My sarcasm was clearly lost on you.

Wait a minute, I bought my RV-8 from a guy in Birmingham, MI and my wife and I thought it was a real nice town! :)

Great trip, great pictures, great airplane!

Flying is a distant second behind what my wife costs me. Had I stayed single I'd be flying turboprops by now. :)

Lots of good advice here for the PCH. My favorite stretches are between Ferndale and Petrolia up north (the Lost Coast), and between Monterey and the Hearst Castle (Big Sur). Stop for lunch and a glass of wine at the Post Ranch Inn if you do Big Sur. You'll be treated to a spectacular view of...

Here's another fun twist: My wife got me a jigsaw puzzle of one of the RV photos for Christmas. Pretty cool!

Yes, Mitch does travel. You can contact him through his website at http://imagewerx.us/

Beech Baron for the Mooney and Cessna 182 for the RV.

These shots were taken in mid-October. We did the Mooney shoot over the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado near sunset, and the RV shoot along the Front Range just after sunrise. The photographer is Mitch Bowers.

We took some shots of my planes during the golden hour here in Colorado but the air up here is so dry that the sunlight never looks very warm. I'll post some in a separate thread.

Jack, your air-to-air work is outstanding. I've noticed that all of your shots have a very warm, reddish tone to them. Do you add that after the shoot?

Sounds like you have some gaps in your TKS coverage. I've been flying with TKS for 17 years, much of it in Northern California in weather similar to what you're experiencing now, and as long as the wing was wet ice would not accumulate.

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/01/06/african-airline-reports-drone-collision-passenger-jet/96237622/

I've been a Mooney owner since 2000 and absolutely love Mooneys. They're incredible traveling machines. With helpful winds and aggressive leaning I can fly my Acclaim nonstop from Denver to almost anywhere in the Continental U.S. in just over half a day.

In the last 12 months I put 44 hours on my Mooney and 23 on my RV. Surpassed the 1,500 hour total time mark, and logged my 900th landing. Most miraculously, my name bubbled to the top of the hangar list at Petaluma (O69), so now I have a nice T-hangar there. Not a bad year for me.

+1. I had one built to match the performance of my Acclaim 3 years ago and it's a big help for staying proficient flying coupled approaches on the G1000 (not to mention everything else you can practice with it).

I've flown in the J, K, R and TN. The seating ergonomics are very similar in all of them. The first thing I noticed when I got checked out in a J back in 1986 was how much closer you sit to the panel than in Cherokees and 172s, and also how much closer to the floor. Neither one bothered me, and...

I'd love to take you up in my Acclaim but it's in Colorado and I'm in Mexico. :) Post on MooneySpace that you're looking for an Ovation demo ride in your location. I'm sure someone will step forward to make it happen. My Acclaim is definitely a "button-pushing" airplane because it's designed...

I have a DJI Phantom 2 Vision + that I used to capture aerial footage of my sister's outdoor wedding. The wedding videographer coordinated with me and gave me a list of aerial shots that he wanted of the wedding, surrounding area, etc. He folded my footage into his and produced the finest...

I own a Mooney M20-TN and my former hangar mate had a Cirrus SR22-T. Both planes are 2008 models. We exchanged rides one day and I brought my wife along when we went up in the Cirrus. Afterwards I asked her what she thought about the Cirrus vs. my Mooney and she said, "The Cirrus is a plane you...
