Since my retirement in 2001 and not flying any missions for Security Alert, Inc. anymore, all the trips in 9473V are for pleasure now. Lynn and I fly to Branson, Mo. two or three times a year to see a couple of shows and stop off at Gaston's Trout Resort on the way back for a couple of days of just lazing around and doing some Trout fishing.

We can be found in St. Louis three or four times a year visiting families and taking in a Cardinal ball game. We park at Jet-corp  at Spirit of St. Louis airport sometimes, they have plenty of parking space, rental cars and quick service.  Other  times we will land at Creve Cour airport if family is picking us up and we don't need a rental car.

We  go to Conroe, Texas (Houston area) a couple of times to visit my brother John. We make a Florida trip usually in January or February to the Ft. Myers area for some warm weather and golf. We go on a lot of one or two day trips during the summer, we may go to New orleans or Destin Flordia, spend the night and return the next day, or fly up to Nashville for lunch and return the same day. 9473V is a pretty speedy little craft it makes places like Destin about a two hr flight, St. Louis about an hour and half. The other main trip we always take is the mooney aircraft owners and pilot assn. convention it has been in San Antonio and Las Vegas for the last four years. It will be in Kerrville, Texas this year, we are sure to make this trip as it will take us to the Mooney Factory Where 9473V came off the assembly line in 1970.

The following photos are places we have recently visited in our Mooney.
