WELCOME to MOONEYLAND AND TO OUR NEW HOME PAGE! Our purpose is to provide you with informative material regarding airplanes in general, but specifically slanting toward the Safest, Fastest, Most Efficient airplane within its class; the MOONEY AIRPLANE! COAST to COAST AIRCRAFT began in 1989 dealing in the MARKETING RESALE, LOCATION, CONSULTING, UPGRADING/RENOVATING, and in general LOVING the incomparable MOONEY AIRPLANE, but so much MORE! We got into this for the "love of the Mooney animal" and that love affair has been time-tested through time and the love for this "Personal Airliner" remains as strong as ever. |
|
Richard "zef" Zephro has amassed nearly 6,000 hours of flying "OPM" (Other People's Mooney's) as well as the several that he has owned personally and in his mind, and being involved in hundreds of pre-purchase inspections as well as annuals, nothing, NOTHING can match the Mooney! Why? Because to those of us who fly, there are times when the "envelope" can be exceeded due to the elements, and if that is the case, you had better be in the airplane that can take it and come back for more. |
|
We have provided you many dozens of articles written by Richard Zephro in order for you to more fully understand why the Mooney airplane should be the ONLY airplane in its class that you should consider and why. We at Mooneyland are dedicated to that end and we encourage you to explore all of the articles presented here on this website, and we hope that you not only enjoy each article, but learn from them and practice safety first always asking; "What If"? Further, you can learn things you can personally do in order to make your beloved Mooney-Bird's owning experience not only exciting, but cheaper to own and operate. Our motto is to achieve "Champagne Results on a Beer Budget". As in all aircraft, our fleet of Mooney's is not getting any younger and with time it becomes necessary to ensure that your Mooney of choice has a sound airframe, a good engine, modern avionics, and sound maintenance. It is for this reason that we have our now legendary LOCATION SERVICE where virtually all of our Location Customers have been pleased with our SERVICE that utilizes all of our experience with Mooney airplanes in order to help Locate for you the best of the best within your budget; but our service does not even come close to stopping with the sale. We will be there for you during the life of ownership providing you with Technical Support, Our Dealer Cost on anything appreciable you might need or want for your Mooney, plus our sources and resources of where to find what it is that you need. Example: Multi Time customer Tom Leonard needed an alternator for his Acclaim Mooney and he needed it NOW! None of his mechanics nor the dealer who sold him the Acclaim new could find an alternator and due to an upcoming holiday trip, he needed that alternator yesterday! I had one on his door step the following morning using our resources. Yet another time Tom was stuck out of town with a bad mag that had shorted. Again no one could find one, yet we had it over-nighted to him the next morning, and we didn't even sell him that particular Mooney!
