Mooney on a visit

This Mooney M20J was noted landing on runway 31 on 31st October 2024. The single piston engine aircraft flew in from Rome Urbe airport. Mooney has a cult following among GA aircraft aficionados and can trace its origins to 1929 when it was set up by Albert and Arthur Mooney. In 2013, the company was purchased by a Chinese real-estate development company, the Meijing Group which ran Mooney until 2020 before it was sold to a group of Mooney aircraft owners. The tail-fin of the Mooney M20 is very unique and it looks as almost ”leaning forward”, although it is approximately vertical in level flight, depending on trim setting.
