ww2flyer-
Welcome to the asylum! Pull up a seat and enjoy the show! For the most part we're fairly harmless and you will no doubt find a kindred soul who can turn you on to the guy who knows the guy- :wink:

Try Forest Protection Limited in eastern Canada. they used to operate Grumman Avengers for bug spraying but have phased them out of service. They have a few still sitting at the Fredericton airport that I'm sure they would be willing to part with.

Forest Protection Limited supposedly has six TBM's that they were looking to sell. They'll have an additional two airframes available in 2009/2010 according to a .pdf brochure they sent out three months ago. They also have boo-koo spare parts as well. I have a copy of the .pdf and I'd be glad to forward it to you if you like. Just IM me, or post your e-mail address. 8)

I think Lonestar Flight Museum has one. Don't know if it was flown out of the storm or not. It Could probably be bought right and as high as the TBM sits off the ground the engine and cockpit may not have gotten wet. LSFM has more problems and airplane projects than they can say grace over right now.
Second, Courtesy Aircraft has sold two or three this year and they would have really good information about the values of them in flying condition, with and without turrets, bombay doors, combat history etc. They sell a couple of TBM's every year and they have a good reputation
