Figure This One Out..........

TBM-3 owned by Holly Fletcher of Aeroflite Troutdael, Oregon

[Nathan]

Water leaked out of the water tank, into the wing and out she goes?

Or someone drank too much coffee?

Or testing out a new type of spray system?

[Karpis]

Obviously modified as a crop duster

[Elroy13]

Umm...the latest bootleggin aircraft sprang a leak!?

Flushing the system on a Ag sprayer or a firebomber?

[Jack Cook]

I was referring to the a/c itself. Find it on the civil register.
Good luck. N9594C.

[Larry Kraus]

I'd guess that its an overwing spray bar.

Over at Mustangs Mustangs there was a deal that was active called "Mustang Who?" . Curtis would put up a photo of a P-51 that someone had sent in, then folks would try & identify it. I guess Jack can start a "Jack's Who?" I got one of the P-51's once in a while, but I'm gonna have to work a little harder to get "Jack's Who".

That's John Sandberg doing some airflow visualization tests on his racing TBM. See how he's bondoed the wing smooth and added the controversial afterburner on the belly?

RARA wouldn't even let him try to qualify in 1978.

[Steve Nelson]

The pilot had a lot of coffee and needed to use the relief tube?

Not To rain on ya'll parade but I really was interested in the
civil history of this bird. It crash fatally into a Montana Lake and I think the pilot's still in it.

[Karpis]

I guess I'm confused. Find it on the civil register? You mean now? It's not ON the civil register. That number belongs to something very UNLIKE a TBM

[Jack Cook]

There's no record I can find of this a/c ever being registered and this N number ever having been on a TBM
It was, a believe, an X-RCN ASW bird.
