Comments
Mooney drivers share a unique and deeply seated characteristic – we like to go fast!  And this is the fastest "C" model on the east coast.  With over $17k in speed mods, this airplane looks and flies like a "J" model down low and trues-out at 152-154 kts between 6000 and 8000 feet using only about 9 gallons per hour.

For those of you not very familiar with Mooney’s…if a Cessna is akin to a Chevrolet and a Bonanza is akin to a Mercedes, then the Mooney is akin to a Porsche.  Mooneys are among the most efficient and structurally sound airplanes manufactured.  The low profile cross-section and laminar flow wings reduce drag to enable the fast air speeds typically unachievable in other manufacturers’ airplanes with similar horsepower.  The tubular steel frame, acting as a cockpit roll cage, along with the wingtip-to-wingtip wing spar, make the Mooney airframe the strongest and safest among GA airplanes.

Air-Mods, an authorized Mooney Service Center, has maintained this airplane since the mid-90’s and the owners have spared no expense.  During that time, Air-Mods installed the speed modifications, performed all maintenance, and managed the engine overhaul.  In October ’09, through Air-Mods’ recommendation, Wilmar Air Service stripped and resealed the fuel tanks (their process is now used by the Mooney factory and includes a 5-year transferable warranty).  In September ’10, the propeller was overhauled by Sensenich Propeller Service at Lancaster Airport.

The previous owners have taken great pride in maintaining this airplane including routine washing and waxing.  You will be hard pressed to find a better (and faster) "C".  This airplane is priced right and will provide the new owner with pride in ownership, economy, speed, and a good cross-country platform for years to come.
