The TBM is an awesome traveling machine. We got lucky for Thanksgiving with winds with 26 knots on the nose going to Scottsdale and 70 coming home. Made the round trip about 5 hours flying time for 1500 NM. At 30-31k we are almost always above the clouds and in smooth air when the airliners and pistons are looking for smooth air above and below us. Landing at home this afternoon we had 20-25 knots of gusty direct crosswind. No big deal. I’m thankful to get to fly such a great aircraft.

Those big NACA ducts under the exhausts, what are they for? What do they feed?

Man oh man. Thinking to upgrade from my Baron B58 to pressurized...Crossing the Rockies often is the #2 mission. #1 mission is still my 1400nm commute between London ON and Fort McMurray AB.

This would so do both missions..... but if I could afford a TBM, I doubt I would need to be working in the Oil Sands. But hey gotta set my goals high.............

Gotta love the TBM of any version.
