If the Cessna is the ‘Citroen 2 CV’, the Socata is the ‘Renault 4’. French, reliable, iconic, comfortable, and just a little more attention to ergonomics. That is the Socata TB9.

Since 2018 flying under Dutch registration and with great regularity I’ve made wonderful trips in Western Europe. Fair is fair: it is not an ultimate travel plane but for short and medium trips very comfortable.
Have you just got your license or are you about to buy your first plane: then this is a very good starter. What you need is installed, no other complicated avionics. What you see is what you get and -besides all the fun- that is a lot.
And why am I going to sell it anyway? I fly it for almost 6 years with great pleasure (still flying). Now I have more flying experience and want to move up in the segment. A little faster, a little further.......  From a Renault 4 to a Renault 9, to stay in comparisons.
Although I would like to fly a little bit faster I am not in a hurry to sell the plane: I am not rushing into anything but allowing another pilot the fun and pleasure I've had flying this TB9. And meanwhile: I check PlaneCheck for another love.
