While the I is not a 400kt plane, it is darn close on the right day and not a heavy load (me plus 200lbs of ballast plus full fuel). Cabin was 10db quieter than seat 31A on an Airbus 321 on the way to maint and 12db quieter than seat 28C on a B737 that was leg 2. Took me a lot longer to get to Tulsa than to get home. Holy crap. Now, I know Anthony, so I won't say "pictures or it didn't happen" - because he doesn't exaggerate. That is fast! Time to head out in this cold weather and see what mine can do!

Why doesn’t Dassault buy them?
Granted I am totally clueless on these matters, so go east on me.
EU and NATO contracts should be easy. It gives them a larger turbo prop and twin. The avanti is a fast plane and wouldn’t cannibalize any of their sales.
Kodiak TBM Avanti Falcon
Fits in perfect.
What are your thoughts?

I think I am wrong, but I do know there is some relationship between them. Daher was Socata as a brand. I believe they are a stand alone Corporate Company. https://www.tbm.aero/page/who-are-we Even have a North American Presence with the acquisition of Triumph Aerostructors in FL. https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/2022/ ... 317279002/
