In 1969 Mooney went bankrupt and Mitsubishi took over the marketing of the aircraft. The accident free claim was to become somewhat ironic, sadly. BTW, the TBM is also a "Mooney". Mike C.
Sad end to that MU2 in the picture

MU2 is no Mooney!!
Just kidding, of course. I like the Mooneys other than I cannot sit in one more than 30 minutes. The seats suck and the visibility is bad. Great efficiency though! Which one did you fly? Fly the latest Ovation/Acclaim. Seats as comfy as in any other plane. I do not understand what you mean by visibility sucks? Same as any other aircraft, as far I can tell. If you fly the Glasair, your sitting position is almost identical to a Mooney. Acclaim flat out at 12,000 might just almost keep up with the Glasair. Almost…200knots is about the best it can do at the altitude. 220knots at FL180...
