Republic P-47 Thunderbolt "Wicked Wabbit" (Tail 490438) in Flight, Lloyd TN Air Museum Air Show

This Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, nicknamed "Wicked Wabbit" and marked with tail number 490438, represents one of the most rugged and heavily armed American fighters of World War II. Known for its powerful radial engine and ability to absorb battle damage, the P-47 served in both fighter and ground-attack roles across every theater of the war. Photographed banking through clear skies at an air show, this lovingly restored example keeps the Thunderbolt's legacy airborne for new generations. Project: 219309
