Not sure I'm a fan of the dark interior. But the rest of the plane was in great shape. Still in the shop getting squawks completed......hope to have it in the next week or so. It has really sucked being planeless!

Thanks Marc. I've flown a friend of mines several times the last couple years. I'm looking forward to it. I really loved the phenom. I do a milk run to Naples about once a month and the Phenom can not make it non-stop. Tipping point was I had several trips that on returning to my home airport I had to land on ice/snow covered runway. With the phenom I would have had to divert. For most of my trips I just couldn't beat the TBM.

John......I loosely looked at the CJ2. Operating expenses, type rating etc just too much for me to bite off at this time. My home drome has 5000 ft runway and in the winter runway is contaminated .........just more challlenging in a jet.

Charles.....in the TBM 700 C2 1200 nm was routine. I imagine the 850 will be similar. I know the books say 1700. Not sure I believe that.......

Great looking plane Michael! I think the black interior looks great. I had it on my Cirrus and it doesn't show scuffing or staining as much as the lighter colors.
