Republic P-47 Thunderbolt 'Wicked Rabbit' in Flight — Lloyd TN Air Museum Air Show, June 7, 2014
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt 'Wicked Rabbit' banks low over the crowd during an airshow flying display. Nicknamed the 'Jug' for its massive fuselage, the P-47 was one of the most heavily armed and rugged American fighters of World War II, flying escort and ground-attack missions across Europe and the Pacific. Restored survivors like this one continue to honor that legacy at airshows today. Project: 219310
