The upcoming 2018 Avenger Gathering in LaSalle Peru, Illinois will be the 3rd annual event, and it seems to be growing fast. Although last year was almost a rainout, a lot of folks still showed up to see 7 Avengers that braved the foul weather. In 2016, over 20,000 people attended. The event had been founded and is presently headed up by Brad Deckert from Eureka, Illinois. Brad owns and flies a the magnificently outfitted TBM "T83"
