𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐑 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄: The Missouri Wings TBM-3E Avenger came off the production line in May of 1945 at the Eastern Aircraft / General Motors Corporation's Trenton, New Jersey Plant.

On May 19, 1945 the initial inspection was completed and the transfer order for TBM-3E aircraft number 53353 was finalized. For the next few years she would see service on the west coast from San Diego - SO NAS Pearl Harbor - NAF Tillamook - NAF Litchfield - NAS Norfolk.

During the years leading to the Korean War, TBM Avengers were mustered for training and active duty. TBM-3E #53353 was assigned to VS-27 which was an Air Anti-Submarine Squadron.

Designated as a trainer during the Korean War, #53353 and assigned to VS-27 whose aircraft had seen action off the carriers USS Kula Gulf, USS Siboney and USS Boxer Island. All three carriers from WWII were reactivated for use as trainers for pilots heading to the Korean Peninsula.

No. 53353 stayed in service until 1961 when it was transferred from Davis, CA to the Georgia Forestry Commission.

In 1977 our TBM-3E found its first private owner and remained in Florida until 1988.

2000 brought the aircraft to the Missouri Wing of the Commemorative Air Force where she still flies today.

We are excited that the 𝐁-𝟐𝟓 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 "𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐞" will be in the skies above America's Freedom Fest on July 11th!

ABOUT THE AIRCRAFT: "Delivered to the USAAF as 44-31385 in January of 1945, our B-25J stayed in service as a trainer up until it was retired and put into storage at Davis Monthan AFB, AZ in 1958.

In 1959, 44-31385 (being assigned to the Aircraft Disposal Office) was sold to its first private owner officially changing its call sign to N3481G.

During 1969 in Seymour, IL the bomber was damaged on the ground by a windstorm and did not fly again until 1975.

It found its home with the Missouri Wing of the Commemorative Air Force in 1982 and was officially renamed "Show Me" with a civil registration of N345TH.

Thus began its life as a living history aircraft and one of the few elite bombers of the Ghost Squadron."
