Republic P-47 Thunderbolt "Hun Hunter XVI" on Display Ramp with P-51 Mustang, June 2014 Air Show

A restored Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, named "Hun Hunter XVI," rests on the ramp beside a North American P-51 Mustang during a warbird air show. The P-47 was one of the heaviest and most rugged single-engine fighters of World War II, prized by pilots for its ability to absorb battle damage and deliver devastating firepower in both air-to-air combat and ground attack roles.
