Yes Will, funny Cutter got a 900 with no pilot door as Socata state its standard now.
My next one will have a pilot door for sure.

And how a woman who might appear "ordinary" (whatever that means) at first look becomes much more appealing once you find that she is mentally sharp, engaging, intellectually challenging?"
This comment reminded me of something important I could only have learned from flying in my small plane. From 7000' altitude, you cannot tell a $5 M home from a $250 K house. From about 2000' altitude, a $1 M Rolls Royce looks about the same as a $2000 Honda Civic, and from only about 600' altitude, you can't tell a 26 yr old movie star from a 70 yr old homeless hag. Kinda makes you think about the relative importance or unimportance of appearances. This is not working for me.  I still want one. I can tell from 1300 NM miles away you are not flying a TBM 900.

Sure I can bring your orders to Socata on thursday. I would say 10% off on a group buy of 10. I will buy the 11th one. Username Protected wrote: I've seen lots of successful group buys here on BT. How about a BT group buy on some 900's?? What type of discount do you think we can negotiate??

I cant wait. About a previous post, we wanted to have the non-pilot door option, because we have some customers that do not want the pilot door. We have some later models with pilot doors coming our way soon. I start one on one training week after next with the Socata Techs. Yes !!!!!!
