    In my opinion this is one of the most beautifully restored P-47s out there

    My dad taught aerial combat in the P-47. I still have his flight log book from the war.

    My mom just sent me this video; Bill was the commander of my grandfathers squadron the 460th. Incredible men doing incredible things to say the least. He flew the P51 later but always preferred the P47.

    Love them razorbacks! Cuffed prop blades too, really enhanced performance.

    My father flew the P47 & P51 in New Guinea and the Philippines during WW2. He will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery next Month. He reported that pilots preferred the P47 over the P51 because of its firepower, ruggedness, and its roomy comfortable cockpit versus the cramped P51

    It's remarkable how beautiful the p47 razorback looks on one hand and how horrendously ugly the bubble canopy one is on the other hand.

      Amen! Just like the P-51B/C look better than the D.

    Beautiful! What are the black stripes on the wings for? They look a bit like D-Day livery but if it was in the Pacific that wouldn't be the case.

    Lovely aircraft. Does it have the turbo supercharger installed?

      Yes and functional.

      @@stefanhokuf3121 TY. I heard many if not all P 38s flying do not have them in use. Glad to hear this a/c does.

    Amazing restoration. In my opinion is the flight presentation too risky. 100 ft higher still would be quite low
