The Parade of Planes sounds like it'll be interesting. I registered at www.paradeofplanes.com. So how does the Mooney Ambassador thing fit into it? Are we all going to park together somewhere or something? Sure, it's in my neighborhood, but I'll probably fly in anyway if I can; driving to an aviation event seems gauche.

 

[mooneygirl]

Thank you for the question.  I will have more details as to how the Mooney Ambassadors are participating in the Parade of Planes early next week.  I will post all details as they are available.  We would be outside for sure, as I believe the indoor space is for the Acclaim.

Thank you for your interest, and check out our video on YouTube for our Jackson/Westover event.

I'm not on facebook, so if I can make a request it would be to cross post information here in addition to facebook.

At the Hayward event, do you know if we'll be able to park anywhere near the event?

 

[mooneygirl]

Hi there

You do not have to be "on" face book to see the information, photos and videos.  I am not sure how to load videos onto MooneySpace, but would be happy to do so if possible.

Here is the link for FB:  http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=132057967005

 

For Parade of Planes....Mooney Airplane Company will be there with a beautiful Acclaim.  This is not a formal Mooney Ambassador event.  If you would like to go as an individual, you are more than welcome.  Registration for this free event is at Paradeofplanes.com.

I think I will be there on Saturday, but the ramp is not available for our parking/displays.

When I go to your link I am prompted for a login. That indicates to me that one has to be "on" facebook to see your pages.

Jolie, I think there is an option to make Facebook albums publically-visible somehow...you might dig around a little more and try to find that.

[mjc]

The facebook link worked for me; I'm able to view the page. I'd still appreciate it if new videos are posted here, or at least a note that the facebook page is updated, since facebook non-members won't get that automatically.

 

 

[mooneygirl]

Hmmm

I tried the link with two friend who do not use FB, they were able to get in....  I will do some more checking. We will be on Mooney.com soon, and you can also go to the YouTube videos, but I still think that FB page is cool. Sorry for the trouble.

The Ambassadors are flying to Minter Field, Shafter CA this Saturday.  I think we have five or six Mooneys coming.  If you would like to come and display, please contact me as soon as possible.  Email: MooneyAmbassadors@charter.net    If you would just like to come and say hello, eat some pancakes and have some fun, we will be displaying near the fuel island.

Ok Guys,. I have the first Canadian Ambassadors function.

May 30th Saint Paul AB.

This is their annual fly in breakfast sponsored by Writewing aviation.

This is the guy that does all my service etc, and he has invited me to "do our thing"

Joile, can you send me some more business cards etc. I have handed out most of mine.

And any advice, pamphlets for Mooneys you can part with etc, that would help.

Actually any advice anybody has would help!

Tks

Hi Russ,

I sent you the PPP--Point Person Packet by email. It has templates for the display tags, prop tags, and lanyards. As well there is company history and announcer information.  I will contact Susan Harrison at Mooney and see who your sales rep is, they are usually the contact for brochures about Acclaims/O's. 

Fun fun fun! I wish I could be there!

You might wish to take a look at the "How To" video on youtube:

 

You might want to look at GA Serves America, as they have great things to say or point out to folks at airport days/airshows.

http://www.gaservesamerica.com/resources.html

All in all, there is nothing to it. Have fun, celebrate general aviation and support Mooney. What a great day.  Take photos and video and we can work out something fun so we can all feel like we are there.

[mooneygirl]

Here are some fun events coming up. Please register on the website or shoot an email back to MooneyAmbassadors@charter.net with the location you will be attending.
Have fun, fly safe, take photos!

Events:

Elko, Nevada Sky Fair September 11th, 2010  The purpose of Sky Fair is to showcase general aviation at the Elko Regional Airport. So this goal is directly in line with our Mooney Ambassadors mission.
It is intended to be educational and fun for the general public who normally do not have access to J.C. Harris field and aircraft. The event will be held on Saturday September 11th, 2010 on the same weekend as the Elko MoRodders Car Show. We will also have pilot goody bags and a fuel discount.  Will also do an informal VIP BBQ Friday night the day before the fly in.The event is FREE to the public and goes from 8 AM to 4 PM.  Point Person:  Randy Powell

Edenton, NC Northeastern Regional Airport, September 25
Point Person: Amelia Reiheld sure would love to have a gathering of Mooney Ambassadors there, so all you Mooney drivers, plan to join us in beautiful historic , for a fly-in/community open house at Northeastern Regional Airport. It'll probably run from 10-5 or so. We hope to have area military big-iron, both static and fly-over demos, RC demos, food vendors, free airplane rides, exhibits from charitable flight organizations, etc. Camping and airplane parking are (as always) free, though you'll need to bring your own tie-downs. If camping and fair-food isn't your style, reserve a car with Enterprise, and book a room in one of the wonderful B&Bs   in and around Edenton. There are some excellent restaurants, too. If Mama would rather tour the colonial historic sites and shop than talk airplanes, we'll find a ride into town.

 Mariposa Airport EAA event, September 25, 2010

2nd Mooniacs Fly-In Oxford

An EMPOA event not to be missed

Check out the photos for all the details, as the original press release was in french!

[DaV8or]

Oh man, that looks good. Would love to go. Have fun everyone!

[MooneyMitch]

Hi Dave.

It's not Oxford, but think about joining us in support of Mariposa airport, Sept. 25th.  BBQ for us Ambassadors after the event that day. 

[FlyingAggie]

We had a great Mooney Ambassador get together at the Rocky Mountain Regional Fly-In last weekend (28-29 August) in Denver.  We had five Mooney's on the hot ramp, which included a E, F, J, K and M.  We were able to "share the passion" with the public, who had easy access to our planes.  One 11 year old boy wanted one of the Mooney Ambassador autograph because he thought his plane looked so "sweet".

I have posted a few of the pictures in FlyingAggie's gallery on MooneySpace and some additonal pictures are also at http://picasaweb.google.com/111183442850042080606/RMRFI#

If you have not participated in a Mooney Ambassador event, do!

[mooneygirl]

Let's all get together at AirVenture 2011.  First off ArtCraft Painting and the Mooney Ambassadors are sponsoring Mooney Happy Hour 12-2 at the Building C hospitality room. Come have a cool drink and meet old/new friends. 

Our presentation: PGA Squared is on Thursday July 28th at 10:00 a.m. at EAA Museum's [airconditioned!] Vette Theater.

Lt Dan Band is Friday night at the Theater in the Woods. I am going to try to save a row of seat for those with tails on in correct way.

"Lt Dan Band is Friday night at the Theater in the Woods. I am going to try to save a row of seat for those with tails on in correct way."

You'd better get to the Theater in the Woods pretty darn early Friday Ms. Lucas in order to do that!  At least close enough where we can see the stage! 

[1964-M20E]

While not an official Mooney Ambassador event yesterday I went to the airport with my son and one of his friends.  His friend had never been up close to a small airplane before or even on a commercial flight.  I let him get in told him about the controls, instruments and radios.  Unfortunately it was too wet, rainy and nasty yesterday to go up for a quick flight.  He seemed excited about going flying.
