There was a Mooney fly-in event at the Tennessee Museum Of Aviation last February. My wife and I went along to meet people, see the museum, and do the sit-in-the-cockpit game with some folks that I'd talked to before ahead of time.
My experience with our club's Cessna aircraft was that an iPad didn't
fit between the yoke horns. It seems that a Mooney yoke is wider; it
fits fine:
The museum itself has the usual stuff; engines, vintage fighters.
There's a fairly old Willy's Jeep, which was kind of cool. What
completely surprised me coming around a corner at the back side of the
museum was this:
It's a full-scale model that someone made of the
Airwolf helicopter
from the television show. The creator took a Bell 222 (upon which the
"real" Airwolf was based), made it into a model, then donated it to
the museum. It was utterly unexpected and I was totally floored.
It's nice to be surprised sometimes.
