Love that plane, great video !

Enjoyed that...

Block Island its the best place to fly into. The runway is too short for most jets. You get a ride into town and then ride a motorbike around the Island. There are practically no fences on the Island, mostly stone walls. The food is great, the view is outstanding. We've flown the Mooney from Caldwell, N.J. to Block in under an hour. Block Island is the coolest place to go to. Others without airplanes would need to make a three-day trip at least just to enjoy. We leave in the am and we're back before dark. I've heard that the actor Christopher Walken lives there. In the winter the Island is almost empty.

I know Im late to the party but love the wing view :-) very inspirational about ownership and flying. I getting back in and thinking of buying something to learn in.

Love the hat. Did 25 years NYPD retired for 3 now took some lessons with take flight I’m planning on going back.

Yes, the free coffee when fuelling your plane. You put $400 of gas in your tanks and you get a free coffee. I always found that funny, but always enjoyed the coffee!

I love mooney aircraft and I hope to get a M20j when I'm older and have the money. You just earned yourself a sub!

Did you know the Mooney wing will take over 12 Gs and the wing will not break off? The rivets will pop and the skin will warp, but the wing will stay on. A few years ago I was at a Mooney shop down near Trenton. There was a Mooney wing standing alone verticle against the hanger wall. I asked the shop owner why the skin and rivets were all popped off. He told me a pilot was flying IFR in the soup on autopilot about 17,000 ft. when the plane iced up, stalled and went inverted into a split S. The plane self-recovered at about 10,000 and the pilot was able to land it safely. The NTSB computed the wing took a max load of 12.4 Gs during the split S. I'm sure the physician pilot passed out during the ordeal, but it is amazing the wing with its single spar stayed on and allowed the pilot to fly another day? I can't think of any other civil production airplane whose wing would have taken over 12 Gs and not have broken off. Another reason why I love Mooneys.

Nice job. Just subscribed. Love your M20. Looking for my first plane to purchase. Been flying since 1972. Mooney might be the one. My buddy has a 201. Thanks for the video.

Wow can it climb. Great plane

Thank you for the great advice on learning to fly, about to get started myself and hope to one day own a Mooney

Very nice flight ,should make one flying to block island 😃😃😃🛫🛫

Great video! I learned to fly at KSWF (at AMR flight school) and KMGJ back in the early 90's. This brought back lots of memories. We used to fly up to 1B1 and have lunch at the golf course restaurant. The Hudson river valley is one beautiful place to fly. I bought my first plane (1979 Beech Sundowner) and kept it at KMGJ on the ramp! Your Mooney reminds me of a fellow MGJ pilot friend who used to keep it across from me on the ramp. He was ex-air force and used to take me with him and do aileron rolls! Such fun! We live in Cincinnati, OH now and still visit Orange County in my Piper Arrow to see friends. Really miss flying the corridor (we used to call it the "slot"), trips to Block Island, KMVY, KGON, Fishers Island, Montauk, Katama, and so many more! Subscribed and following! Keep up the great work and promotion of our passion!

Thank you for showing. Hopefully i can get the money for a mooney

You should purchase 3 D movie glasses for your twin attitude indicators.

Very nice flight in very nice aircraft. I'd probably leave gear down a little longer in just in case for this super long runway ;)

fellow mooney owner here, from Vermont (plane is at KLEB in NH). we should have a mini fly-in!

2:00 Noooo not yet!!!!

Question-did you train for your PPL at Take Flight? Also are you working on getting your Instrument Rating? Has not having it limited your flying? I want to fly longer trips but concerned about weather. Obviously.

You retracted the gear fairly early. I always thought you should keep the gear down until their is no more usable runway left. What are your thoughts on this?

Nice hat! LEO for 19 years here.

Great flight log and what a lovely well appointed M20C ... Mooney M20J driver :-) ... Is that a l-3lynx transponder ? How do you like it ?

At 5:55 with a carburated Mooney with a constant speed prop do we look for a manifold pressure drop or an rpm drop when suspecting carb ice during cruise? Just wondering.

would a mooney m20c mark21 be a good plane to purchase for ppl training?

What auto pilot does your acft have?

Hey, I don't really like that you switch views to outside on takeoff. People who watch aviation videos like to see the instruments, especially during important phases of flight. Also don't like that you add the insert outside view. It's distracting plus I don't think you need it since the view from inside your plane is already excellent. However, I realise some of your viewers might actually like it. I think you should do one of those KZfaq polls to get an answer. Reason being, I actually avoid watching your videos many times because of the view changes whereas I would always watch them if they weren't included. I find your inside camera placement to be excellent plus you have analogue gauges so I can easily read them. All I'm saying is that the view changes could be negatively affecting your views. Happy flying and filming man.
