I flew (as a passenger) in 252AQ in the late 80's. This was the aircraft that was on the cover of Flying Magazine in '88. Getting into the Cheetas and Tigers I was flying at the time just wasn't the same for a while after that.
Interesting way to get out of a Mooney. I'll give that a try next time. Seem easier than trying to lift my self up from cabin area that is almost 6" below the wing walk.
Excellent video, love your avionics! I flew my Mooney from Toronto to New Mexico a few weeks ago, check out my video: I can relate to all that turbulence!
