That photo was taken in 1989. Alot of the airplanes there were damaged from that devestating tornado that went through the Museum several years earlier. In fact, the outside displays looked more like a junkyard then a museum.

What's the deal with the oil cooler(?) lookin' thing that is on the front of this TBM project, or is that just an illision of some sort?

I think because the engine and bombay doors are off it looks a little funny.
It's been a while since I've seen the aircraft, as it is in Rhode Island at Larry Webster's, but I certainly remember it in the backyard at NEAM in this same position.

Sounds like a plan. Just gotta watch out for those aerobatic pilots!

I'd be willing to bet my next paycheck that that lil' feller standing in front of 401SL never felt compelled to look upon a warbird again - TBM or not. I think his facial expression indicates he spotted sumthin' better than airplanes.... :lol:
