Flew over to Bozeman today and saw this on the ramp. Has a G500 and a 496 in the panel. It gets your attention because it's noticeably bigger than a regular Mooney

I have never seen one in person. I wonder how hard it is to get parts for that.

There is one at KSWO. It's an odd looking airplane.

Cessna and Mooney both developed pressurized singles. Why not Beech? I know they tried, but must have concluded that too much work would have been required on the airframe.

No external baggage door opening?

Note the bi-fold entry door.

That is Warren Pietsch's out of Minot. A 1968 M22.

They stopped making them in 1970.

Pietsch is currently restoring one of these...

I had an emergency landing there one time in my experimental. I moved it into a shade hangar shared by a wrecked waco. Anyways, i come back a day later with some parts only to find my wooden airplane had been pulled out into the rain across a cement lip cracking the wheel pants. I asked the old jerk why he did this and said, their insurance only allows 1 plane in a shade hangar at a time. I let it go but remember seeing that Mustang next door.
