Kerrville, TX, July 25, 2013 - Free commemorative shirts, guest appearances from top pilots and legendary aircraft are all part of The Mooney Aviation Company's AirVenture lineup as it celebrates its 60-year anniversary of when Mooney began to manufacture its legendary M20 fleet of fast, safe, and efficient airplanes.
"This is an historic time for Mooney and being present at AirVenture is an
opportunity to celebrate with our loyal Mooney owners. We want to remind
them that we are actively in business," says Barry Hodkin, Chief Financial
Officer. "There are over 7,000 airplanes in service out of the 11,000
Mooneys manufactured in Kerrville so customer support is our top priority."
Mooney engineers and manufacturing experts continue to focus on support for the legendary fleet of airplanes. In addition to Mooney staff support, there are over 50 Mooney service centers that are preferred suppliers of parts and services for the Mooney owners.
To celebrate the 60 years of the M20, Mooney will be giving away a commemorative 60-year t-shirt to Mooney owners at AirVenture who bring a copy of their Mooney registration to the Mooney booth located in spaces 174-175, located west of Rockwell Collins Exhibit Hangar C and southwest of the intersection of James Ray Blvd. and Museum Rd.
At the booth, Mooney will be celebrating its heritage by honoring two Mooney legends along with two airplanes from its M20 line. Jack Wiegand, who recently broke the record for the youngest person to fly solo around the world, will be on hand along with the airplane he chose for his record-breaking flight: the N432BG. Mr. Wiegand chose the Mooney Ovation 2 GX for his successful endeavor on because it offered the ultimate balance between speed and efficiency.
While Mooney is currently not manufacturing airplanes, there is reason for optimism as the company continues to discuss new investment opportunities with interested parties. For more information on Mooney, please visit www.mooney.com.
