Republic P-47 Thunderbolt "Wicked Wabbit" Taxiing at Air Show

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt "Wicked Wabbit" taxies out for a flight demonstration, its polished aluminum skin and hand-painted nose art recalling the aircraft type's legendary reputation as a rugged, heavily armed fighter-bomber of World War II. Restored warbirds like this one continue to fly at air shows across the country, preserving the look and sound of American combat aviation for new generations. Project: 219309
