Mooney Aircraft is celebrating its comeback to the industry with an unusual promotion. The Kerrville, Texas-based company has announced an online auction called “First to Fly” to sell the first Mooney Acclaim Type S produced on the recently modernized production line.

The auction kicked off on April 4, during the Sun ‘n Fun show in Lakeland, Florida, and will close on July 11. However, in order to bid you must register by June 30 by clicking the “First to Fly” tab on the Mooney website. The proceeds from the auction will go toward the new Mooney History Museum to be located at the headquarters in Kerrville. No date for the opening of the museum has been set as of yet, but Mooney International is already working with the Mooney Aircraft Pilots Association (MAPA) to develop the content for the museum.
