Despite recent turmoil that has accompanied the loss of their CEO, Mooney International is touting the first flight of a production M20V Acclaim Ultra.

The first production M20V lifted off to begin its pre-delivery flight test program late last week, allowing Mooney's  flight test team to put the new airplane through its initial paces for just over an hour and a half. Both the new Acclaim and Ovation Ultras received FAA certification last month - and the factory is now beginning to ramp-up to first deliveries of the new aircraft scheduled to begin in June. Acclaim Ultras will be first of the series to be delivered, followed later by new M20U Ovation Ultras. The need for precision in any formation, much less the tolerances demonstrated by a number of the world's finest military jet demonstration teams, is unquestioned. On a highly anticipated combination formation flight series conducted with the USAF Thunderbirds, late last Wednesday, two of the Blue Angels made glancing contact due to what is suspected to some unanticipated wake turbulence from the other jets. Following the recent acquisition of Lancair by the Huffstutler family, the company has begun the process of repatriating kit manufacturing fixtures and equipment from their former location in Cebu in the Philippine Islands. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
