Our Inaugural Cover Girl:  A Highly Modified Hot Rod M20C/J 
N6099Q Is probably one of the most highly modified M20C's anywhere and for all practical purposes has become a M20J/MSE. It's proud keeper is Capt. Ron. Deering, USN Ret, of Georgia. Interestingly, besides being a past commanding officer of several nuclear Trident Submarines himself, Capt. Ron was Strategic Operations Officer for the Commander Submarine Group Ten  of our Atlantic Trident Submarine Fleet. We are extremely proud to feature his aircraft on our Inaugural Cover which we feel may very well become a collectors issue.
