Friday evening, June 11th will be a fun evening at The TuleAero hanger with much going on. The basic theme for this year's event is Porterville Salutes the 1950s.

September 25 Edenton, NC Northeastern Regional Airport [KEDE], September 25
Point Person: Amelia Reiheld sure would love to have a gathering of Mooney Ambassadors there, so all you Mooney drivers, plan to join us in beautiful historic , for a fly-in/community open house at Northeastern Regional Airport. It'll probably run from 10-5 or so. We hope to have area military big-iron, both static and fly-over demos, RC demos, food vendors, free airplane rides, exhibits from charitable flight organizations, etc. Camping and airplane parking are (as always) free, though you'll need to bring your own tie-downs. If camping and fair-food isn't your style, reserve a car with Enterprise, and book a room in one of the wonderful B&Bs in and around Edenton. There are some excellent restaurants, too. If Mama would rather tour the colonial historic sites and shop than talk airplanes, we'll find a ride into town.
October 2 Livermore, CA. Airport Appreciation Day, October 2nd 2010

2010
EMPOA group insurance

The Mooney group insurance is an exclusive offer to all EMPOA-members from any country in Europe. Background of this group insurance is to provide very attractive insurance rates to owners of a Mooney. As Mooneys are mostly flown by very experienced pilots and compared to other airplanes are involved in less accidents, these advantages should be available to all Mooniacs.

Therefore EMPOA has made a contract with a very honourable German insurance company, which would provide every EMPOA-Mooniac with specialized rates for his Mooney. But we have to get as many participants as possible, as our standing towards the insurance company gets even better with every new participant and guarantees the current or even a better rate for a long time to every participant.
