Socata TB-10 Tobago Aircraft 1970s
Originally built by SOCATA, now part of Daher (TBM series).
Pre-1980 piston singles are heritage airframes that have typically been rebuilt and refurbished multiple times — original avionics replaced with modern Garmin or Avidyne panels, engines on at least one mid-time overhaul cycle, interiors refreshed once or twice. Pre-buy focus: airframe corrosion (especially wing carry-through, tail, gear), AD compliance history, log-book continuity, engine cylinder borescope. Heritage value can be meaningful for original aircraft in restored condition.

About the Socata TB-10 Tobago
The Socata TB-9 Tampico, TB-10 Tobago and TB-200 Tobago XL are the fixed-gear members of the Socata TB piston line — low-wing four-seat singles with the same wide cabin and gull-wing doors as the retractable Trinidad. The TB-9 Tampico (160 hp Lycoming O-320) is the entry trainer/tourer; the TB-10 Tobago (180 hp Lycoming O-360, ~130 kt) is the volume four-seat tourer; the TB-200 Tobago XL (200 hp) is the higher-powered variant. Produced from the late 1970s through the 2000s, these are comfortable, well-built European fixed-gear alternatives to the Cessna 172/Piper Cherokee class with notably more cabin width.
