Restored WWII Republic P-47 Thunderbolt "Razorback" Fighter Flight Demo !

[@standupp2885]

She was big, fast, tough and deadly. My favorite fighter of WWII. Sure the Mustang, the Lightning and the Spitfire were sexier but the Jug has that special appeal that is intangible. It is the embodiment of toughness.

[@Эрик.75]

Yessir couldn’t of said it any better🤟💜, my personal favorite is probably a P-51 mustang or a JU-87 stuka.

Razorback Jugs are classic! You can’t argue with 2,000 horsepower and eight .50 calibers! 🇺🇸👍👏

[@cbwelch4]

Flak Jack Ed I’m to understand the razorbacks handled better than the bubble canopy jugs due to the portions of fuselage they cut away providing flight stability too.

[@spreadeagled5654]

C. Welch , true, but the pilots prefer the all-around visibility that the bubble canopy provides. 👍

You can’t negotiate with this machine. It usually chews up anything you could throw at it.

The P-47 is like the B-17 and the Huey it'll take a beating and still bring you home.

[@Imtahotep]

Needing to be well placed of course, a single rifle bullet could/did bring down a P51 but a P47 (once at least) with an entire cylinder shot away flew the pilot home safely. Both lethal: the difference between a rapier and a broad sword.

[@steveperreira5850]

Yes, what do you say is the most overlooked and most important factor of aerial combat. Almost all shoot down kills, at least 80% in World War II, the aircraft killed was jumped and surprised. In this scenario, the aircraft that has the best survivability, all other things being roughly equal, that aircraft has a huge advantage. The numbers prove it. In the European theater, the best P 51 pilots were shot down and killed. The best P 47 pilot survived. The radio engine and the P 47 combined to make the most effective fighter Aircraft in The European theater. The Thunderbolt also had the range but the Army Air Force was too stupid and incompetent to get the right wing tanks. The KZbin channel Greg’s airplanes Proves this beyond the shadow of a doubt

[@steveperreira5850]

@@Imtahotep: it happens frequently, massively damaged thunderbolt returning. As good as the P 51 was, it was inferior overall because the best pilots died because of its fragility. That is why the best American aces Were thunderbolt pilots and they survived the war. (European theater … the toughest arena)

[@thethirdman225]

@@Imtahotep That claim is mostly internet hooey. The statistics that actually exist on ground attack casualties don’t bear out the ‘one bullet in the cooling system and it’s all over’ trope. It’s a Greg thing. The three main causes of casualties in ground attack were Flak, enemy aircraft and flying into the ground.

[@thethirdman225]

@@Imtahotep The ‘got home with two cylinders shot away’ trope doesn’t have much going for it either. I have repeatedly asked but despite other photographs being available, nobody has ever been able to produce one of a surviving P-47 with missing cylinders. Yet everyone who says this claims either; 1) it was a regular thing and no big deal or 2) they know someone it happened to.

[@TralfazConstruction]

A ground crewman observing a P-47 pilot climbing down from the aircraft asked (in paraphrase) 'Where's the rest of the crew?' That gave me a chuckle reading this recently. The film, Fighter Squadron (1948) with Edmond O'Brien and Robert Stack really captures the beauty of the P-47 Thunderbolt in flight. Powerful aircraft. On that last pass the engine sounds like it's loping along and not even breaking a sweat.
