OK, I'll play too........All photos are property of the USFG, unless otherwise noted.
These are a few that I posted awhile back.....oldies but goodies.
A U.S. Navy Grumman TBM-3R Avenger (BuNo 53581) of transport squadron VR-5 on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Boxer (CVA-21) operating off the coast of California (USA), in the early 1950s. VR-5 performed Carrier On-board Delivery (COD) duties, transporting personnel, mail, and cargo between ships and from ship to shore.

VR-5 performed Carrier On-board Delivery (COD) duties, transporting personnel, mail, and cargo between ships and from ship to shore.
U.S. Navy Grumman TBM-3R Avenger (BuNo 85905) of transport squadron VR-23 in flight over Korea, 25 June 1953.
A U.S. Navy Grumman TBM-3U Avenger (BuNo 69400) of utility squadron VU-7A at Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii (USA), circa 1948. Note the non-standard paint scheme, including yellow wings and and tail, that was common on utility aircraft of the era. Utility aircraft were generally employed in target-towing, drone control, and other duties.
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Here's one more helping of Turkey. This is the Va Beach Military Aviation Museum's TBM-3E enroute to an airshow last year. Yours truly is in the back seat, and was correctly referred to as "self loading baggage"!
