Until very recently you had been on your way to Roswell, New Mexico for completely benign reasons, like meeting a long lost cousin. Yeah, that was it. Certainly not to follow up on a lead from someone who really knows what happened that night. No, definitely not that.
You recently acquired a Mooney 201 (M20J), which you’re flying from your home base in Abilene, Texas. The plane is in good shape, but the previous owner put all his money into paint and cosmetics, and pretty much ignored the panel. You’ve been saving to add a GPS, using your tablet in the meantime. At least you’ve got dual navcoms and a working DME.
