I wanted to tell you I really like you Dad. He teaches, and complements you very well. What an amazing trip, thank for sharing it!

Beautiful flight both ways. Priceless father-and-son adventure. I fly a Mooney M20C but our roles are reversed, I fly and my son co-pilots. I see you're NYPD. I'm a retired Police Officer in CA. Thank you for your service. Fly safe.

20 seconds in and I am hooked. Sucker for father/son adventures. Mine wasn’t around much and I worked all the weekends of my sons young years.

Outstanding video, my only gripe is the loud shutter clicks from the cell phone camera.

That glass instrument panel looks perfect for your Mooney. Great update for a great solidly designed aircraft.

This is an amazing journey and video! I just purchased a Mooney M20J and absolutely love it. I started a Youtube channel to document my cross-country flights to repossess vehicles.

"We're a team!" Love it. A few other angles I wouldn't have minded seeing, but overall a really enjoyable vid.
