After almost two years of flying the Baron, we began to find ourselves wanting more than it could offer. I learned today that my offer was accepted on a beautiful 2013 TBM-850. It all started with a demo in a new 930 last week. I actually flew the 930 and a like new Citation M2. While both are wonderful planes, the TBM left me in an unrelenting state of bliss.

It will be a flurry of activity for me over the rest of this week between finishing all the purchase details and preparing to depart for Simcom in Orlando on Sunday night for classes on Monday morning.

I know there are many TBM owners on here and I may need some guidance going forward. In the mean time the obligatory picture is attached.
