Paul Thomas Posted March 31, 2024 Report Posted March 31, 2024 (edited) I just closed on a J Mooney that will be based in SWFL. I'm attaching the obligatory airplane and panel photos. I'll get the 2 hour insurance checkout tomorrow and then I look forward to enjoying my new, to me, airplane around and meeting other members. Happy Easter! Paul Edited March 31, 2024 by Paul Thomas 6

Schllc Posted March 31, 2024 Report Posted March 31, 2024 Nice setup! The prop looks like it’s painted red? I’ve never seen that before, but it’s a nice touch. think I heard you on the radio Friday. I’m based at KAPF. 2

Paul Thomas Posted April 6, 2024 Author Report Posted April 6, 2024 Now that I'm checked out, I'll have to fly to the lunch group and meet some of the local pilots. I'll be based at PGD for the time being; I'm hoping to eventually get a hangar/tie down at FMY but neither are available as of now. On 3/31/2024 at 6:52 PM, Schllc said: Nice setup! The prop looks like it’s painted red? I’ve never seen that before, but it’s a nice touch. think I heard you on the radio Friday. I’m based at KAPF. It's painted to match the trim of the airplane. I'm attaching a better photo. It seems all previous owners, including the previous MooneySpace member were good caretakers. I have a couple of minor squawks that I want to address, but it went through the inspection/annual without issues.
