Man and a Mooney
Welcome to Man and a Mooney! “Christian” started this channel to share his flying experiences and encourage the next generation of aviators to take flight. “Marj” the Mooney is a 1964 M20C. She’s powered by a naturally aspirated Lycoming O-360 producing 180hp – although we rarely see all those ponies in the Rockies ;)
Join us as we explore Colorado (and beyond) discussing topics like mountain flying, cross-country flight planning, and overall aircraft ownership. “Welcome aboard” we’re glad you’re here.
