A Socata TBM700N (TBM850), N860CA, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident at Kalispell City Airport (S27), Kalispell, Montana. The pilot and three passengers were not injured.
Preliminary information indicates the airplane stalled before landing on runway 13 and skidded from the left side of the runway, just before threshold, to the left platform and struck a stationary unoccupied Cherokee. The Cherokee spun around and struck the horizontal stabilizer into a parked Citation CJ jet, damaging the right aileron. The post crash fire consumed the Socata and a parked Swearingen SX-300. Also, a parked Cessna 172 sustained thermal damage to the left wing.
