M20J Dual in Denver area

[AB123]

Hello Everyone, 

I am looking at potentially buying a M20J and have done "everything" research wise except sit in the plane and fly it. Curious if anyone in the denver area who owns a M20J or similar medium-body mooney would be open to taking me on a flight. 

Thanks for the help in advance!

There are plenty of M20Js in the Denver area.  But if you get no better offers and don't mind traveling a bit north, I can offer you a ride in a 1976 M20F out of KLMO.  I'm a CFI, and you can sit left seat if you like.

1976 was the last year for the F model.  The instrument panel and interior are the same as a 1977 M20J (including the infamous, superior throttle quadrant ).  It's the same body length, and feels/flies essentially the same.  It's just about 10 knots slower in cruise, as it lacks the sloped windshield, improved cowl, and various fairings of the J model.  You'll enjoy those changes if you're flying a J, but curse them if you're working on one.

PM me if interested, but no hard feelings if you get a better and/or closer offer.
