Jeff Miller began his Love for Flying and Aviation at an early age. He knew that some day he would "fly like an eagle" While raising a Family, he earned his "Wings" during the mid 80's and proceeded to aircraft ownership.  During the good ole days he flew to Breakfast Fly-ins with a good friend in Plymouth, MA who owned a Super 21. That was it! He knew one day he'd own one of these great ships!  And now he is performing a labor of Love! A total resurrection and restoration of a 1959 M 20-A.N8184E.  To date: A totally rebuilt wood wing, a "0" overhauled 0360 A1A, and an overhauled "0" time McCauley Prop.  A true Vintage Mooney!

Tom Myer's passion for flying (and Mooneys) began in my early teens when his father purchased a 1957 Mooney Mark 20. He started flying for himself in 1980 at KUGN in the Chicago area and obtained his private pilot license in 1981. He rented a variety of airplanes until he joined a partnership in a 1961 Beech Debonair in the mid-eighties, which he flew for the next several years. In the late nineties he joined a partnership in a 1977 M20J, N201FY, having recently finished his instrument rating. Finally, in 2007 he decided to take the plunge and purchase his own airplane, which of course is a Mooney. He is now the proud owner of a 1966 M20E (N9350M) which he hangars at KLWM (Lawrence, MA).  He has always had a fondness for "vintage Mooneys", so when he met Jeff Miller who was thinking about starting a local VMG chapter, he couldn't jump onboard quickly enough.

Rae Willis got his first plane ride in a Piper Cub (PA-11) at Aretz Airport in Lafayette, IN, took a few lessons in a Cherokee 140 at KPNE in North Philly in the 1960s, spent a lot of time in the right seat of a V-35 Bonanza and took up flying seriously in the early 1980s at KMMU in Morristown, NJ. Progressing through the Cs (152, 172 & 182) Rae thought getting to the M20s was a step up for sure. A checkout in an M20G was followed by the purchase of a half share in a 1967 M20F. After purchasing the other half of the M20F and getting an IFR rating, a nighttime electrical failure prompted the move to an M20J. Soon the need for more speed won out and in 1994 the 1980 M20J was converted to a 300 Missile which Rae and his wife Candie continue to fly today. Even though the plane is not a “pre-J” it is 30 years old, so the word “Vintage” is apropos, both for the plane and the pilot.
