I was out by Dayton, OH a couple weeks ago and stopped at the Wright Paterson Air Museum. If you want to see airplanes, that is the place to go. Admission is free yet besides. I don't know how they got the B52 in there but that thing is huge when you walk around and under it. Also they had a B1 and a B2. Also the F17 Stealth and Blackbird, minuteman missiles, and just about anything else the Air Force ever flew. They have a great web site to look around on. Link is below. These are some of the pictures we took. I can post more if your interested. Didn't mean to hijack your post but as long as it is on topic.

That looks like an awesome museum to visit. They even have an AVRO Canada CF100. When the Avro Arrow was cancelled a group of 25 engineers and key people went to work at NASA. It's been stated that without them, it would have taken a lot longer to put a man on the moon. Avro Canada were the recognized world leaders in aircraft R&D in the late 50's. Nice to see see some Canadian pride on display in a US museum.

TBM, huh? Sounds like an Eastern Aircraft-built Avenger. My Mother's first husband built Wildcats for Eastern at Linden N. J.
