When pilots talk about flying an airplane over the Atlantic, they typically have a solid reason to go. Crossing an ocean “just because it’s there” went away when legendary pilots made the first crossings in the late 1920s and ’30s.
With an invitation to join master ferry pilot Margrit Waltz as she helped to deliver a brand new TBM 940 from the Daher factory in Tarbes, France, to a dealer in Connecticut, we had our mission.
Fly along with us on the five legs of the journey as we highlight some of the decision making Waltz goes through, along with the specific performance criteria that allow her to make the mission a success.
