Republic P-47 Thunderbolt Fighters 'Hun Hunter XVI' and Formation, Museum of Aviation Ramp Display

Restored Republic P-47 Thunderbolts, including 'Hun Hunter XVI,' stand on static display outside a Museum of Aviation hangar alongside P-51 Mustangs. These rugged fighter-bombers were among the most heavily armed single-engine fighters of World War II, later inspiring generations of American combat pilots, including many who went on to fly in Korea and Vietnam.
