Looks great! Is this the same TBM I saw in Frederick, MD in the late '90's on the ramp? If so, I'm really glad to see it being taken care of so well!
I was on a cross country training flight when I saw it. I was flying a Piper Tomahawk and was thinking of asking to see if the owner would want to trade even-up!

It is the same TBM. She ran afoul of some hard times before Jack Kosko and his crew took her in. If this TBM turns out anything like Jack's previous restoration, it's going to be one beautiful bird when they're done with it.

John,
It's getting closer... I can't wait to see it coming over the fence at KCJR.
