Republic P-47 Thunderbolt 'Hun Hunter XVI' on Display Ramp, Lloyd TN Air Museum Air Show, June 2014
A beautifully restored Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, named 'Hun Hunter XVI,' rests on the ramp at an East Tennessee air show. The P-47 was one of the most heavily armed and rugged American fighters of World War II, prized for its ability to absorb battle damage and return home safely. This example represents the enduring legacy of WWII-era airpower preserved and flown by warbird museums today. Project: 219310
