Aero-News Quote of the Day

"When we considered the need to replace an aircraft in our fleet, the choice of the TBM was obvious.  Our passengers love the comfort of the cabin, and our pilots love the way they fly. The TBM's reliability has been nearly flawless, and the cost of operation is easily justified when compared to alternative means of travel. The HomeSafe emergency autoland system, which is in the new TBM 940, is a game changer; its added safety is unprecedented. After 49 years of flying, these birds still wow me."
