There is some real aviation pedigree gathered in Las Vegas for NBAA 2011, but you won’t find a company with a richer heritage than Socata.
Socata traces its history back to 1911, when aeronautical engineer Raymond Saulnier and Léon Morane began developing monoplanes, rather than the biplanes that were more popular at the time. The centenary Socata TBM 850 wears a paint scheme designed by French studio Happy Design.
