"Honey" Mooney over Dents du Midi in the Swiss alps September 2001.
As you know, everything in aviation is a trade-off. The Mooney is a fast, fuel efficient aircraft. It is not the widest cabin and it doesn’t carry the best payload.
But for a businessman or a small family, it is a dandy airplane.
The best Mooney repair shop on the planet, Don Maxwell Aircraft, is on my home field, KGGG.
I don’t have a lot of Mooney time, but I have flown the Mooney Mite, the 201 and 231. The worst thing I can say about them is the tight cowling sometimes makes mechanics say bad words when working on them.
Otherwise known a the V-Tailed Dr Killer...
