NotarPilot Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Add me to the short but distinguished list of Mooney owners. After a dream 8+ years in the making I finally bought my first airplane. And after many months of deciding on an airframe I decided on a Mooney. Seems to me like the greatest personal plane out there. I think reality will set in later. Here are pictures as we parked the plane before getting its prebuy done. I'd like to thank many Mooney owners who provided me with tons of invaluable information and advice. Not to mention the familiarization flights in a Mooney. Thanks Dave.
pjsny78 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Congrats. It's a great feeling. I wish you all the best.
BillC Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Congratulations Steve!!! I'm a new Mooney owner too and I know your going to love yours as much as I do mine. Best wishes, Bill
FlyDave Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Steve, Pretty great feeling, eh? Congratulations!! I'm really looking forward to seeing the plane and I can't wait to get some shut-eye while YOU fly YOUR airplane....(Hey now)!!! See 'ya Friday,
GeorgePerry Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Dave Glad it worked out for you, enjoy the new plane. Based on your decision I'd imagine you were happy with JR & Jim at Aerodyne. ATB, George
MooneyMitch Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 WOW!! It's just so great! Congratulations on your dream come true.
co2bruce Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Congratulations on your new plane. I hope she brings you much happiness. Your world just became a smaller place. p.s. She's a beauty
PTK Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Steve. Congtratulations!! Hope you thoroughly enjoy this great airplane! I know you will! Now you need a hangar with a fridge for the beer!
Cris Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Steve That looks to be a great choice!! Congradulations You should be able to get years out of that A/C without needing to put upgrade $'s into it. The avionics, paint & interior are quite impressive. You are a smart buyer. Good luck!!
bnicolette Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Congratulations on your new "baby"!! The 201 is such a great efficient performer. You're going to love it.
Guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 I also know how you feel, I had that new to me airplane feeling almost 17 years ago when I bought my runout little old C model. May sound crazy but after all these years I still have that same feeling every time I jump into my mooney. Congrats, enjoy
NotarPilot Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks everyone, only upgrades planned for the immediate future are shoulder harnesses and maybe some LED Nav lighting.
KSMooniac Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 You got the best model! Just run a bunch of 100LL through her and try not to hurt your face smiling all of the time.

Seth Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 Congratulations! You made a great choice and you'll love your Mooney. I still enjoy looking out almost every flight at the edge of the wing and just think about the fact that we are indeed flying. Again, congratulations. -Seth
