"This is a friend of mine aircraft it was saved from being scrapped when it was down at Tom Reilly's old place in Florida. The owner is a tad busy rebuilding 2 SB2C Helldivers, and SBD."

Isn't this TBM actually owned by Mike Rawson that works at Vultures Row Aviation where they're restoring ONE SB2c and just finished an SBD?

Yep, though the SB2C is now at Westpac for completion (early on in that project there was mention of being able to do a second one, if there was a client - now Vulture's Row of course has a number of Corsair projects underway).

Not to hijack the thread, but....
Whatever happened to the F-101A, F-4 and A-4's?
I remember all that stuff there back in the 90's...
