Mojo Mike: I retired in 2019 and I was totally in the dumps and without direction. I was really feeling lost. Aviation was just a dream, a topic to kill time on KZfaq living vicariously thru others. One day I came across your channel and your various evaluations of the Czech Sportcruiser/PiperSport and other small GA aircraft. I became totally addicted to your channel and your enthusiasm, but more importantly your open humility about your journey into aviation. Watching a young black dude "reaching for the gold ring" in America, and having success, really struck a chord with me. You gave me clarity that the only thing standing between me becoming a pilot or not was myself. Within a year I had devoured all of your videos and a ton of other online aviation stuff, including Trent Palmer and Paul Bertorelli at AvWeb amongst others, and bought myself a PiperSport. In 2020 I got my certificate, and I just flew my 500th hour the other day. Without guys like you (especially you) and the other aviation content providers, I can guarantee you that I would never have become a pilot. Thank you so much. If you ever get to Northern California don't hesitate to reach out. With the greatest admiration and thanks! -PA

Mike...I'm impressed by your family values. Level up! Git that pressurization for da beeebees. I'm a father; I read you. ❤️

Wow Mike, I'm so proud of you bro. I've been following your journey for the past several years now. BTW, congrats to you, and your wife on your baby. I'll continue to watch your growth in the coming year. Best wishes!

That plane is beautiful. I dont have my pilot lisence yet, but if I did I would love to fly that thing. I adore that color. Can't wait to see what plane you pick up next.

While I'm happy to see you grow, and to dream more, I'm sad you're letting go of this beautiful bird. I'm one of those old subs that have been following your journey for a number of years. Congrats on your new baby. BTW - You inspired me to be intentional about lessons, and I'm proud to say my first lesson is on the 21st Jan 2023. Good luck, and all the Best Mike!!!

Congratulations, hope you continue to grow and improve. Good luck with your sale.

I’ve always loved watching that airplane. At the same time, as a business person, I understand the need to let assets go at the right time. You own your assets, don’t let them own you. Excited for what’s next.

Awesome journey. I hope the new owner understands what he/she is taking on. Every Aircraft/Owner have their history stamped into the Aircraft and thats what makes it special. Cheers on your new level !! LEVEL UNLOCKED.

I started out in general aviation and retired from the airlines as a 777 Captain. I enjoy watching your' channel and the joy of what you do. Your reviews are honest and informative. Life is a journey, be safe and keep learning and growing, that's the fun part.

II have always thought that that color is the most beautiful color that I have seen on small plane. I'm looking forward to seeing your next masterpiece of a customized plane..

Mojo Mike: Congrats to you and your wife. You were probably one of the first aviation sites I started to watch on KZfaq. I started watching every episode while you were building that beautiful airplane. I'm sorry to see you sell it but can understand why with the little ones. Whoever buys it (boy would I love to) is really buying a piece of you. All you need to do is point them to your channel (chances are they already subscribed) and that's all you'll need to say. I can't wait to see what happens next. I would also like to say congratulations on your flight school. I wish I lived close because there is nothing more I would like than to have you take me through my IFR. Good luck with your little ones and the flight school. I'll be watching with great anticipation. Take care Mike!

Such a beautiful plane. Someone else will get to enjoy all of the hard work you put into it. Looking forward to seeing what you end up with next.

I’m so happy and proud of what you have done. Really hope to get to meet you one day.. love the aircraft!!

All the best Mike in your future endeavours

Gorgeoous bird indeed!

This is my 1st time watching this channel... And I have to say what a pleasure it is to listen to such a well spoken smart and accomplished man like this......

Color code switches - Absolutely Brilliant

Proud of you man! Well done with the build and continued good luck and favorable winds sir.

Mike, congrats on the new baby. Looking forward to seeing your continued journey!!

Beautiful build...wish you the best Mike in future endeavors..

Thanks for videos Mike, they have inspired me to pursue flying, something I never thought was possible for me. Can't wait to see what you will be flying next. Much love from the UK

Congrats Mike on your new Bebe! Enjoy the next chapter. I really enjoy watching your content, keep up the good work and cheers to the 2023!

Good luck with your plans and plane 😊

Congrats on getting it done. Nice build.

I’ve followed you since your start and enjoy your concise and articulate descriptions and advancement in aviation. You followed your passion and found your groove. Safe travels Mike, and keep the greasy side down.

Wish you the best, good luck

Great reasons for selling the plane!!! Keep us posted. You're giving me some really good ideas for my future aviation plans.

Family comes first, so kudos to you. Just don't quit making videos. Good luck on all your endeavors!

Great job, Mike. Best of luck on your next project, whether aviation or not!

All we are happy for you Mike, keep your successful path.

I remember back when were doing plane reviews. Now you're selling your baby. Congrats on reaching this point. I know I wasn't a heavy follower of the channel, but it's still cool seeing how far your journey has taken you and where it's heading to. I wish you all the best on the sale of this plane and the purchase of the next one.

You are a true inspiration! I wish you every success with your ventures and you and your family a long and hasppy life!

A happy and prosperous new year to you and your family, Mike, from Sydney, Australia. May your flight school be very successful and you find the best aircraft for you and your family 😎

Well done Mike. It looks like it just rolled out of final assembly!!

Great young man 😊you’re living the dream I could not do to a medical condition

I have followed you for a long time. Congratulations to you and your wife, and I appreciate the honesty. If I had the money I would buy that thing in a heartbeat, it's a great bird. I love all the details you put into it and it's very well planned. I think you are doing a great job in life. Stay real and enjoy the time with the kids as much as you can!!

Congratulation and best wishes to you and yours. What a great ride you shared with us. Thank you, again.

That's a smooth looking ride. You are so blessed

Right on mike congrats and hope you and your family get the plane you want i bet its sad letting go what you put together but on the other hand a plane with pressurized cabin makes more sense and you can broaden your skills too

I love watching your videos Mike. I regret not introducing myself when I saw you in Oshkosh in 2021. Good luck to you and your family.

Great job Mike moving on and advancing on your career and investments Congrats on the new baby!

You can do it man!! Keep up the great work!

Mojo you did it Brother!,, and I know it’s hard to sell your custom built aircraft so Enjoy the incoming new year with your family and you have been blessed to continue with your carrier in aviation with your IFR rating to moving up to your next aircraft . Keep looking forward in life to seeing the success in your journey in 2023 Happy New Year.

Keep on moving upwards! I will be watching for the progress on the flight school and the plane you will be moving to.

Wow. Always a surprise, yet we always knew you are constantly stepping up and this day was inevitable. 661MG is a fantastic platform and will make the next owner very happy. We have struggled with our next upgrade. Always want faster and higher, but very few in that category maintain the chute option. (Vision jet doesn't fit our mission or accountants plans). Looking forward to your next steps (and I have an idea what it is but will reserve comment ...)

Good luck with the sale. Looking forward to what’s next.

It's worth every penny that the new owner gives for it! Good luck with the sale. I hope you build your next plane too!

Good luck Mike! Love this channel and man, you sure do inspire a lot of us to fly and keep flying. Well done and can’t wait to see what you do and fly next. I may want to come check out your flight school too! Cheers

Truly excited for your next journey

Wow. I wish you all the best. I can hear the excitement in your voice. 🙏🏽Keep grinding and it will happen.👊🏽✈️🛫

Mike, I'm just so proud of you. Can't wait to see what's next.

Thank you. You are so inspirational. I will be learning to fly soon.

Congrats Big Mike!

This would be a dream plane for me. Looking forward to the videos for when you look at getting your next plane!

That’s beautiful work, success to you!!!!

That is such a nice plane! After watching your videos with this plane for the last year and a half, if I had my pilots license already I would be calling you today to put in an offer

I can not wait to see what ya get!! Great job on your move to go higher into aviation!!

Good Luck!

Looking forward to seeing you in your brand-new, 6 seat, pressurised, turbine twin. Happy New year to you and your family, Mike.

Absolutely makes sense. I’m a long distance flyer and although my Baron B58 does the trip, still gotta fly in the weather. Going to pressurization myself. Congrats great plane and great plane!

Congrats man! Love your channel and love the Plane. It was cool watching the process of chosing the plane and the build process. Best wishes in your future endeavors.

Mike .. a big HELLO from CYQT. 👋🇨🇦👋 CONGRATULATIONS on continuing, expanding and growing your Aviation dream. THANK YOU for sharing your personal aviation journey and LOVE of GA aviation. You are a real inspiration. Wishing you every success into 2023 and on ward into the future.👍🙏👍 HAPPY NEW YEAR Sir.

a plane like this is a dream. good luck! i wish i could by this.

Hey Mike you are awesome man... the plane is awesome and you are a great inspiration to many. I know this must be bitter-sweet to let go such an awesome plane, but I feel you. I wish, hope and pray for your continued success. go for it!!

Push to start, just like a 1970s Grumman. :)

💯 keep going higher! Proud of you!

I saw your plane parked in front of Sling at KTOA a few months ago...took a discovery flight in Sling's TSi and was really impressed!

A beautiful little bird. I love that color & interior

Mike, I was the unofficial “copilot” of my dad’s Cessna 337. It had two NAVCOMs, ADF, glide slope indicator and autopilot. Your plane puts that 337 to shame. The auto prop pitch control, push button start GPS, 3 point seatbelts, Sirius XM and parachute weren’t even dreamed of in the seventies. The very paint gives the aircraft a natural metal look. It’s just a very beautiful aircraft! So when you announced you were selling your Sling I was shocked until you said the magic words”pressurized cabin”. So I’m excited to learn about the next stage of your advancement in general aviation and looked forward to your future videos.

GLWS Mike!!

Good luck! Sounds great!

Mike - all good reasons for sale and good luck with the asking price - we TSI owners will be interested to see that achieved! I think your climb rate is rather optimistic though and I would offer a realistic Cruise speed vice the Vne figure. Best wishes for '23 and good luck.

Beautiful Airplane ...Great and glad for you ..

Always towards victory mate.. cheers.. sawasdee / greetings from Thailand.

this plane is like brand new... good luck mike with the future of your aviation

An entrepreneur and a gentleman. 😉. Family change is a real consideration. Totally understand and respect your decision to stay close to the family. Be productive. Keep growing. And have fun.

Right on never would had thought about color coding the switch right on bro. Great video. Happy New year bro.

Hi Mike, oh no I am sorry to see you sell this wonderful aircraft, but you are on to bigger and better things! I am looking forward to seeing you continue to grow and letting us hang out with you for the ride!

Very exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for you guys!

Thank you always enjoy your videos, thank you. Good luck for your future, stay safe. M

All the best with flight school and the pragmatic flight plan where you’ve put family first - you will never regret it. Children grow up so quickly , you blink a few times and they have moved out of the house so savour the moments and once there independent you can fly to great destinations with your wife 👍👍👍

She’s a beauty all right, in every way. You have to be proud of the airplane and what you’ve done in it, you have every reason to be proud. You are a trailblazer in every way.

Congrads my brother to you and ur family

I am a proud PAPA Congratulations sir

Excited for your next plane. Naija no dey carry last!!!!!!!

You In NC, really, got family in Mooresville and I'm in NY hats off mate.

Mike success and blessings in your growth and yes life is better with family! Great plane but you are on a mission and I wish you the best, God's blessings, and Safe Flying!

Happy New Year 2023 🇺🇸 .amen

That is an amazing looking plane!

You've build a beautiful aircraft there but I understand the need to upgrade. Having your family along on your journey is very important. I would have loved to have an opportunity to fly with you in the Sling. Quite the adventure. Best to you and the family. Onward and upward.

Beautiful plane. ❤️

You are awesome! If I were a pilot (closest I get, is being a drone operator) and had the financial where with all, I would really contact you. I think you are the real deal and a class act! I know this doesn't help your sell but, you are admired.

Cool guy, solid plane

Good luck brother, it should sell the market is always hot in aviation especially of late.

I'm so proud to be a South African the fact that you didnt forget where your bird came from , you rock bro

Always enjoyed your videos. I’m playing the lottery tonight so it’s without a doubt that I’ll own this aircraft someday. Lol it’s a beauty.

Great plane for the lucky buyer. Happy flying with your new TBM 960

Very proud of you. Keep Pounding

Your an inspiration and thankyou for sharing your journey especially the pitfalls of getting your licence. Disappointing there are so many sharks out there taking advantage of people wanting to get into flying. Learn a lot from you even in Australia. Beautiful aircraft. 👍

Good luck with your next plane. Moving to a pressurized plane is a huge step up in performance, complexity and maintenance. Choose carefully and you will have a great time with it.
