Air-to-Air TBM and Premier

[Lowflynjack]

Legendary air-to-air photographer Glenn Watson (MachPointOne) asked me to shoot some photos of him! Talk about pressure!

We met him in the air on his way back to Austin in a TBM, but we were limited on time and only got a couple of shots. Then he joined me and his photo pilot in his Bonanza and we flew to Houston Hobby, where he picked up the Premier. By the time we joined up, I had 12 minutes to get the shots before sunset... the pressure!! Fun day for sure.

Jets are cool and all, but you just can't beat the look of something with propellers, so much more character.

Also, if anyone ever needed a reason to lust after a TBM, look no further. Sorry, but TBM > PC12

The TBM and the PC12 may both be single engine turbo props, but they really aren’t in the same class. Different airplanes for different missions.

Beautiful Pics Jack.

My son flies a TBM and he said it flies as good as it looks. That one looks great!

This is true, but most Pilots I talk to at least around here seem to have a preference to the pc-12. A capable plane for sure and basically invalidates the existence of the King Air for most missions

PC-12 is too Chevy suburban or Cadillac Escalade. Pretty much only driven by Uber black or chauffeur companies

TBM, if we are sticking with the SUV analogy is much more like a Porsche Macan..

Work of art, as usual. You had nothing to fear from another photographer.
