Just two years after it marked the milestone of its 1,000th delivery of the TBM series, Daher has added 100 more tallies in the book for the single-engine turboprop models.

The company announced this week it has handed over a TBM 960 to serial owner Bruce McCollum, who makes this his third TBM. McCollum, an active private pilot, has owned a TBM 850 and a TBM 900. He met the airplane at Daher’s manufacturing complex in Tarbes, France, in order to fly the airplane back across the Atlantic where he would formally take possession at a ceremony at the company’s service center in Pompano Beach.
