Mooney Airplane Company
has named Rick Neely, 47, an experienced corporate pilot and

president of sales and marketing for the high-performance
single-engine airplane manufacturer, announced his appointment. In

"Our sales philosophy is founded on integrity, trust and the
establishment of solid, long-term relationships with our
