Huh. You know I always thought the aft MG position mounted two guns. Been looking at Avengers for years but I never noticed the one MG before.
Learn something new every day, I guess.

Saw a pair of these, outfitted for crop-spraying, on the strip at Buttonwillow, CA, many years ago...I wonder if they ever found a "proper home."

I love the TBM Avenger and the wing fold, this plane reminds me of an actual albatross; fitting if it wasn't named Avenger.

[@Rickinsf]

I always thought the wing-folding design was pure genius.

@@Rickinsf genius carried through to the E-2 Hawkeye, love watching it too.
