The turboprop generation

Johan's cub scout troop (including siblings) was invited to the local airfield to learn about planes. After getting an education in the basics of an airplane, how an airport works, and safety; the question was posed: would anyone like to go for a spin?  Needless to say, for most of the kids the answer was a resounding YES!  
Mathias and Johan got to go for a trip in a Mooney M20C - a low-wing 4-seater with a cruising speed of 165MPH. Did they like it? Um, Yes! 
By the way, you can readily identify a Mooney by its distinctive empennage (there's a big word!) including a vertical leading edge to its tail fin! Tuck that away for your next appearance on Jeopardy. 
Sorry kids, the answer is NO. Mom will not let us get a plane. Don't even ask.
