    Piper Comanche 250 vs Mooney M20F which one is better?

    What's it like to fly a Mooney M20K 231

    Is it true that the Mooney K's have more maintenance challenges because of the turbo? Correct me if I'm wrong but I read that Mooney didn't get it right in the earlier model K's

    Bonanza makes emergency landing but could this one be avoided?

    True! When someone says: "The Engine ran out of fuel, is what happened because the gauge read differently" It was Just you in the airplane and you are going from South Carolina to Iowa you are going to want to take off with full fuel especially in a F33A (74 Gals usable). You only made it to...
