The Gathering of Mooneys is a general fly-in. It has been going on for several years.  The original concept was from Michael Golden-Mountain West Aviation and Mark Rouch from Top Gun Aviation, after attending an event at LASAR. The Gathering will have educational opportunties as well as time to just relax and hang out.

The August event is a Mooney Ambassador event. An Ambassador event is a bit more involved because we are displaying, talking with the public, giving tours of our beautiful Mooney airplanes, giving interviews, press and the like.   Just a little different as our mission is to support our company, to promote general aviation and to have someplace fun to fly.

Lake in The Sky Airshow is August 28th at South Lake Tahoe.   Gathering of Mooneys South Lake Tahoe is June 19th.  All Mooneys are invited to each event.   However, the airshow segment of Mooneys is limited to 12 Mooneys per the Airshow event planners.  Fun!!!!

Is this event (the Gathering of Mooneys) still set for June 19th? Or has it been moved due to the conflict with the Columbia Father's Day Fly-in? If there is a new date, is it expected that it will still take place at the South Lake Tahoe Airport?

Thanks!

Hi Michael, we are leaning toward the last weekend in June for the Gathering of Mooneys.  That way, we don't have to choose between Columbia and Tahoe!  Hope you can make it to Columbia!  It is always such a fun event.  And it will be super special to be participants this year as Ambassadors.

Just in case you haven't checked the schedule yet, a new addition is

 

Wings Over Marin 50th Anniversary of the Marin County Airport, In conjunction with International Learn to Fly Day, May 15, 2010  Gnoss Field, in Novato, CA. Mooney Airplane Company will be in attendance with an Acclaim Type S. Mooney Ambassadors will be on display at this community focused to get people inspired about aviation.  Static display of historic as well as current and event futuristic aircraft. Flyovers of war birds. Seminars on a variety of topics like "How to get your private pilot license". Dedication of historical plaque.

-----Vintage Mooney Group -----

 

The VMG, established in 2003, is the current longest running and largest Mooney Flying Group in the world. We are 400+ members strong. There are several other Mooney flying groups and we encourage those groups to continue to get Mooney owners to fly their airplanes to new or old destinations on a regular basis and meet with new and old friends.

Our proposed June fly-in to the Lake Tahoe area this year will be our third straight. This year, the VMG fly-in will be at the Minden-Tahoe Airport on June 18-20. Our host, Mike Jacobs, is based at this airport and has suggested several new adventures , including Virginia City, that can be easily accessed from this location, just minutes from Lake Tahoe.
