Republic P-47 Thunderbolt 'Hun Hunter XVI' — Airfield Static/Taxi Shot, Lloyd Air Museum

A restored Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, marked 'Hun Hunter XVI,' rests on the grass at the Lloyd Tennessee Air Museum during a June 2014 airshow. The P-47 was one of the heaviest and most rugged single-engine fighters of World War II, prized for its ability to absorb battle damage while delivering devastating firepower against enemy aircraft and ground targets.
