Mooney had always seemed to make planes too far ahead of their market that never really came to fruition - m22 (p210) -> m301 (pa-46) -> and then the m301 became the tbm, of course.
Seems like this could have been an alternate platform to the Silver eagle. Would have looked better with a longer nose and a turbine prop anyway.

Many years ago I yearned for one. The performance numbers looked pretty good, but they were pretty rare airframes years ago. And the numbers that are airworthy these days has got to be very small.

Quote: boat anchor 170 radios absolutely bullet proof "boat Anchors"... Not fancy but worked great.

There is/was a small and passionate M22 owner group led by Charlie Reeves. I met him and his M22 many years back. I can’t seem to find him or that org online. I hope it’s just my search.
He was always insisting that prospective buyers call as he had the history of each plane. Some had better maintenance history and he could guide buyers accordingly.

Side bar
I spent a week in Townsville back in 1999. Navy boat pulled in and let us caged animals off to graze. There was a place, I think it was called Tims on the River where I ordered a steak so big, it was folded over in half on the plate. I’ll never forget that dinner. Someone also bussed in bunch of ladies for us to make friends with. 100s of them. One guy even refused to get back on the boat; he fell in love! He showed up about a week or so later, and went right to the brig. It was a crazy week!
