I've had one on my Mooney 252 since the day I got it. It's an STC that was applied at the factory and it is a belt driven model while the primary is gear driven. I like it and I'm glad it's there but I don't much care to have it driven off of a very expensive starter drive (which I just...

Here in Dogpatch even the Chinese restaurant was closed on Christmas. With any luck....the Mayan calender is right.

Yup, finding one for rent is going to be tough. Heck, I had to buy my 252 before I could find anyone who could teach me to fly the thing. I'd much rather learn to fly a 252 than a 231 for a bunch of reasons and certainly rather own same. Make you a deal...you buy my 252 and I'll toss in the...

Flew about 400 hours for work with about another 100 for me. After twenty years of flying for work now flying purely for me. Yay! Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

This is my sixth year with my Mooney 252. She was a compromise when I bought her and is still a compromise today but for many different reasons. I love the performance and certainly the efficiency but as an airplane that's "fun" to fly? Naw. You can say a lot of great things about Mooneys and...

We've got three of them. Addicted? Sure but there are worse things. I love the convenience of having my office machine heating up water to make my cup of Donut Shop at almost the precise moment I walk through the door. Coffee is good. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

Yup it's a typo. NOTAM previously published to account for new controlling obstacle on final. Sorry if it came across smartassish but the get out of jail smiley face went in the reply title not the message. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

So having the circling mins lower than the straight in for CAT A bothers you? I'll call the branch lead in the AM. Thanks.

Geez that was a train wreck of a great time, wuzzentit?

Mari is a class act from the word 'GO'. She was one of the first people I ever chatted with back in the Babes and Airplanes days. Gave her an inadvertant driving tour of the greater OKC area soon after I moved there back in the day. I think she forgave me...didja Sis? She was my Burrito Sis...

Everything went pretty much as planned on Saturday with the weather hanging on just well enough to the end of the day. We had nearly 120 Young Eagle flyers spread over six aircraft flying including me with my Mooney. Other aircraft included a Piper Cherokee 6, a Cessna Cardinal, a P-210, a...

Yep, the TSIO-360MB-1 in my Mooney is a Western Skyways product. Things wear out...stuff breaks...but I've got no reason to complain about their workmanship.

Rocinante. Multiple choice for the reason: a. Don Qxiote's horse. b. John Steinbecks pickup truck in "Travels with Charlie" c. Ill fated spacecraft from one of my favorite Rush tunes. d. All of the above.

Jamie and I also want to thank Grant and Leslie for hosting such as great time at Air Venture. The food was terrific and it was a wonderful opportunity to get together at pretty much the center of the flying universe. POA has grown into far, far more than just an aviation themed web board for...

Lessee......RV blew a tire on the way back home. Couldn't keep the thing running at every stopsign/stoplight I came to due to some idle issue. Transponder became intermittant on the ride back to MI and died somewhere over South Bend. Remote gyro also has taken a dirt nap rendering my...

Somehow, I don't think so. :D

I'm coming up on my third Oshkosh adventure although my first one was actually work related. I had a great time in Warbirds last year (the rain challenged living and working arrangements were fun) and am really looking forward to this time around. I spent last year with T-34s and T-6s although...

Please, please, please REO......don't suck nearly as bad as Chicago did last year. Free is nice but being overly sucktastic....:hairraise: Maybe Styx will open for them?

I've seen the Packers play at Lambeau a couple of times now. Once versus the hapless Seahawks and the other versus what was my favorite team, the NY Giants. The game vs the Giants was the football equivalent of a bunch of hungry cats playing with a mouse. I had a great time both times as the...

Hey! It's my cousin from the old country! That's a German Flight Inspection aircraft.
