 Hustler (Mach 2).

Aviation has lost a great asset and he will be missed by all who knew him.

My condolences. Thank you for letting us know.

I've flown with a lot of good pilots but, not to belittle other pilots, Ed was the best. By a long shot. His level of experience was basically unbelievable and unobtainable. B-36 FE, B-58. Decades of instructing. I took his King Air course twice. Ed actually KNEW what was going on in the airplane. And he loved Mooneys.

I’ll let @moodychief know you stopped in…

Best regards,
