She will fly again! Built in 1942, this P-47D Razorback Thunderbolt Serial #42-8089 flew with the 348th Fighter Group in New Guinea starting in 1943. Following an accident she was stripped for parts and buried in a pit with other aircraft, only to be recovered some 60 years later and eventually making her way to the museum. The many openings in the fuselage make for a unique opportunity to peer inside (careful, don't touch!) and see some of her internal construction, including the turbosupercharger; she even still has her original insignia painted on the side! It may be hard to imagine, but 42-8089 is slated for a full restoration to flying condition.
See 42-8089, and the rest of our amazing collection, during your visit to the Museum at the Colorado Springs Airport!
