Probably an airplane engine mechanic who buys his parts at the Porsche dealer.

Do you have to be pretentious to fly it?

I’d like to know that too. Years ago Porsche destroyed all parts they had in stock and refuses to make more. They want nothing to do with this engine.

Porsche still services and overhauls every model vehicle they've ever made, including tractors.

Its not gonna be cheap, but, it will have a warranty.

I like that! It was overhauled 400 hours ago, so it must be possible. Surprised to see it here in Alberta.

In 2007, Porsche surrendered their FAA type certificate, asserting that they would no longer support the engines with parts and service.

That engine is an orphan. Few exist. Air Mod in Florida converted most of the 41 PFM Mooneys to Continental on Porsche’s dime and Porsche destroyed those removed engines. Kind of sad. Somewhat similar to The Starship.

Maybe they could do a Moonaru conversion like the Boxster kids do with the Subaru motors...

What’s the skinny on this particular model o’ Mooney? Inquiring minds want to know.
