What I did on my Christmas Vacation


Here is a photo of my me and my friend Ken standing in front of a TBM-3E Avenger. We flew the TBM for about an hour, and I got some great ariel shots of the countryside. (which I'll post later)

This TBM was built in 1945, as a carrier based torpedo bomber. It was meant for a crew of three, with four seats for a pilot, co-pilot, .50 caliber ball turret gunner, and bombardier. (The co-pilot would shinny down to the bombardier seat when on a bombing run.)

Feel free to check out my previous flights in his father's 1943 T-6 Texan, and 1941 Stearman Biplane.
