Compared to a King Air 90, it comes out cheaper, with more range. Who
needs an extra P&W?

Top of the line, great aircraft, although for many I suspect it's a bit
expensive for so few passengers. I have a friend who sometimes flys one, and he
says that is the most fun aircraft he's ever flown, above Challengers,
Saberliners, Jetstars and the like. It's a little expensive to feed, as fuel
burn is fairly high, but he just flew Wichita to Dallas in about an hour and 10
minutes.

Subject: [OM] IMB: TBM 850 at the Airport
When I stopped by the airport today, I spotted a beautiful traveling
machine on the ramp, a Socata TBM 850, with a distinctive registration
number. Here is the overall view.

Moving in closer, I spotted the five-bladed prop and wing-mounted radar.

Looks a fine way to reach destinations large and small.
