CAF Rocky Mountain Wing | Grand Junction, CO
Step back in time and help keep a legendary warbird in the sky by joining the Commemorative Air Force Rocky Mountain Wing for TBM Avenger Rides Day on March 21 at the Grand Junction Airport from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. This is your chance to fly in the largest single-engine bomber of World War II, an 18,000-pound powerhouse driven by a 1,900-horsepower radial engine and built to carry a 2,000-pound bomb load. The TBM helped turn the tide in the Pacific, and our aircraft has an incredible story of its own, from Royal Navy anti-submarine missions to leading a flyover for Queen Elizabeth’s coronation jubilee and even appearing in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is also one of only seven aircraft ever listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and one of only two still flying regularly.
Every ride directly supports our mission to educate, inspire, and honor through aviation history, while keeping this remarkable aircraft flying for future generations.
