Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Walkaround Gallery

Republic P-47D Thunderbolt NX47RP USAF Palm Springs 2013

According to the blurb this Jug served withthe Peruvian air force but is now painted as a WWII machine. I found the Thunderbolt to be not as big as I was expecting, even sitting next to a Spitfire, it was not as imposing as I'd imagined.
