MoMooneyMoProblems Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Well our new (and first) plane was delivered and closed on this Friday! Going to be pretty painful to see her sitting there 2-3 times a week while I finish up my PPL, but that’s the price of seizing a great opportunity rather than doing everything in the “right order”. Thankful for all the things I’ve learned here on MS so far! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCECASPER Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Beautiful airplane - the last of the J models were some of the best Mooneys ever made.. You have all of the running airframe upgrades, the nice fiberglass interior side panels wrapped in ultraleather. This is a keeper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarlton Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Mind sharing where you found it? How it was marketed? Newer J's are few and far between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer J's are few and far between. It was actually on eBay of all places, with a reference to the auction posted on TAP later. Older pilot that was just getting out and was poorly marketed but a excellent plane with a fresh annual and two iPad pros thrown in too. Previous owner also filled the tanks up and delivered it 400 miles to me for just his return ticket home. I’m new to aviation…but far from the typical transaction. Very happy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Woo-hoo! Congratulations, and welcome to the club. I found my Mooney at the XC stage of PPL training, but didn't buy it until after my checkride. Good luck with your training, and be sure to get transition training for your new Mooney, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amillet Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Welcome. I see yours is the first 1996 J model. Ours is the first 1997 J. You’re going to love it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a pro pilot keep it exercised while you finish your private. You're a passenger only. Then amend or re-write the policy to allow for owner-flown operations. It's often the only viable option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
