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 (till 2018 it was registrated in Germany) and with great regularity I ve made wonderful trips in Western Europe. Fair is fair: The TB9 is not the ultimate travel plane but for short and medium trips very comfortable with and extreme roomy cabin.
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! .
So why am I going to sell it anyway? I fly it for almost 6 years with a very very 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.

Delivery is from Teuge (EHTE) as is where is . The plane is ready to sell: delivery can be arranged very quickly. Transport (including all costs e.g. ECoA) is at buyers expense. For a longer ferry however, I ve got a ferry pilot available if needed.

Important message: I ve learned during negotiations: the plane will only leave Teuge Airport after all payments are done. And the plane is going to be sold as is, where is . If you don t agree with that: please don t react on this advertisement.
