Entropy Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 I’m new here, and in the midst of a search for a pre-J Mooney of my own. I am 90% sure this is the plane that will best fit my mission and budget, but… I haven’t been able to fly/sit in one yet. By chance is there an experienced Mooney owner in my area willing to take me for a spin and impart some of your Mooney wisdom to a “new kid”? I am stationed at KSRB in middle TN, have 80hrs flight time in an Archer, and tired of renting the trainer (only option at my location). Thanks for your help! Quote

I'm not sure about middle TN, but someone will usually offer a look-see for a prospective Mooniac. Quote
Pinecone Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 What's there to do in the area? I could be convinced to fly down for something interesting. Quote
Tim-37419 Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 We used to have a mooniac at SRB. I looked at his plane, a M20K, when it was for sale. IIRC, he replaced it with a C310. @Entropy - I'm based at FGU, if no one jumps in, DM me late next week. 1 Quote

Expand @Pinecone Sadly, probably not much to pull you down. A fair bit of hiking in the area, but otherwise nothing “must see”. Quote
