I know Mooneys have a loyal following for good reason as they are great performing aircraft. It's a bit surprising that they have maintained a single passenger door through the many years of M20's through the Acclaim. I would think the focus on convenience and safety in higher-end GA aircraft...
Hey guys! I’m wrapping up my IR at KGAI with Pilot in Training, and I am relatively new to the local aviation community since I’ve been in the DC area for about a year.
Reason for the post is I’m starting to get more serious about purchasing my first aircraft. Mooney M20’s are at the top of my...
Toccoa is situated in North Georgia and was used during WWII as a training base for the paratroopers. It was the setting for the first Band of Brothers episode. We flew our Mooney there to check out the Currahee Military Museum and the Currahee Mountain.
What’s the best treatment for the flying itch? Going flying of course! In this video I go over how I got into aviation. And if you came from a non-aviating family, leave a comment in the video on what inspired you to become a pilot?
In this video, we look at a Mooney M20C that has been converted to a E model. And some interesting stories about the restoration. At the end of the Fly-In, it was time to fly back home.

I recently decided to test, which one is faster. Dropped a video of the trip on YT. This was a flight through busy Atlanta class bravo. Let me know in the video comments if you like the “24” style format. Had a lot of fun flying and creating the video.
Hello fellow forumers, I just wanted to introduce myself to the forums.
I'm Caleb Greene and own an FAA Certified avionics facility at Cable Airport in Upland, CA. Recently, but not so recently, Dynon has come out to the certified market and are pushing production for STC in many single and...
So I've been hunting for a plane for months now and I'm down to these. My mental debate right now is operating costs. The vintage Mooney M20 C or E with the manual johnson bar gear and constant speed prop...how much more do these factors add in maintenance costs versus a fixed gear Grumman...
hi,
I am looking for someone in the Vegas area who has a Mooney or a 6 seat single to fly with. I am interested in purchasing one day and want to get some experience in a large Piper or Cessna and also interested in a Bonanza. Willing to pay the pro rata share!
Thanks
Good Afternoon,
I would like to take off someone's hands any sort of aviation scrap. Experimental plane that took a hard landing? Caught fire on the ground? Blown over in heavy wind? Prop strike? Stolen/somehow destroyed?
I am in no way trying to take advantage of an incident which resulted...
Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is looking forward to the day full of festivities with friends, family and guests this Independence day. As I get closer to my private pilot check ride, I have begun to look into complex aircraft training *For personal experience before advanced endorsements*. To...
It has come time to part ways with my Mooney. We've proven the concept and it's time to upgrade.
In my 6.5 years of owning this plane, I've put on 350 hours on it.
It is a 1966 M20E, serial number 935. The registration shows 1965, but by serial number, it's a 1966 model. Here are the specs...
My partner and I have zeroed in on an M20K as our plane of choice.
We were contemplating several different models in the M20 series, but as part of our individual missions, we will both need to fly from the Midwest over the Rockies, and the Turbo seems like a must-have for that. I have owned in...
I have been researching the idea of buying an aircraft for training purposes. I would like to buy with a partner to relieve some of the maintenance cost. Partner does not have to be in training.
Thinking of getting a cheap C150 for a maximum of 25k-30k.If I can find a decent C172 or Piper, IFR...
I am located in St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, I own a Mooney M20E I need a cfi to get me trained for my ppl. Currently using King school online and jeppesen books for ground school studying. Have some flight time, 10hrs. My offer is, I will supply room and board, and a vehicle and your hourly...
So I have been going back and fourth on a Mooney M20A 1960 for the last week. My only concern is the wings are wood. Ive read both good and bad about wood wings but for some reason I would still feel more comfortable with metal wings. I actually today just came across a guy who is parting out...
Here is a recent air to air photo shoot with a Mooney. I'm always looking for more subjects. If you're in NY, NJ, CT, MA, RI, or VT and interested in an air to air photoshoot, let me know.
Mission:
2 seats and a little baggage.
300+ nm X-Country + IFR.
The most bang-for-the-buck seem to be experimentals.
I thought the Thorp T-18 was the perfect answer: great performance, simple, low cost of entry...
Until I sat in one recently.
I'm not huge...6' and 180lbs, but my knees were...
