Nothing screams aviation (Ok, maybe that's a stretch) like a Mooney squatting on the ramp. A Comanche is a distant second lol......Think I'll go read some old Bax Seat articles.

Short final M93. Then over to M21 to see my old buddies. Stopped in at 2M0 (Caldwell Co) Princeton Ky, courtesy car over for some of the finest pizza in the area. Plus I deliver for my bro lol :)

With endurance its not the miles but the time that matters. 4 hours max in my Cherokee.

Killing some time before feeding the critters. Mounted a GoPro for a belly cam view. Have more videos from the flight to mess with. Short clip entering downwind.

Some pics from one of my favorite areas to just put around. Tennessee River New Johnsonville/ Sugar Tree areas

Lol. I was going into IFP Laughlin one time in a Mooney Ranger. There was a Beech Crutches who #1 on the descent. That’s until I traded altitude for airspeed. Enter the new sheriff lol. Meh, I’ll forget the time me and a Bo were departing Harris Ranch. When I rotated, they were loading. Ate me...

Beautiful morning along the blue TN River. Turning right base Houston Co.

Not a pic but a crappy video resolution wise. Climbing out of ground effect in the F-4 (20) years ago at China Lake.

Actually it’s a turn coordinator. Flying 3’ off the wing of Cherokees, Saratoga’s and Grumman’s. They all can’t be flying crooked and in formation the AI dips like the pic. Weird.

Needle and ball. Visual cues. Heading.

Yes, it’s had the issue before annual.

Haven’t noticed any variances.

I mentioned earlier the AI has had the same issue for a while. I see no reference filter for vac were changed but if required I’m confident it would have been. Suction smudge over 5. No troubleshooting otherwise.

During steep 360 turns it’s spot on.

Not a Mooney. It’s a Cherokee 140. I used to bump around in. 70 Ranger. Aircraft was rigged last year with no change in AI. Needle and ball centered

Level straight flight. They tried rotating in slots no joy. Don’t know about whether it was level. Same indication on the ground.

It was just Overhauled and certified. Same result

Just got my plane back from annual. Pulled the AI and had it overhauled and the problem is still there. She has a dip to the left. Suction is fine. We are starting to think static line? Appreciate comments sans (Should of gone G5 crowd lol) Pic below is in straight level flight.

Missing log books. Some say they are worth up 25% of aircraft value Antiquated Panel Depending on make and model AD's

You hit the exact reason I retired at 56. I have seen my peers drop in their 60's, just wanting to hang on at work just a little longer. I left to enjoy what life had to offer other than punching the clock so to speak. Come July it will be 4 years now. Glad I left when I did. Like the stock...
