It's a damn good airplane for sure.
I'm realizing at this point that I'm probably going to need a bigger airplane for family trips in a few years - I'm reaching the point where we're at max gross with full fuel, and I think my son is getting bigger faster than I can pull out old heavy avionics.
So either we're gonna have to learn to pack lighter, or I'm gonna need to find a way to get use of a 310, TBM, or something that's higher performance even if it is more expensive. However, I also like the Mooney enough that I want to keep it for other flying, and I'm sure I'm going to want it back once we're empty nesters, so I really don't want to outright sell it.
