Out of curiousity, I called Mooney in Kerrville today and asked to talk to "..d'Boss..". Ended up in voice mail, but - by golly - Mr. Jansen, the new Head Muckity-Muck in Charge called me back within about 20 minutes.
He is the new Exec V.P. & COO who is bringing all of the Mooney parts machining, aircraft tooling and assembly lines back on line after the 8-month shutdown due to the bankruptcy.
The first new Mooney, a fully decked-out Ovation, will be off the line by the time EAA's "...OSHKOSH 2002..." rolls around this summer and I'm going to drive up there and see it.
They will also be moving the production of the AASI turboprop and bizjet to the Kerrville facility, which will ensure Mooney-level quality assurance and control.
This is the best General Aviation news I've heard in a long time....!!
GOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Mooney....!!!

ps: As it turns out, Mr. Jansen was the production manager for my other favorite plane the 337 SkyMaster twin, when he was at Cessna. This guy knows good airplanes...!!
