Daher honored long-time pilot Margrit Waltz for completing her 960th ferry flight, an achievement notched last month when she completed a transatlantic trip to deliver a new-production TBM 960 turboprop single to an owner in North America. Daher recognized Waltz last week during the Aero Friedrichshafen show.

Completed in 15 hours and 38 minutes, the milestone flight involved a trip from Daher’s TBM production facility in Tarbes, France, to the U.S. operations base for Daher’s aircraft division in Pompano Beach, Florida, with stopovers in Wick, UK; Keflavik, Iceland; and Canada’s Goose Bay.
