| Thunderbolts!
I posted these back in June when I first joined, in one of the threads.
Some of you might remember them, but for those that haven't, enjoy.
These were from the Chino 2005 show. It was a memorable show as 5 Thunderbolts were up flying. A magnificent sight.
If theres one thing that you notice when you see these up close or moving along on the taxi way, is its as big as they say it was. Like a truck compared to the little ole P51, P40 or Spit.

| Thunderbolts Pt2
Here they are, taking off. For some stupid reason, I only took pix of 4 of the 5 Thunderbolt takeoffs. Dont ask me why, other than I might have been distracted by this good looking babe wandering by me.

I looked at all the pics, and yes indeed, that P47 has two codes.....WZ-A and WZ-B.
Now this is a mystery to me.

Country: | They may be honoring 2 pilots? That is unusual, and one hell of a catch, Erich.
