Planning for the 2024 TBM Avenger Reunion and Salute to Veterans has begun!
The dates for the 2024 edition will be May 17th & 18th at Illinois Valley Regional Airport (KVYS) in Peru, Illinois
We are excited to announce the return of the TITAN Aerobatic Team (formerly AeroShell Aerobatic Team). They'll perform their 4-ship aerobatic routine in their T-6/SNJ Texans. They will be performing their Night Airshow on Friday Night and also their Day Show on Saturday
Friday Night will feature the "TBM Glow", our now famous and copied nighttime TBM Avenger Engine Run-Up. Immediately after the TBM Glow, we'll have our FIRST EVER FIREWORKS SHOW to end the Friday Night activities.
Friday Night will also feature live music by "Regal Beagle" and a Beer Garden!
The Yankee Air Museum's B-17G Flying Fortress "Yankee Lady" will be offering rides on Thursday & Sunday. It will be on display and giving tours on Friday & Saturday during the event. Their UH-1H Huey Greyhound Vietnam Era helicopter will also be giving rides throughout our event. Additionally, we'll have rides offered in T-6s and maybe a couple of other surprises!
As usual, we'll have many other great warbirds from World War II and various other eras attending as well as our main contingent of TBM Avengers.
