Wickedly Massive

Over the years, we’ve seen some of the rarest pieces of American history – historic warbirds, fly again.

This video features a flight demo of a WWII Republic P-47 “Razorback” Thunderbolt that was restored to its former glory. It’s a short flight demo at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California. 

It’s worth noting that this particular aircraft is a “G” model, and one of the 354 planes built under license by Curtiss in Buffalo, New York. It features a 2,000-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-2800, 18-cylinder engine, and there’s quite nothing like the sound of a big radial engine. 

This one’s a best of an airplane! For us, this has got to be one of the underestimated fighters during World War II.
