You can tell how a company feels about its year by the way it walks into its own press conference. Daher walked into Oshkosh with the confidence of someone with an ace up their sleeve. And their numbers confirmed it. Thirty TBM 980s delivered so far in 2026, a record for a single-engine turboprop that has been in continuous production for more than three decades. Step back, and it feels like they are running up the score: 1,319 TBMs delivered since the program began and 2.8 million flight hours logged. The Daher secret to success is building an airframe that consistently delivers season after season, for people who fly them hard.And when it comes to value, TBMs prove their worth yet again: according to Daher, when a clean used one comes up for sale, it tends to be gone inside a week. The market has spoken, and these airframes should be at the top of every broker's list. That kind of limited depreciation almost puts the TBM in investment territory. And while that sales strength likely rides on interest rates and a thin supply of clean used turboprops, it's hard to argue with that kind of market power.Turning to Florida, Daher broke ground on a final assembly building in Stuart and is hiring to fill it. A French turboprop manufacturer assembling aircraft on the Florida coast is the kind of sentence that would have sounded far-fetched a decade ago. It will not be operating tomorrow, and anyone who has watched an aircraft line come online knows the first aircraft is always late. But the intent is unmistakable. Daher is building closer to the customers who buy the most TBMs and Kodiaks, and betting that the North American market keeps asking for more.The piece I keep coming back to is the safety suite, which Daher calls Fly Differently. Three-dimensional taxi guidance, CAVS visual separation, stabilized approach monitoring, and TAWS-B terrain awareness. Read that list as a pilot and you see what Daher is actually doing. The TBM is a fast, single-pilot, owner-flown turboprop and that combination is exactly where the most accidents happen. That type of situational awareness is normally only found in an airline cockpit. This is not a spec sheet flex; it is the company aiming its engineering at the part of the mission that has always been the most dangerous.The aircraft also have Starlink for in-flight data and connectivity. Ten years ago, that was a business-jet feature. Now, it is in owner-flown turboprops, and the gap between the two categories keeps shrinking.The Kodiak line had its own numbers to show: 401 Kodiaks delivered in all, 370 of them the Kodiak 100 that anchors the family. My favorite story of the day came from that side of the house. An animal-rescue nonprofit called Pilots to the Rescue flies a Kodiak 100 on its missions, and every pilot in the operation is a volunteer. It doubles as a turbine time builder, which means pilots chasing that first serious block of PIC turbine experience are logging it while flying animals out of harm's way. Good aircraft, good cause and a smart way to grow the next generation of turbine pilots. Hard to argue with any of it.None of that flying matters if the aircraft cannot be serviced, which is why the least glamorous part of the briefing might be the most important. Daher is expanding its support network, standing up a new logistics center, and now covers the country with four company service centers and 71 authorized third-party locations. That is the unromantic infrastructure that turns a good aircraft into a good ownership experience, and it is usually the thing manufacturers under-invest in until the fleet punishes them for it.Add it up and Daher is not waiting for the market to come to it. Record deliveries, a new line in the ground, safety tech aimed where it counts, and a support network catching up to the fleet. The company spent this press conference doing the aviation equivalent of a mic drop. Now it has to build the aircraft to back it up.
