The first Annual Gathering of TBM Avengers was in April of 2016 and the weather turned out pretty good for that day. In 2017, the dates were moved to May, though it was dreary most of the day. I hope the 2018 show has better weather.

This years TBM Gathering/Salute to Veterans is shaping up to be another amazing event. We have 15 TBMs committed and are talking with 4 more. In addition to the TBMs we are expecting 3 mustangs, 3 skyraiders, 2 corsairs, a Wildcat, a B25, an F 86, a mig 17, Lots of T6,s. a beech 18, the list goes on and on. There will be rides in TBM,s, rides in T6,s, rides in helicopters. This should be the largest Warbird event in the midwest short of Oshkosh. Ohhh, and its all FREE to the public. (Per brads Facebook post)
