I am looking forward to this.  KPRB is a great location for a fly-in.  The last one was great fun.

Sadly, this is a bit too far . . . .

Nowhere is too far in a Mooney :-)

[Pinecone]

Heck, I am further east and looking at making the trip.

 

2109 straight line. 15 hours and 174 gallons at this time.

11 1/2 hours 150 gallons 2135 straight line. Gotta figure out a way.

Too bad it's not right before or after the MAPA PPP @ KSMX.   But that's in early April.

Hey neighbor.  We are based pretty close together.

No wind I would be 12 hours and about 130 gallons.

1700+ NM, and some big, tall rocks that will keep my little C from taking that short path . . . .

Call it 13-14 hours and ~120 gallons going, and a little less on the return. That'd be two days going out, and a possible single long day coming home if the winds are nice.

Maybe someone should host an east coast version

[Danb]

Yep the Summit

If we can’t find a partner maybe we could hitch up. My wife generally goes but there’s no casinos in Texas, may limit her enthusiasm

For Dan, that used to be a single fill up…

not sure if his Acclaim has the same max fuel capacity….

 

Gotta love José’s extend fuel tanks!

 

Best regards,

This one is CA.

Mooney Max is in TX in September.

Any idea if there is lodging near the airport?  Ground transportation?  Rental cars if there’s a large turnout ?  Or do most folks fly out same day ?

A lot of the same people attend, but the Mooney Summit and MooneyMax are separate organizations; the Mooney Flyer was put together by the (former?) Vintage Mooney Group in California.

it's not, the Mooney Summit is a 501c3 charity that is established to provide education and support downed Mooney pilots families. Mooney Max and Mooney flyer are different completely and organized by different people. Camaraderie is a common deliverable by all, however

There are many hotels in the area and the FBO arranges rental cars (at least they did last time I was there).  I plan to arrive on Friday and stay until Sunday.
