Summary

Description

This beautiful example of a TBM-3 Avenger has attended the AirExpo before, but it is clear that they have done some nice work to it since it was last here. They have added an underwing radar pod under the right wing and rockets under both wings.

The TBM Avenger was used as a carrier based Torpedo Bomber during WWII. TBM Avengers were built by General Motors. TBF Avengers were built by Grumman -- the company that designed the Avenger. The Avenger is the same type of aircraft that was flown by the first President Bush.

I know I took a lot of photos of it, but the pilot, Brad "Hollywood" Deckert obviously liked to fly it and did three flights while I was at the show.

The wings on this airplane fold up using hydraulics. In this photo the wings are almost fully folded.
