mike_elliott Posted April 4, 2023 Report Posted April 4, 2023 Dear Mooney Enthusiast, It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that long time member Jake Kertz, age 94, passed away last night. Jake was active as a Mooney pilot until age 92. He will be missed. The weather was good for our last event at Vero Beach, but Ruth and I arrived late because of a dead battery on our electric tug. Turns out there was no way to get the plane off the tug until we could recharge the battery. But, everyone seem to be having a good time when we arrived. Thee were a total of 22 people brought by 12 Mooneys and 1 Piper. Our next event is this Saturday, April 8, at High Jackers at the Flagler Airport (FIN). All events start at 11:30. Future events: April 8, Flagler (FIN) May 13, St. Augustine ( SGJ). June 10, Sebring (SEF). Please let me know by Thursday if you are going to try to come so I can give the restaurant an approximate headcount. If you tell me you are coming, and can’t come do not worry about telling me, just do not come. I do not want anyone flying for any reason if they shouldn’t. Hope to see you soon, Dave and Ruth 11605 Lane Park Rd. Tavares, FL. 352-408-3343 Quote
