Mitch and I were holding hands on our first date at the pier in Santa Cruz, CA.  As we walked a plane flew over... we both spun around and he said "That's a 172" and I said "That's a 172 RG"  We knew we were meant for eachother!

Hello group. My name is Alan and I am an aviation addict.

[mooneygirl]

HELLO ALAN....you are also an airplane owner!

Hi: My name is Russ and I too am an aviation addict.

it has been 25 years since i had any cash in my pockets because i spend it all on my Aviation addiction.

And i have no intention of going into re-hab!

Hi:  My name is Lew and I am an aviation addict.  I've been too long between fixes (two weeks).  Weather and sinuses have been holding me back.  I hope to fix again next weekend.  I need desperately to mainline my Mooney.

[Ned Gravel]

OK, here goes.

I bought my Mooney in 2005 and in 2006, my MSC, Tri-City Aero at CYKF Kitchener, Ontario, hosted a MAPA Technical Workshop with Jerry Manthey.  So I went, as did about 25 others.  Mostly Mooney drivers but one or two mechanics (we call them AME's in Canada).

So there we are in Clarence's spotless hanger, surrounded by Mooneys, seated at our tables and we start introducing ourselves and it went exactly as folks are doing in this thread......  "Ahem.... (stands up)   ....Hi.  My name is Ned and I am a Mooney driver.....  (looks around the room sheepishly and sits down...."  And that went on for about 2/3rds of the introductions there.  We looked like an AA meeting and this was our time to "come clean."

Got my fix yesterday.  Today, I am in Southfield, Michigan, having spent 2 hours and 45 minutes flying to Troy Oakland (KVLL) from Ottawa (CYRO) on business. 

S'OK.  I'm good now for a couple of days or so....

If you look in the dictionary under Mooney Airplane Addict, you will see my photo!

[skyking]

If i didnt spend all my money on flying ( and my cars) i could have retired 5 years ago!

I think it would be cheaper to be hooked on anything else....

But i would rather work than not own a plane...LOL

Is it wrong that the sofa in my hangar is nicer than the one in my living room?

[skyking]

Sven: No. I would expect nothing less...LOL

After all is'nt everybodys?

[skyking]

Does anybody besides me have license plates for the car that matches their tail numbers?

How about buying a triumph spitfire because a plane has the same name?

The plates on my car are C-FVAA , and the car is a spitfire!

[mooneygirl]

My cell phone number is the same as my tail number...and I drive a Sky Roadster, which has just about as much room as my Maggie II!

[skyking]

yup...we are all addicts for sure....

Hello, My name is Bob.  I only flew 12 hrs this week.  I never use more than one logbook page per week.

I do not have a problem!

When you spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out the best way to make a Mooney out of a couple keystrokes.

Pretty bad huh?

[Barry]

Where can I get a license plate frame like that ??

[skyking]

Barry: Most pilot shops have plate frames with all kinds of sayings on them

mine reads " support your local bank, buy a plane"

 

 

[FlyingAggie]

I want the one that says "My other vehicle is a Mooney and goes faster than 200 MPH"
