"We are pleased to welcome David to Mooney. He will be

product and customer support," Mooney President J. Nelson Happy.
"David comes to us with 26 years of aviation industry experience
having worked with Piper, Rockwell, Grumman, Cessna, Hawker and
most recently, Beechcraft where he served as the Vice President of
Worldwide Sales."
Copeland graduated from Wichita State University and is an Airline
Transport Rated Pilot with over 4,900 hours. David has both
domestic and international experience and brings a track record of
success to Mooney. "My goal is to exceed the level of expectation
of every Mooney owner and customer, Mooney has a great history of
producing the fastest most efficient and safest aircraft in the
industry," Copeland stated.
David comes from a flying family that is well known in the

general aviation manufactures while owning an airport and FBO
operation in Wichita (KS). David's father taught him to fly and his

"We are very pleased that Nicolas will be taking over the
leadership of our business development activities. He has done a
superb job in his prior position, but we believe that is important
to have an executive of his talents in charge of our future
products," said Happy.
