Today, the new owners of 6447Q, started the recovery process of repairing and restoring my old bird, a 1967 Mooney M20F. As you know it had the misfortune of rolling down Jack's taxiway tail first into a tree.
The first thing they did was to remove the tail section where it bolts to the tail cone. then they drilled out all of the rivets behind the last window. Inside, on both sides, are two bolts that hold the structures together. Then they removed the prop and spinner.
Loaded onto a flatbed trailer they headed off to Tennessee to begin restoring. He said that in no time, it will have a new tail, paint and interior. It will fly again!
