From TSB.... C-FLQQ, a private Mooney M-20 K was conducting a flight from Great Falls International Airport (KGTF), Montana, to Mexico Airdrome (NY96), New York, with only the pilot on board. During cruise at FL240, the engine had a drop in oil pressure and a loss of power. The airplane diverted to...

Could read posts, sometimes.
