Mooney: The Symbol of Performance™

“I’ve chosen Mooney time and time again. Mooney appealed to me initially due to its speed and safety record. I was so happy with that first Ovation (purchased in 1997) that I bought my second Ovation in 2000 when they introduced air conditioning - a big appeal since I live in Florida. Then they introduced the glass panel, and I had to have that one, too!”
