Wood spars = No thanks

M20J-201. Either that or the "Missile" conversion.

Hum ... doubt this one has a wood spar.

1960 models have wood spars. There were 5 or so years that they turned out wood spar airplanes.

Said no to ferrying one that had deteriorated wood spars...1960 vintage.

M20's and M20A's used wood in the construction from 1955 ending with new construction of 1960. It was used in both the wings and empennage. Beginning with the introduction of the M20b's they switched back to all metal construction.

Here's a (bad) one I took with my phone. It's from my first trip in a Citation. My first flight as a required crewmember on a jet I was up front for a while all alone. Hence the picture of the empty left seat.

Here's the other pilot:

So instead of maintaining the flight path and insuring that the auto-pilot was doing it's job and no rook was sneaking up from 3'clock, you whipped out your camera to take a picture so you could relive the scary moment over and over and over again!

San Fiero looks nice from the air. But you should have stolen a Hydra instead of a Dodo to do this scenic tour.
