P-47 Thunderbolts 'Wicked Wabbit' and 'Hun Hunter XVI' at Air Show, June 2014

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, nicknamed the 'Jug' for its massive fuselage, was one of the heaviest and most rugged single-engine fighters of World War II, prized for its firepower and ability to absorb battle damage. These two beautifully restored examples, 'Wicked Wabbit' and 'Hun Hunter XVI,' represent the enduring legacy of the type and the pilots who flew it in combat over Europe and the Pacific.
