The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt 'Hun Hunter XVI' rests in a grassy field during a June 2014 airshow at a Tennessee aviation museum. This rugged fighter-bomber, one of the most produced American aircraft of World War II, is preserved and flown today by warbird enthusiasts to honor the legacy of the pilots who flew Thunderbolts in combat over Europe and the Pacific.
