I'm typing this, via ssh, on Delta flight 2348 from KSLC to KDTW. I uploaded the photos earlier so I wouldn't have to upload them from the plane.
I took hundreds of photos of the potentially new airplane while I was looking at it, for documentation purposes and for my own interest. HOwever, I didn't want to post anything in case the deal got cancelled. Since the money's transferred and the plane is mine, for better or worse. So here are a quick selection of photos for those of you who are interested. There will more later with better text when I'm not composing on an airline tray table.
I don't have a lot of overall shots because I was mostly taking photos
of details. Here are a couple:
The nose is awfully shiny...maybe I should call it "Rudolph"? :-)
The asymmetric formation of the accessories below the propellor is
characteristic of the early Mooneys. Oil cooler on the left (nearer
the camera), landing light over on the right, with the air intakes in
the middle.
One more overall shot; this is the seller taxiing in and parking the
airplane at my mechanic's.
I'm an instrument panel guy. Here's a shot of the pilot's IFR 6-pack.
And the rest of the panel, on the ground.
And here are shots I took from the passenger's seat on our test flight.
I probably won't be flying it home until early to mid-December, so more pictures then.
