The General Motors TBM‑3E Avenger with military code D‑87 and bureau number 85849 is a preserved United States Navy single‑engine, three‑seat torpedo bomber and reconnaissance aircraft now flown as a civilian warbird. This TBM variant is powered by a Wright R‑2600‑20 Double Cyclone 14‑cylinder air‑cooled radial piston engine driving a three‑bladed propeller with radar equipment and defensive machine guns. It has a low‑wing monoplane design and is shown here in a close‑up pilot view during an air‑to‑air flight at the Erickson Airshow Collection 2025.
