Provo to Telluride

Featured Replies

We're leaving Provo for Telluride Colorado...  its a real murky day here (again!) with a lovely recipe of snow and rain (thar be icing!).

I'm sporting a fantastic paint job by Tim-HH, flying the incredible Black Square TBM 850, and leaving Verticalsim's KPVU and arriving default KTEX (Gaya I think?).  Of course we're always equipped with the TDS GTNxi when possible...

Ready for start

Really poor vis here...one can just make out the VOR....

No airliners at the gate...probably no one making it in.

From the moment we leave the ground we're basically in the soup...anti icing on!  I love the TBM because everything the pilot needs is accessible in front of his/her face.

All configured and the TBM can go quite slow on final if needed...

Thank you!  Yes indeed the TBM is an extremely capable aircraft, a while being quite speedy
