This baby right here is a wreck of P-47D S/N 42-27609, written off, stripped of useful parts and abandoned after crash landing near Dobodura airfield complex in Papua New Guinea in September '44. Recovered with the other Thunmderbolt many years later and brought to US, after swapping hands many times, it finally went through a major reconstruction effort by AirCorps Aviation company and took to the skies again this summer.
