One of our EAA members is alive today because Mooneys are fast. He had a heart attack while the group was cleaning up a remote airstrip. The decision was made to get back to the biggest hospital(with cardiac unit), not the closest rural one. My husband said it was the longest 20 minutes of his life as he sat next his friend. The ambulance was waiting and later the doctors said that 15 minutes later, our friend would have died. Happily, he has cashiered at the last three pancake breakfasts since then, and is building a plane. I like Mooneys.
