One of our customers allowed Mooney to shoot a promo video with his Ovation 2 and it went downhill afterwards.  A 22year old sales rep with a ppl only took it up with a photographer and one other person in 106F heat, and wind gusts up to 30kts.  On one landing, he bounced, tried to fight it, bouced again, rolled through the grass, hit the taxiway, and collapsed the gear.  As I recall theres a lawsuit pending. :o

Inexperience=lack of thought

Yea, now they owe someone a plane ;D

Cool shots, and sweet 162...we had someone from cessna's R&D department come talk to us about the skycatcher at school, it's a pretty innovative little plane!  Can't wait to see them crowd the skies 8-)
