Republic P-47 Thunderbolt 'Wicked Wabbit' (Tail No. 490438) in Flight, Tennessee Air Show, June 2014
A restored Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, named 'Wicked Wabbit,' performs a low pass during a 2014 airshow. The P-47 was one of the most heavily produced American fighters of World War II, prized for its rugged construction, powerful radial engine, and effectiveness as both an air-superiority fighter and ground-attack aircraft. Aircraft like this one are lovingly maintained by warbird collectors and museums to preserve the legacy of WWII aviation for future generations. Project: 219310
