- čas přidán 20. 08. 2020
- This flight from Denver to Durango is the reason I bought an airplane, and it’s how we matched the Mooney to the mission.
Our goal was to fly from Denver to Durango in about 90 minutes.
Flying the Mooney makes that happen...
...jump in the cockpit and let’s go fly over the mountains.

"Now go create some freedom." - Rob Swanson
Mooney was so ahead of the times. They all look great no matter vintage. Great videos!
Installed shoulder harnesses in my ‘62 M20C and recommend them (easy & inexpensive).
Yep, they were the first thing I put in my J after buying it. Newer videos show them.
Mooney delivered indeed a great plane. I love to fly a MSE modell over here in Europe. I was myself some years ago in Durango, nice area. Hope to go back when this crisis is over
Smoooooth landing...
Love the interior too!
Thanks Ken.
You get to the destination faster. That's why you fly a Mooney. And you look cool.
AWESOME dude love the money thanks for sharing keep flying
We are having a great time flying and recording the flights...
...we’ll keep’em coming as we have plenty of trips planned.
I recently purchased a Mooney M20J and absolutely love it! I started a CZcams channel where I fly my Mooney cross-country to repossess vehicles.
Hey Rob! No idea you had a CZcams channel. Would love to see some mountain flying videos in your new turbocharged monster! Cheers, Josh
Love the video! I'm in and out of Longmont all the time. Durango is on my list!
Glad you enjoyed it...I’m hangared at Metro (KBJC) now...
I used to fly out of Erie (KEIK) and funny enough, the day of this flight, the gas pumps were down at Erie so we hoped over to Longmont just for fuel before departing to Durango.
@@RealRobSwanson Cool - I'm over at Front Range (Now Spaceport). I've owned my hangars overthrew for 20 years. They just opened a New Mexican restaurant in the terminal. Definitely worth a flight over!
Cheers,
Jim
Buy a SR22T for almost a million or buy an old Mooney for cheap, load it up with the good stuff and get the same cruise performance on less gas.
Just stumbled across your channel. I’m looking for my first airplane trying to keep an open mind. I’ve always liked what the 201 offers. I’d love to hear more about your experiences with yours. Or anyone else’s for that matter. Liked the video. I’ll be following.
Super happy with my 201. It’s a cross country machine, not a touch and go trainer. It’s a good mix of speed, endurance, and efficiency for those cross country trips with my wife. And, a blast to fly even with 4 adults for short hops for some food or fun.
@@RealRobSwanson thanks for the reply. Those are the reasons I like the 201. And I just keep coming back to it after looking at other options. I’d love to see some videos about your costs of ownership as well as what your bird is equip with and what, if any, improvements your wanting to put in her. Thanks for sharing what you do. 👍
What type of gps do you have? N6710N
Looking to buy for exactly the same reason. Sedona to Durango. Looking at a 67 Mooney, but hoping to get with a little less time on the engine.
Cool, we've flown the Mooney into Sedona from Denver. Fun approach, fun trip.
Long ago (yes, 1967) I was in a flying club that traded its M20C for the brand new M20F (Executive 21). 200 hp vs. 180 and a longer cabin (more legroom in the back seat). Loved flying that plane for several years. As I recall, it would true 172 mph at around 7,000 feet on 10 gph (full gross).
Great video and nice flying. Now get some shoulder belts in that 201. ;-) I got mine from Hooker Harness and saved a few bucks from the Alpha Aviation ones that everyone else seems to use.
Thanks...And totally agree...
Shoulder harness seat beats were the first thing I installed. You can see them in all newer videos.
Real Estate Mogul. Ha ha ha . Good one.
Dumb question: Is the plane pressurized? Do you need oxygen at that altitude?
Not pressurized. FAR 91.211 lays out the requirements for supplemental O2.
Between 12,500 and 13,999 over 30 minutes, requires pilot O2.
14,000 and up requires crew O2 immediately.
15,000 and up requires passenger O2.
I live in chama nm and want to fly to durango,co this helps, thank you
You fly a Mooney because your rich.....enjoy. I'm to poor to fly, even with a PPL....😐
One question I have to which I did not find an answer in your posts is, "Why do you need to transit from Denver to Durango in 90 minutes?" I'm sure that some of your viewers are more curious about that than they are about the aircraft which makes this possible.
Because we like Durango, and 90 minutes is faster than 6.5 hrs driving, but still slower than 38 min in a TBM...the faster we get there, the more time we have to enjoy it.
pretty rought bumps
Rob, what kind of headset is your wife using?
She’s wearing the Clarity Aloft headset.
@@RealRobSwanson Does she like it?
Maybe a better question is would she recommend it? My wife is looking at a new headset and would like to get a lighter one.
@@dsm169 Yes, she likes them and would recommend them. I bought them for her for the same reason, they are light.
The only complaint is the ear pieces fall off so you have to be careful taking them on and off, and you have to store after every flight in the case.
Also, make sure to try all the different earpiece sizes. It took my wife a bit to find the size that really fits for longer flights.
@@RealRobSwanson Thank you!
Nobody noticed the Rolex submariner? Lol
I’ve worn that timepiece for 18 years, almost daily, even though I have others.
My Dad was a $2.99 calculator watch guy and he wore this Sub for a day, a week before he passed away in 2003.
I’ll never sell it, and I beat the heck out of it all the time.
mooney sure has a narrow cockpit.
About 172 width, but way faster and more fun to fly. A real cross country machine.
Lol that’s a Mooney myth…. The cockpit is 43.5 inches wide. By comparison, the 182 or Bonanza is 42 inches.
@@jbrunz5631 I was just getting ready to post what you said!
There is no way I would ever do that - single engine over mountains. Any time you must guess what side of the mountain to fly on so you don't get slammed to the ground, there is something wrong. Could never warm up to the Mooney. It's the only plane I have ever flown that tries to kill you on the ground. Also, it sure could use a yaw damper. Nice video. I wish you luck with your plane!
Ha! Thanks. In aviation, you kinda always ask “what side of THAT should I fly on”.
Mountain flying comes with its own unique set of skills, risks, and requires the ability to read weather, terrain, and its impact on wind.
I love my Mooney. Not sure what model you’ve flown, but the mid-body, like my J is very stable - no tail yaw waggle at all.
And, if it ever tries to kill me on the ground, it will discover my mad grappling ability and will be choked out before it knows what happened.
@@RealRobSwanson I’ve never heard anyone say anything about a Mooney trying to kill you on the ground. What is he referring to?
@@ronmudie240 It's possible that he means because of the rubber donut suspension, the front nose wheel can feel "bouncy" after landing on roll-out, or while taxiing if you don't control the pressure.
@@ronmudie240 I have a Mooney M20E. I think it’s tamer on the ground than a 172 due to the low wings that wind can’t catch so easily. I have no idea what this guy is referring to! They handle great on the ground. I can do 20G30 crosswinds with the E.
In an a twin in these mountains , if one engine quits, the second one will take you to the scene of the accident.....
Thankfully you just flew to Durango and not IN TO Durango.
Ha ha ha. But are you REALLY a real estate “mogul”?
Bad camera work.......
Thanks for being such a positive light to humanity lol.
Ps. Camera work was designed…just for you. Cheers!
Mooney was so ahead of the times. They all look great no matter vintage. Great videos!
