Mooney Bravo's are fast, that's for sure. They are turbo'd so be careful on the maintenance if you aren't familiar already. The catch is useful load/payload; you won't be getting much of it. Usually less than 1,000lbs and it depends on which configuration you get. If you get AC and/or TKS, it'll...

Congratulations! This is a really cool achievement.

I really enjoy your photos that you take. Would you mind sharing some of your processes to capture these? I assume you're using both 1DX's simultaneously, each with one of the lenses mentioned in your signature, depending on what shot you're going for? What do you fly in to capture these? These...

Congrats! SES seems like a lot of fun. Hopefully you'll get to use it and enjoy it.

It was up briefly last night and then it went back down. I know they recently did a software upgrade so that may be part of it.

"I used a non-statistical sampling of POA users to determine that Mooney will not succeed" is an interesting take.

When I bought my Mooney I had maybe 80 hours total time and I wasn't instrument rated and my insurance was ~$650/year. That was in 2013; insurance rates have gone up a lot since then across the board. But to answer your question, yes you can get insurance. They may require a check out or a...

Why wouldn't you want an aircraft manufacturer to succeed? Their success is a net positive for general aviation. I reject the premise that rooting for their success requires I be part of the solution. I'm not the target market for a brand new Mooney or any brand new aircraft, but that doesn't...

I'm not sure how this is a problem. Cessna, Piper, and Beechcraft have all been using the same designs in some form for the same amount of time and yet Piper is still selling new Archers, Cessna is still selling new 172's, and Beechcraft is still selling new straight tail Bonanzas. They may not...

I'm hopeful that this will work out and I wish them the best. Unfortunately their track record as of late hasn't shown them to be achieving much success. As a Mooney owner and a Mooney fan, I'd certainly like to see things like a retrofit gross weight increase or purpose a re-purposing of some...

The FAA requires airshow performers to have a Statement of Aerobatic Competency (SAC) in order to do that. https://www.avweb.com/features/so-you-want-to-be-an-airshow-pilot/ https://fsims.faa.gov/wdocs/notices/n8900_356.htm

You can always start at the beginning of the Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain, GA. There are shuttle services that will take you to the trail head or pick you up. There are several airports in the area that would work. 49A, KJZP, KCNI, and KDZJ to name a few.

If you hike some of the bigger trails, a lot of places offer rides to/from the trailheads for a small fee. Some airports allow you to land and camp/hike starting from the airport. What do you fly and what area do you want to backpack in?

This must be a rerun; the Red Bull Air Race was canceled after the 2019 season.

Glad it worked out and we could all have lunch. Little bumpy on the way back and dodged some storms, but it's that time of year.

I'll be headed to the airport soon so I will see you all there. Planning to arrive around the same time as @Bill Jennings.

Weather looks good so I should be there.

If weather holds I should be able to make it.
