Description The Swiss Grumman TBM Avenger flying over BEX (Switzerland).
This plane belongs to Charles Trachsel since 2005.
This is why his name is "Charlie's Heavy".

The "19" on the tail is an ironic detail...

Flight 19 was the group of 5 TBM Avengers that vanished off the coast of Florida in 1945.  It's one of the big stories in the mythology of the supposed "Bermuda Triangle".

Beautiful photo!

I knew that story but did not linked it to the 19 on this Swiss Avenger. Many thanks for your answer.
