Need Good Mooney CFI around Ft Worth TX

I have a M20J SE that I purchased to do my fixed wing add-on (I already have my private helicopter ticket.)


There are no Mooney CFI's that I can find around here (please do not recommend Jerry Johnson, he refused to teach me from the get go---he's actually the co-pilot in a small jet with the guy I bought my Mooney from)


Seems like every CFI around here is Cessna specific, and will not teach you in your own plane.


Any help would be appreciated.

Ed Morris in Little Rock is very good.  I don' know what he charges but he does travel to his clients location.  He owns a 201 and has 38,000+ hours TT.  PM me if interested and I will get his contact information sent to you.

Based out of Bourland Field (50F) southwest of Ft Worth. Plane will be back soon from Don Maxwell in Longview.


My Cessna CFI helped me propstrike my nice plane. Now I get a new MENA engine and MT prop (plus paying an arm and a leg for "betterment").

Jerry Johnson .  Look him up at www.mapasafety.com .  He is one of the MAPA PPP instructors and a truly great fellow.  I think he still lives in Ft. Worth.


They are not hard to land, but they are not Cessna's.

By the way... where are the photos of your new plane?!?!?!?!?


We're being too nice- half a dozen posts being helpful and not a single one demanding photos?

Parker is always up in that neck of the woods leaving his plane at Maxwells, for extended periods of time. Get him to take you up.  :)

I find it very curious that a CFI would outright refuse to teach you, particularly if he's active with MAPASF.  What reason(s) did he give?

It would be interesting to hear why Jerry Johnson, who has been a valuable Mooney supporter for decades, turned the OP down from the get go.


Got to be more to this story.

This is actually his co-pilot's (Buddy Brown's)  plane, Jerry has flown this particular plane many times.


They used this plane to chase the jet when it goes to maintenance at Meacham. 


Jerry told me he was not taking on students right now, but would give me some pointers later own after my transition.


Previous owner begged him to help me, but he refused.

I was thinking of Johnson. But I talked to his son and he says he might be able to make the trip up there. He is going to check in on the forum later today and maybe he will pm you. Hi Magic.
