Captain Meritflyer

[meritflyer]

Well, I am offically a captain of my own bird (kind of like Forrest Gump and his shrimpin' boat).

I bought a beautiful Mooney 231 recently.

Pictures to follow. Thanks to everyone on here who talked me through a lot of questions I had.

Don't laugh if you see this pilot sportin' that hat (any XJT pilot will understand 'the hat') on the GA ramp.

Big pimpin'!

Congrats!

So I take it you didn't follow through with the Arrow? What turned you off from that?

 

[Crockrocket94]

Probably the lack of speed. Haha

Big congrats Captain!

Enjoy

I did my complex in the M20J series. Loved it! Loud inside, but that is what a good headset is for. The speed remains after the ANR does it's job!

Enjoy the new bird.

Kind of sad that you didn't consider any of my recommendations.

Congrats on the new plane. You will like the 231! They are fun!

Congrats!

Don't forget the old saying, "The two happiest days in an aircraft owner's life are the day he buys his aircraft and the day he sells it."

Pics?
