PPI in Nebraska (Or Denver)

[chrisk]

I need to get a prepurchase done on a Mooney in North Platte Nebraska. I'm thinking of using Advanced Air in Council Bluffs Iowa, which is about 250 miles east. On the other hand, Denver is about 250 miles south west.

So, are there any recomendations for a great Mooney mechanic between Denver and Omaha

I bought my J from a guy in Crete Nebraska. For the pre-buy, I consulted a few different sources, including Silverhawk Aviation in Lincoln which is an MSC. But I also talked to Greg Whisler at Whisler Aviation in Seward NE based on a recommendation. Greg makes a business of dismantling and moving airplanes around, among other things, so I figured that with the pre-buy inspection list I provided to him (which I got from MAPA) he could do a good job and for less money. I was very impressed with the thorough but fair assessement he made, and there have been no surprises in the plane since I purchased it.

Some may call me a heretic for not saying "You must go to an MSC" but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Greg's number is 402-643-2226 if you want to give him a call. They have a website now too at http://www.whisleraviation.com.

I used Arapahoe Aero the MSC for Denver on the prebuy for both planes I have owned. I would recommend them highly.

I've had great experiences with Silverhawk. Not the cheapest, but extremely competent, on-time work performance, great communication and bills that are within estimates. Give Gene a call there. Advanced Air is OK, but not exactly the most on-time shop I've ever dealt with.
