23:55 - What a terrible bit of ground marshaling!!

[@steveb6103]

The noise on the flight deck with 18 TBMs, F6Fs, and SB2Cs taking off. No wonder me dad couldn't hear much.

[@charlie1571]

My father was a turret gunner on a TBF Grumman. Some of his tales are precious to me since he passed away last year. I really miss him. He was always everybodyes friend.

[@engasal]

'Everybodyes'

[@chingompiew1]

It's funny how those jets in the background look older than these TBM Avengers. The WWII birds are a timeless beautiful design.

[@denmalski]

Avengers!!! Assemble!!

[@aviationmd]

This alongside the SBD will be perfect 👍

[@mikem5043]

It's great that there are still that many flyable examples of that classic warbird

[@danelkington3808]

I absolutely love those old birds.

[@Airpaycheck]

My dad was a radio operator in TBMs at the end of the war. Took him to one of the earlier reunions in Peru (2016 I think). First time he’d been around one since ‘45. He made a beeline to the back door and proceeded to teach the owners about the correct radio setup. They were taking notes.

[@afterburner2869]

The TBM makes the T-6 look like a toy. It brings me great happiness to see all these beautiful Avengers still flying.

[@WgCdrLuddite]

Ten Avengers at once ? Bloody awesome !

[@jamesharrison6201]

What a sight to have the Avengers with Helldivers, Hellcats and Corsairs to make up your airwing

[@claudio743]

One of the best Stuff videos I ever seen,almost got a climax!!

[@overbank56]

It's great to see this many WW II Era planes still flight worthy

[@veng3r663]

Yep ! Back when Americans made things TO last with pride... :)

[@overbank56]

[@TacticalBaguette]

TBM Avengers, assemble

[@frankirvine316]

That would be a rare gathering,with so many at any one time and you may well not see that again Nice to see✅

[@aaaht3810]

Now that is something you don't see too often.

[@ivanlussich8146]

Fine video. I am from Uruguay, 85. I did see Avengers (and F6Fs) in operation here in the fifties. Our Navy bought them in the US, were based at Capt Curbelo Laguna del Sauce airfield (PDP). I watched them from a hill while vacationing nearby--- noisy machines indeed.

[@64MDW]

TBF/TBM and the B-24....the two greatest ever. Period.

[@henrys.6864]

Who decided to turn that "vacuum cleaner" on in the TBM/TBF event? Glad they finally turned it off!

[@aldovelasco4134]

Great and wonderfull bomber!!👍👍

[@landonarthur8564]

I was there at the gathering because I lived in a town south of Peru. I thought the Avenger was the coolest plane I saw that day. If I served in WW2 for the Navy, I would want to fly a Avenger.

[@dianatodd2300]

Love these videos showing the old warbirds flying today! But how did any of these planes survive? Thousands and thousands of WWII planes ended up as razor blades and car parts.

[@tyreekmurillo4524]

one of my all time favorite warbirds, really seems like the cadillac of the skies

[@dekdawg21]

Love the Avenger! This is awesome. Looks good on grey!

[@crownzip]

I wish air show announcers would shut up and let us listen to those amazing engines!

[@AlexIsModded]

You don't really understand how loud a Grumman is until you are near them in person. I was at an airport today getting my medical, and a guy flew in on a TBF. Could hear the engine from inside on the other side of the building, it was that loud. For perspective I was maybe 150 - 175 feet away, and it felt like the plane was right beside the building.

[@Jim-re3sr]

Pretty smokey on the carrier decks. Great video

[@foedspaghetti3290]

Pretty impressive

[@seangreene64]

What a beautiful site. That’s awesome 😎

[@zad79snafu67]

Tough bird TBM AVENGERS!! So cool to see that many still exist and flying!!i love ww2 aircraft.

[@gene2200]

Dad would of loved this, was trained for night time raids then were put on the Big E. Have some great in formation photos he took being the radioman, ship was almost set to go I believe then the bomb was dropped, on his birthday no less.

[@oat138]

Nice to see them doing that MITO....Gives the B-52's a run for the money.

[@alexenns3203]

Beautiful

[@ronaldmaerz7045]

In 1952 we had a Tbm fly over our island (kwajalein) and spray for insects etc. Have picture.

[@kcjones679]

And today there is one less. Years of restoration after that water landing in Cocoa.

[@geolson1]

I live in Peru Il and attend this event yearly, in fact we had it today but the weather ruined it this year

[@AirshowStuffVideos]

We were here as well! Lots of time in the hangar. Very frustrating.

[@geolson1]

@@AirshowStuffVideos Me too....finally ventured out to find my truck and head home, could have made a fortune pulling folks out of the parking areas!

[@gene2200]

53 is from Smart field 30 minutes from me, they do a pumpkin drop or bombing every year along with a beautiful B-25

[@muhammadalzarkauimarcelino4932]

👀Isso alega nossos olhos e o Coração de mundos Veteranos ✌

[@johndeerfan5599]

If flight 19 was here

[@EudgenS]

Wow!!!!

[@DividedByZeero]

Just a spec of what the IJN Yamato saw TBM Avengers, the best torpedo bomber we had during the war Naval aviation might have changed but the Avenger is still one of the greatest planes we had

[@danielblythe5337]

Can't hear the avengers with the hyper person running jet engine. A gift to see and hear this many avengers at one time

[@kibidk]

Beautiful display. However, jet engines running right in front of the audience during prop-planes flyby - bad planning!

[@petersanders5321]

Put yourself back then. Routine, scramble, launch! Just kidding guys. Good to see the old war birds a'flying...

[@mousepad9999]

Anyone know what version is the one with the additional twin vertical stabs and their purpose?

[@budusaf6264]

A useful aircraft. After the war many were used as crop dusters and fire bombers. That might account for the stabs. I was there and it was a great show, the parking was free and I don't think you paid to get ineither.

[@SoggySoxSaga]

The TBM-3W had these structures on it. It was a radar warning version with a huge radome on the belly. Maybe this is one that has been modified. The Fairey Gannet has these structures also.

[@kristenk2235]

I was there

[@melted_cheetah]

Wow didn't know so many are left. Are they old, retired firebombers?

[@billsmith5109]

British Columbia used to operate a fleet. B-25’s also.

[@kenprice1961]

What is it with these "announcers" that think they have to scream into a mike?

[@jockellis]

Everyone if these planes was made by GM and not Grumman?

[@websitesthatneedanem]

23:55 - What Terrible bit of ground marshaling!!

[@edsonpagliarone400]

Patrol 19...🤔

[@trevoryaggie5209]

89 is my plane lol

[@charlesharwood5705]

"Who Flys planes like these anymore? No one, these planes where reported missing back in 1945

[@indiegun]

Awesome reference! He did say 'crates' and not 'planes' though. One of my favorite movies of all time.

[@tailgunnerrich592]

Off they go into the Bermuda Triangle.

[@laineys9113]

haha avengers assemble

[@websitesthatneedanem]

23:55 - What a terrible nit of ground marshaling!!

[@mike9347]

Such an ugly aircraft, yet beautiful at the same time. Weird.

[@CJB-]

Has anyone be idiot enough to take off with the wings folded?

[@P61guy61]

All turbines should be shut down whenever a formation of round engines is flying over. All that prop music drowned by jets. Sacrilege.

[@joaomarcelo8799]

Muito ridículo
