George Meenach of Los Lunas, New Mexico
tells how he happened to find and buy his Mite, N4102. George included the following explanation when he mailed
these photographs of his lovely Mite to The Mooney Mite Site:
"I purchased my Mite in September of '98. A friend and I were in
California looking at a Mite that I found advertised on the net. The Mite
was not what I was looking for, so we started back to Oakland for the
flight home. I had heard of the Schellville Antique field in Sonoma,
California, and since we were in the area, we decided to stop and visit,
not dreaming we would find another Mite for sale.
We found ourselves up at the Sonoma Skypark. The manager asked what we
were doing out there and we told him we had came out looking for a Mite.
He said there was a Mite at Schellville that could be for sale. He called
the owner and we agreed to meet at his hanger at Schellville.
When he opened the hanger door, I knew I had been had. A young fellow
there who had time in the Mite agreed to fly it over to Albuerque for me,
so a week later it was in my hanger at Mid-Valley Airpark. The rest is
history."
