Kerry_PDX Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Mooney newbie here. I live in Portland and I have inherited my brothers M20B that is located at Felts field in Spokane Washington. Oddly, my inquiries around the area looking for a Mooney mechanic to get this beautiful plane annualed and flying again have not born fruit. Anyone out there that can help? Thanks Kerry Stevens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry_PDX Posted February 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Thanks for the replies, but I guess I wasn't clear that the plane is currently in Spokane. I need an AP in the Spokane area to at least get a trip permit, Anyone from the Spokane area???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMc Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 I've just reached out to the AOPA ASN for SFF to see if he can get some local Mooney input. Is the plane flyable at all? I think I've heard there is a Mooney mechanic in Coeur d'Alene, I'll see if I can follow up on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry 5TJ Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 Rocket Engineering is based at Felts field. Perhaps you could ask Darwin for a lead on an A&P/IA in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMc Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 @Kerry_PDX Did you ever find a mechanic? I heard back from someone at KSFF and they had two recommendations of mechanics/shops, but did know if either had Mooney experience. One was Joe Arcuri who apparently is an independent mechanic. I found LinkedIn Contact info by Googling "Joe Arcuri KSFF" Other recommendation was Western Aviation that has several mechanics on staff. If you need to get a real Mooney guy, closest one would be the in Coeur d'Alene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Denenny Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Don't know if you have solved you need but I can't say enough about Joe A and his crew. kirk who owns Cd'A aviation just bought all the resort aviation facility, moved from the west side to the east side airport next to 2/20 and have a nice big roomy shop. They have treated me exceptionally well and are doing my annual on the 18th this month. Needed a rear cone stinger fairing and they had an intern search and found one for me in Brazil. 2808 635-0805.
