Caleb Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Hello, Mooney Community! I'll be closing on an M20D tomorrow morning. First airplane, quite excited. Just introducing myself, as I'll likely be using the forum as a familiar resource on the regular moving forward. Caleb C. Mitchell, 39, from Hebron, Nebraska. Just earned my private license this month. Will primarily be using the aircraft to visit my parents and haul my father back and forth for cancer treatments (Loveland CO to Houston TX). Will also use for personal business. Hopefully the occasional "just for fun" trip. The bird is N6631U. Cheers! 9

Hank Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Congratulations and welcome! Photos are always appreciated. Enjoy your first flight home!
Marc_B Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Congrats! Next step, get your instrument rating in your Mooney! Great addition to travel and safety. There’s a great Mooney crew in Colorado. Hit us up sometime when you’re in Loveland.
DonMuncy Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Congratulations. It is wonderful to see young guys like you in our Mooney ranks. 1
Flyler Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Welcome! You're going to love your Mooney, though I'm sure you already do
NickM20F Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 I’m in almost the same boat! Maybe 6 months ahead of you. Based out of Houston. Where do you fly in to? Maybe we can meet up some time
Jetpilot86 Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Do a fair amount of 20V-CLL. Welcome to the club
PBones Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Welcome to the club! If any other pilots tell you that your tail is on backwards, tell them: "It straightens out when I pass you at 200mph"! 2 2

They will never look at their airplane the same again. 1
