Well Brad, you got me beat.

Can't say I'm surprised though.

Nick and I flew my parents up to Everett Sat. For the fly day at Flying Heritage. Bud was there to fly the 109 (sweet sight to see, I took pictures but haven't gotten them developed yet) so I introduced my parents to him and Carol. During the course of their conversations, the TBM, you, the Tea Party and the Animal all came up. I think I saw my parents being concerned for me, and amused all at the same time.

Good stuff, you should send it to Scott for the registry.

It's got a turret now! It should be getting a new paint job pretty soon as well.

Nice TBM.
It would only need a matte finish to be perfect.

Nice to see the turret back on the Avenger!
Did the museum restore the turret or was it done out of house?

While it's a bummer it's no longer up here it's nice to see a turret back on it. Is it gonna get a new paint job?

Oops! I guess I got too excited to look at the pictures and skipped the second sentence.

The turret work and installation were done by John & Nancy Lane's shop, Airpower Unlimited, in Idaho. The TBM is now owned by an individual in Washington (no longer the Olympic Flight Museum) and is back in the Seattle area. I would think that after the paint job is finished it will be on the airshow circuit.

That's good to hear. I can't wait to see it!
