Eric,

Just to let you know, Tom Duffy's TBM is actually N88TD instead of N88HP.

This TBM was the very first airplane I ever got to ride in, warbird or otherwise. It was 18Jun84, back when the airplane was still owned by Howard Pardue down in Breckenridge, Texas. I rode in the turret and my little brother rode in the center. I put a couple of pictures of it on webshots.

I've been lucky to be involved with warbirds most of my life and have made some very good friends in this business. But, I have to say that Howard is responsible for getting me into warbirds to begin with. Had he not been so nice to me when I was a little kid, I would never have stayed interested and certainly never had the chances that I've had. I don't know that I would have ever made military aviation a career either.
