New Maule Owner!
Hello Maulepilots org! I look forward to your wise advise on my new to me Maule MX-7-180, it is an 86 model that was completely restored by a gentleman just south of ATL. 773MC is a gem of an a/c (no bias ) he took care of this a/c very very well. I have a fair amount of TW time but not in a Maule. Will be building my experience with it and enjoying my lifelong dream of owning a cool a/c like this. I have to find a name for it, off course she is a "she". Open to suggestions:)
I am a just retired fighter pilot of 28 years in the USAF, flew my whole career, my new day job is AA First Officer, and my hobby has been towing gliders from a Pawnee and Citabria.

Welcome aboard Loogie. I'm another relatively new MX7 owner. I got my 2002 MX7-180C in June. I flew it back from Seattle to my home in Manassas, VA. My plane is now based on an uncharted airpark in Summit Point, West Virginia.
I don't see any public strips in Smithfield. Are you hangared at one of the private fields around there ( Aberdeen, or Garner)? Friday is looking like good weather and I'll be out knocking around. I might make a run down that way.
By the way, what's the story behind your nickname?

Congrats on your aircraft as well! Plane is hangared at KAKQ Wakefield, west of Smithfield. I wish I could use Aberdeen, I am their neighbor!Flyhound wrote:Welcome aboard Loogie.

Reason behind my nickname? It is an Air Force call sign, we dont call each other by our first names, we usually get named by committee when we are Lt's. Now how I got that call sign is classified
