N252TB 1987 Mooney M20K 252TSE

Donny Gabriel with Mason Amelia is thrilled to bring to market N252TB, a 1987 252TSE with serious firepower under the cowl. At its heart is a zero-time Victor Aviation XR Black Edition VII engine, the pinnacle of piston performance, freshly overhauled and backed by a Victor warranty. The rumble of the Continental TSIO-360-MB has never sounded so good.

The Garmin G500 PFD and dual Garmin navigators are a powerful combination on their own, delivering increased situational awareness and reducing pilot workloads. N252TB also sports a Garmin GTX345 transponder, providing ADS-B In and Out, so you’ll have real-time traffic and weather in the cockpit. Engage the autopilot and let the systems do the work while you focus on the big picture.

Craving speed? The 252TSE embodies what Mooney was built for: efficient, high-performance flight. Let the turbo spool and crack open the O2. N252TB is built for the flight levels, with a 28,000-foot ceiling and cruise speeds comfortably north of 200 knots. It eats up long legs with ease and still leaves fuel in the tanks. With that kind of altitude capability, speed brakes aren’t just nice to have; they’re essential. You’ll appreciate them when it’s time to descend! 

M20Ks demand maintenance discipline and by-the-book flying to deliver peak performance, and this one delivers. Owned and operated by a seasoned Gulfstream Captain, N252TB has been cared for with the same precision you'd expect from someone flying at FL450. To top it off, TB comes with a fresh annual, completed in March 2025.
