Avenger is delivered to new home in Hawaii

摘要

The Pacific Aviation Museum at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii has taken ownership of Grumman TBM-3E Avenger C-FBQT. The aircraft's final operator was Ag Air Inc, but it has been kept in open storage for several years in British Columbia, Canada. Built as 91171 in 1945, the former torpedo bomber was converted into a crop-sprayer in or around 1957 after completing its military service. Most of the Avengers that survive today were used in civilian hands for either agricultural work or fire-bombing.
