P-47 Thunderbolt 'Wicked Wabbit' in Flight, Tennessee Airshow, June 2014

A restored Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, named 'Wicked Wabbit,' banks over the Tennessee hills during a 2014 airshow performance. The P-47 was one of the heaviest single-engine fighters of World War II, prized for its rugged radial engine and ability to absorb battle damage while serving as both an escort fighter and ground-attack aircraft in the European and Pacific theaters.
