Over fifty Mooney airplane owners from
across Europe are gathering to attend AERO 2003 in Friedrichshafen,
Germany, and to celebrate the return of Mooney Airplane Company to
European distribution. The aircraft and pilots will be received by
Mooney Airplane Company and Rheinland Air Services, representing
the Mooney Airplane Company in Germany.
Speaking from Friedrichshafen, Executive Vice President of Sales
and Marketing for Mooney, Nicolas Chabbert, said, "Mooney has been
conspicuously absent from the European market for the last several
years and it is with great pleasure that we return to support and
sell our products." [Mooney had discontinued overseas shipments
under previous owners.] The weakness of the American dollar
presents an unusual opportunity for the purchase of a new Mooney
airplane at significant savings."
Aero 2003 is also providing Mooney
Airplane Company the opportunity to introduce and discuss the
exciting new DX line of aircraft. Chabbert
went on to say, "The Mooney DX specifications and improvements are
designed to meet the needs and desires expressed by customers.
Taking the Mooney product line to an entirely new level of
performance, capability and safety, the new DX models set the
standard for pilot's who need the fastest, most reliable aircraft
available."
Details of the product improvements include lowering the instrument panel by 2
inches, which greatly improves pilot visibility.
The focus is on safety and the Garmin GDL49 weather downlink system
and the Garmin GTX 330 Mode S transponder become standard
equipment. The addition of these instruments allows real time
Nexrad weather images to be displayed on the large Garmin 530
screen along with traffic information. These additions
greatly improve the level of cockpit information available to
Mooney pilots.
