Republic P-47N-5-RE  Thunderbolt    44-88576      44-88589     44-88577 

                                 

                                    Three pristine Jugs up from Farmingdale on a photo-op sortie late in 1945.  These Thunderbolts
                                    were delivered too late to see service in WW II, although many of this block number did go on
                                    to serve in the Pacific theater.     1,800-odd P-47Ns were built, although a colossal 5,934 were
                                    canceled when WW II came to an abrupt end in August 1945.
