The restored P-47 Thunderbolt 'Wicked Wabbit' banks overhead during the June 2014 air show at the Lloyd TN Air Museum. One of the most heavily armed and armored American fighters of WWII, the Thunderbolt paved the way for the ground-attack legacy later carried on by aircraft like the A-1 Skyraider over Vietnam.
