Reservation to ride the 1945 TBM Navy Avenger WWII Bomber

The Avenger was Grumman's first torpedo aircraft and first saw action on 4 June 1942 against the Japanese carrier striking force at the Battle of Midway.

The Avenger's virtues, especially its ruggedness, reliability, and stability as a weapons platform, ensured it a remarkably long operational history. It in fact remained in service - as an anti-submarine and airborne early-warning aircraft - until 1954.

2 people may ride - Cost: $475

Your ride experience will last about 30 minutes, with at least 20 minutes airborne.
