Righto Mike, although the NJ Mooney is in the title, I didn't put in the body of the message.  The Ambassadors are just helping with the advertising and "know how". One of the 2012 goals for the Mooney Ambassadors is "Mooney Ambassadors Care"  a challenge for Mooney owners or lovers to add a charitable aspect to a current aviation event, or to start an event from scratch like Toys for Kids fly-in.  Kudos to you all!


I didn't realize you have a web page. Cool

We'd really appreciate it if folks in the northeast could post these at their homefield and when they're out for a $100 hamburger. We really hope to be able to extend our invitation far and wide and get as many Mooneys from around here together to enjoy this event. We have some excellent speakers lined up and will be sharing those details once confirmed.

I want to be there but cannot make the 12th!  I hope for your hard work that it does not rain, but I can be there the 13th.


Great job Mike.

No problem Seth. Wish you could have made it. Can you do me a favor and post our flier around anyway and mention it to other Mooney pilots? We really could use the biggest turn out we could get!

This is shaping up to be a great opportunity for folks to get together. We have confirmed John Pallante who instructs at the Mooney Saftey Foundation and will speak on the new cockpit technologies. John will kick off the event at 10AM so you guys might like to come early. The Naval Museum has offered up its ready room for John's presentation and it is open to all attendees at no cost. The folks From the Toys for Kids program will be grilling the burghers and taking photo's of the A/C and the kids next to the planes. These will be uploaded to their site for everyones pleasure. More to come.... Be an ambassadore, help out the needy & come join the fun!!

Hi Folks With less than a week to go for the NE Mega Moooney Fly in sponsored by the NJ Mooney Group to benefit the Atlantic County NJ Toys For Kids program I thought an update would be due. We are planning a fun family event at Cape May County Airport in Cape May NJ. The flyer and detail are attached but in addition we will have a semina on the Ipad for Pilots presented by John Pallante MAPA

Just got a call from the Mooney Mega flyers Weather God. It has been declared to be perfect VFR flying weather for Sat May 12th. Also for those with kids or for those who are kids at heart. We have confirmed a II trailer with games for the youngsters or oldsters. There is a rumor that it might contain some aircraft sim typ games- just a rumor.

Cris that is excellet news.  I was debating on whether to invite my boys along or not.  More than likely one will want to come and now I know that they will have a good time as well.  Thanks so much for setting all this up guys!!!


Is that the same "wx god" that examiners use during checkrides to order up turbulence?  Yell

To all- I asked and Patrick volunteered to call everyone in the NJ Mooney Group to make sure they would be attending the Toys for Kids & Mega Mooney Fly in on Sat. As you know this event is open to all pilots and aircraft but the NJ Mooney group is the sponsor. Patrick E-mailed me on Wens saying he was "on It" so I hope everyone will make a special effort to attend. It is the last thing Patrick did for our group. In remembrance I'd like to suggest a moment of silence tomorrow . There may even be some that would allow us to share a story or two about Patrick. There will be a tent in front of where we will park our Mooney's so that is a place to congregate. John Pallante's I-pad for pilots presentation will start between 10 & 10:30 in the ready room. Hopefully we will collect the toys and make the donations it in Patrick's memory. Regards Cris
