The TBM Ownership Experience - TBMOPA

[@iflyfa18s]

I flew that very A-7E on the carrier (number 301) before it became a museum piece!

[@kentwg]

+iflyfa18s That's pretty awesome and thanks for your service. I love to fly.

[@CyberSystemOverload]

Wow, respect to sir! What a legendary plane that is!

[@johnallen1855]

What squadron?

[@johnallen1855]

I didn't see the buno?

[@1563ckg43]

Thanks for your service sir.

[@gunner4q]

teaching a companion/wife/friend/to fly the plane to earth is a very smart thing to do!

[@steveo1kinevo]

Very cool video! Hopefully I will be able to join at the next event in Phoenix!

[@joshuasaldeba4055]

+steveo1kinevo hey Steve u should do a flight to the cayman islands :) u would love it

[@dwildkat]

+steveo1kinevo Hi Steve I love your videos. I recommend them to my fellow cadets all the time. Have you seen the new TBM 930? It'll be awesome watching you in one of those don't you think?

[@henry2008kim]

Are all those party attenders owners?

[@seikibrian8641]

Owners (who may or may not be the pilots), spouses of owners, pilots for owners...a diverse group, but mostly owner-pilots and their spouses.

[@BillWogan]

Is it open to the public at all, or exclusively owners, pilots and their spouses?

[@radioace318la]

N851TB put TBMs on my radar. Rock It SteveO!

[@biggestMetallicAfan]

If you know ownership experience of one of these, you know being rich experience too.

[@Hossman757]

I did my ASEL (private) in a Socata TB-9 Tampico. Loved that aircraft so comfy on cross countries. It was not the fastest but it was the most comfortable and that's what mattered when flying it to build time for my instrument rating. TBM aircraft are the best.

[@freepilot7732]

I'll be in this group soon. Next summer perhaps, but I live in the Pacific Northwest, USA

[@vl3gwada64]

thanks for the share. it's the best plane. very good group. next

[@Altenholz]

Very very reliable aircraft no question!

[@Kaipeternicolas]

Pretty cool event! I hope to be part of it some day.

[@puterausman7682]

would love to join but not now..

[@rexspencer5107]

Those planes got to be close to 2 million maybe more!!!....

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

Well over 2 Million. The TBM 900 sells for $3.7 Million

[@tusambolo]

I think more like 4

[@bruceruttan60]

Cool, but how about some numbers?

[@Big.Ron1]

I wonder where in the Phoenix area the next one will be?

[@seikibrian8641]

Arizona Biltmore Resort.

[@socaminister]

do it have a 9 or 10 setter exclusive of the pilot

[@rotorfib8719]

does the hotstart tbm-900 for x plane count? :D

[@cdnrednck]

i love these Planes since i can't afford one i fly one on FS 2020

[@freepilot7732]

Add one more next year from me.

[@mikestone9129]

I want one

[@richardbailey3000]

How much are they

[@nickh4661]

Richard Bailey 4 million

[@sskdev5116]

Pretty cool. Wish I could afford one

[@bruceruttan60]

You can! Just put together a flight group!

[@Poop-nu1so]

Ownership Steps: Step 1: Be Rich Step 2: Be a Pilot ...is it OK if I skip Step 1?

[@kensvlog4356]

I would love to join you if I can find somebody to lend me $5 million.

[@CyberSystemOverload]

Fast prop plane but cabin looks cramped. I guess a compromise has to be made somewhere. Speed got priority!

[@bowzist]

I would like to join but my wallet won’t let me

[@bishopscore]

I have a 25,000 USD down payment and then monthly installments. Hello Daher, please make this work. Thank you!

[@XaymacaJah]

Gr8 plane.. I WILL BUY ONE.. but. LOOSE THE MUSIC.... i want to hear the turbine running and the radio chatter.

[@pigslefats]

ahh yes, very unique as opposed to unique

[@caseybhargraves6208]

Planes are pure sexy!!

[@terrylegrand1950]

Ah the life of the RICH

[@gary_neilson1896]

"Pilot Companion" - HAHA WTF?

[@fingerhorn4]

$4 million fully equipped. You can buy a good condition twin engined JET for half the price. Or a quarter, if you look around. Absurd price for a private prop aeroplane.

[@MyHalfprice]

Operating cost counts my friend.

[@rainerzufall689]

Are you comparing new to used prices? If so: Why?

[@chucklesx]

Yes you can buy twin engined jet but then you are buying an aircraft that is much closer to needing an overhaul and has no warranty (if it is enrolled on a parts/labour/airframe/avionics warranty program you will be paying for whatever balance is in the account). You will also be paying the fixed and vaiable running costs of two engines instead of one and you have to pay to be certified with a pilots type rating for the jet and do recurrency trianing each year to stay certified which all costs money. The jet pilot typically should also be RVSM certified as flying a jet only at or below 29,000 ft would be hugely inefficient as are short flights for the same reason, jets are designed to fly best at high altitudes so the tbm would be better suited if your mission profile is mainly shorter or lower altitude flights. Is a TBM expensive at 4 million $? Hell yeah but if you can afford it there is alot more that goes into the decision of which aircraft you would buy than just the purchase price. Not a absolute rule but you wil likely find that the majority of tbm's bought for private use will be flown by their owners as pic, jets on the other hand are more likely to be flown by professional pilots. Also no jet bigger/heavier (which make up a significant portion of the chaeper jets on the market) than a light jet are single pilot certified, so even if you can fly it yourself as PIC you would another type rated pilot in the right seat.

[@quinnjim]

Rich guys flying high performance airplanes….what could go wrong? An accident rate worse that a Mitsubishi MU-2.

[@gunner4q]

poor guys ranting about rich people driving their dodge caravans and wrecking them trying to turn left!

[@caseybhargraves6208]

MU-2 accident rate caused mainly by unskilled pilots with big egos who thought they knew it all.

[@eddiekruggerr4972]

quinnjim You are a bitter envious little man, mad at other men's success. The sad part is you are not ashamed of it. You will never have what you hate.

[@deltaflyer1997]

Lmao, like that's the aircraft's fault instead of pilot error. Jealous much?

[@einarkarlsen1734]

7

[@allanthomas3361]

scary movie

[@jb894]

Owning one of these would make a lambo seem like an old piece of junk 😂
