The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, nicknamed the 'Jug' for its portly fuselage, was one of the heaviest single-engine fighters of World War II and a mainstay of the U.S. Army Air Forces in both the European and Pacific Theaters. Prized for its rugged construction, powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine, and heavy firepower, the P-47 excelled in both air superiority and ground-attack roles. This example, painted with the nose art 'Wicked Wabbit' and carrying tail number 490438, is a flying restoration seen performing at the June 7, 2014 airshow held at the Lloyd Tennessee Air Museum.
