There was just a news report that a TBM crash landed on a highway and was seriously damaged, not much concrete info yet.

I saw this on FOX News earlier. The said the pilot did a heck of a job not hitting any cars.

Unfortunate though this incident was, I'm glad it wasn't an Avenger as first suggested.

A-men to that.

my apologies for the posting, I just learned that it was a Socata, The initial report I read said only TBM.

No worries - We're lucky the news media even said what type of plane it was.

HUGE sigh of relief. The pilot/passenger are safe and it wasn't an Avenger!

I think the driver of the cars on the highway deserve more of the credit for there not being a collision, than the pilot of the aircraft.

Glad to hear everyone is safe and that it wasn't a TBM.

Hazards of modern aircraft naming. At least no one was hurt seriously.
