Daher today announced the delivery of its 300th TBM 900-series very fast turboprop aircraft, which incorporates a personalized paint scheme for its owners – Dr. Ian Blair Fries and his wife Susan Fries, who received this TBM 940 version as the fourth TBM-family airplane they have acquired over the past 20 years. The special gold and white exterior design, created by Scheme Designers for the Fries, includes an extra personal touch added at the Daher Aircraft, Inc. subsidiary in Florida, USA: a red carnation in honor of the flower worn daily for 50 years by Dr. Fries in honor of his patients. Daher’s TBM 900 series is the company’s in-production TBM product line, having been launched in 2014 and available today in the TBM 910 and TBM 940 configurations. Prior to receiving their new TBM 940, Dr. Fries and Susan previously owned a TBM 700B, TBM 850 and TBM 900.“Based on the TBM’s proven design, the upgrades that Daher brings to each new model amply justified our purchases of the four aircraft,” he explained. “The TBM fits our transportation profile: I can plan for a 1,000-nautical mile flight under almost any conditions. And it is a pleasure to work with many of the same people for years, which is a credit to Daher. Additionally, I consider the five-year warranty of significant value alone in justifying a new acquisition.”
