    No announcer, no music. Just the sound or radial engines doing what they do best. Sound awesome!!!

    The Avenger is basically the Father to the Skyraider. Naval Aircraft are so amazing in that they had to pack a huge punch into a single aircraft. These things are beasts and I love it!!

    The Avenger with the #3 was an old Forestry water bomber, sat at NAS Wildwood, NJ, for some time. Didn`t know they got it airworthy. There was a second plane that the museum restored to static display.

      ACAM has one and New Brunswick has one, both rebuilt cosmetically after crashes. Shearwater has the very last airworthy (when it flew there) FPL tanker although it has been reconfigured to RCN configuration.

    The #3 was like the ones we watched at the Downsview Airforce base when we were in our early teens ..we would ride our bikes out and hop the fence and watch the planes coming down the taxi strip.. wave and take photos - F86, T33 , Avengers, Beavers, Otters, C119's etc etc.. early 1960's

    I grew up listening to the sound of TBM-3’s flying in formation up the St. John river valley in New Brunswick Canada. Forest Protection Limited had the last working fleet of TMB-3’s in the world. I wanted to get my license and fly for FPL, when I heard the fleet was being retired and replaced with AT802’s I shelved my dreams of flying 😢

    World War 2 aircraft are some of the most beautiful air planes to take to the sky.
    My uncle flew from the Lexington in the pacific. He bought a surplus WWII trainer when he retired from the Airforce, I have quit a few hours in the back seat of a BT13.
    Great times I will never forget.
    RIP Uncle Tom.

    The one thing you should never do, the gentleman in the video was doing, stand to the side of the plane in line wit the prop. If there is a prop failure and it hits you, I think you know the outcome.

    My dad said he worked on SBDs, SP2Cs and F4Us I think are the designations in the USMC. He told me of a story about watching a mechanic beating down the indicator flag for the wing folding lockpins while the pilot was preparing for a mission. He said if he was the pilot that he would have pulled out his pistol and shot the mechanic. I'm sure he was exaggerating. I relayed this story to someone who was familiar with the wing folding/locking mechanism. He said that it was standard procedure to use a rubber hammer to pound the area near the lockpins to get them to drive into their fully locked position. My dad had a tendency to jump to wrong conclusions sometimes.

    It always seemed strange to me that the Wildcat and Avengers were operating off the small baby flat-tops, while we're told the F6 Hellcat and F4U Corsairs couldn't... 0~o I mean just look at the size of this thing. Flying barn much with an internal bomb bay that can carry a Torpedo... I believe it wasn't that they couldn't, it was simply because both the Wildcat and Avengers wings fold back along the body, while the Hellcats and Corsairs wing fold upwards it was a case of useful space/loading. i,e. you could get more F4's and TBM's aboard the small ship.
