OK Marc, maybe I missed it and if so, the Jeff's can merge the threads, but there is a kerosene burner in your avitar soon after selling the baron. Anything I missed or you care to share ?

Marc posted about moving up to a King Air or something due to mission change. It is buried in a thread.

He's a studly farmer, that's all there is to it.

Eh!
Ok, its not a Beech or a twin but its got a big good Canadian PT6.

Dude! Tell us about it...

Looks like a TBM 700, got to fly the TBM 700 that tryed to fly around the world by going over the poles back around 1995. Here's a picture of me in 1995 in front of my hangar with it. I wasn't the one trying to fly around the world. The plane was owned at that time by Rice Lake Weighing Systems.

Studly farmer ! I like that one. Greg is right.

Marc - congrats on the new bird. As long as I have been here I have known you as a steadfast TBM advocate. I hope it lives up to your dreams and am really interested to hear of your experiences as an owner. I share a hangar with one, and must confess to some serious TBM envy. Watch out for the ice...

hey congrats Marc! Hope to see it sometime

Congrats Marc! You sure got a beauty there eh.
Now you know the deal, PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im on my Ipad and havent figure out a way to post pics but Florian as got the right ones. I will post some in the next few days when im back home.

Looking forward to filying the TBM, I guess I wont have to worry about TCM cylinders and LOP anymore.

awesome.

i hate you

When McDonald's fired their egg supplier I immediately pictured Marc picking up the business. Then a few months later he's burning kerosene.

Coincidence? The world may never know.

TCM cylinder headaches go in $2000 increments, you have traded those for headaches that go in $20,000 increments .
