Mooney Prepares For Deliveries Of The Newest M20, This June Despite recent turmoil that has accompanied the loss of key personnel and (just days ago) their CEO, Mooney International is touting the first flight of a production M20V Acclaim Ultra as signs that the company still has a lot going for it. The first production M20V lifted off to begin its pre-delivery flight test program late last week, allowing Mooney’s flight test team to put the new airplane through its initial paces for just over an hour and a half. Both the new Acclaim and Ovation Ultras received FAA certification last month – and the factory is now beginning to ramp-up to full production capacity as first deliveries of the new aircraft are scheduled to begin in June. Acclaim Ultras will be first of the series to be delivered in early summer, followed later in the year by new M20U Ovation Ultras.
