A restored Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, named 'Hunter XVI' and marked as aircraft No. 40, rests on the grass at an airshow. The P-47 served as one of the most rugged fighter-bombers of World War II, and surviving examples like this one continue to honor that legacy on the modern airshow circuit. Project: 219309
