Not sure if it was just a mistake but the photo that is Captioned Mooney 301 in the article 70 years of Rocky History is not a 301.  It is just another photo of a TBM 700.  There was only one Mooney 301 ever built and flown and that was the prototype, and that photo is not it.

Great articles though.  Thank you for posting them.

Yep.  At first I was thinking "Those airplanes look almost identical".  Then I looked at the registration number, and things started o fall apart.
