TBM-3E Avenger takes a local hop around the Chino traffic pattern

Still fitted with a Canadian style canopy

Sold in the US as N337GA in 1994

Sold in Australia as VH-MML in September 2005.

On display aboard USS Intrepid, which embarked Avengers during World War II. The -3E was lighter than the TBM-3 and had no ventral gun, resulting in increased max. speed of 276 mph and a better rate of climb. Unlike the TBM-3, it did not have a fully retractable tail hook. The type was fitted with an underwing rack to starboard for an AN/APS-4 radar pod. Below the aircraft is a Mark 13 aerial torpedo. This 3E with BuNo 53842 was taken on charge by the USN on 27 June 1945.

Swapping parts has given this aircraft a jumbled fleet number
