tcal780 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Posted March 15, 2022 Hello All, After 2 years of searching and 3 failed deals, I'm excited to share that I have purchased my first plane, a 1970 M20C! I'm a low time pilot SEL (85hrs) with all that time in Skyhawks and Cherokees. I sought a vintage mooney as a solid platform to earn my instrument and commercial ratings while being a fun, fast, economic traveler to go places. This platform is tough to beat. This forum has been a real resource for me. I've learned a lot in here and appreciate the community. I hope to be more active now with a Mooney of my own! I'll be based at MPO in eastern PA. Hopefully, will have an opportunity to meet some of you in the future. 12 1
carusoam Posted March 15, 2022 Report Posted March 15, 2022 Congrats tcal! She looks like she just rolled off the production line! Ask a lot of questions… There are many M20C owners around here that have really good answers… Best regards, -a-
Hank Posted March 15, 2022 Report Posted March 15, 2022 Congrats, @tcal780! Excellent choice of aircraft. We love our '70C. Even your panel looks familiar. 1

201Steve Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 You’ve clearly been paying attention, posting pictures of both the bird and the panel. 1 1

201er Posted March 17, 2022 Report Posted March 17, 2022 You haven’t joined THE club just yet. PM me so I could get you on the northeast fly in list. 1
BobbyH Posted March 18, 2022 Report Posted March 18, 2022 She is beautiful, looks very clean. Congratulations! When I upgraded to a 66' Mooney, my joy factor went up every flight.
DXB Posted March 18, 2022 Report Posted March 18, 2022 Wonderful step up to the C model! Mine is based at KPNE, and I've gotten deep into the ownership experience over the last 8 years if you ever need anything... 1
