This restored, historical TBF/TBM "Avenger" is now available for your event!

	VERY popular due to its uniquely folding wings and huge size (largest single-engined aircraft used in WWII)
	A rare flying museum exhibit that allows the public to walk on sturdy, safe steps over the wings to view pilot & turret gunner crew stations
	Historically significant carrier-based aircraft used in both Atlantic and Pacific theaters of WWII, the Korean conflict, and beyond.
	This aircraft type was flown by President George H. W. Bush when he was shot down - twice!
	Five TBMs in Flight 19 were lost in the "Bermuda Triangle" in December, 1945. This very aircraft was used in the recreation filming of "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" - a flying movie star!
	Our TBM Avenger was the "Cover Girl" on the National CAF Dispatch magazine. The photo was taken at annual CAF AirSho held the second weekend of October each year. All CAF aircraft are brought "home" where we reenact all the aerial battles of WWII with the original aircraft. The CAF is also expanding into Korea and Vietnam aircraft in its collection. Modern military aircraft are also featured in this, the best airshow of the year - every year! Click on the magazine cover at right to view the article.
