Here are some reasons why pilots love to fly. If you like this, you'll like my new full length DVDs, shot in HD, of the desert southwest and the Gulf Coast available at www.AirWaveProductions.com

  • Hey I know the departure airport in the begining it's Double Eagle out in Albuquerque NM. I did my training there!

  • Very good!

  • What's the approach speed on a Mooney?

  • The short body (early model) Mooney planes typically use 100mph on downwind, 90 on base, 80 on final, and about 75 over the fence. The later models use those same numbers but in knots. Some of the latest models may even be faster. Not sure. The manual gear comes up or down in 1/4 second. The early Mooneys are great to own as your first plane if you want cheap and super fast.

  • Where in Texas? That looked like Glveston area a bit or Port Aransas.

  • See credits 6:15

  • Seriously, you nailed it. Well done sir.

  • Nice plane. Good music for video. Not obnoxous music like some of the other mooney videos I've seen.

  • You don't believe in aligning the plane with the runway centerline, do you?

  • YEP! Better late than never. I was in the USAF from 1965-1969 but never at a base with an air club!

  • that place looks like the intercostal in Florida

  • I have 330hrs and I can't buy a plane. rentals ;) like most pilots
