Summary[edit]
| Description | A Republic P-47D-40-RA Thunderbolt "Wicked Wabbit" (owned by John Shoffner and based at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation). The P-47 44-90438 (c/n 399-55583) at the end of WWII was sold by the US Gov't to the Yugoslav Air Force as 13021. After its service it was donated to the Yugoslav Aeronautical Museum in Belgrade. In 1985 it was sold to Doug Arnold (United Kingdom), and in 1986 then sold to John Whittington of Knoxville (Tennessee, USA). In 1994 it was sold to John Shoffner also of Knoxville, TN who had the aircraft restored to flying condition. It returned to the air for the first time since WWII after restoration in 1998 in civilian registry N647D. Wicked Wabbit today (2012) owned by Mr. Shoffner is one of approximately 10 flying P-47's remaining in the world and is housed at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation in Sevierville, TN. It can be viewed at the Museum and at air shows throughout the eastern US along with it's squadron mate P-47D "Hun Hunter" (owned by Neal Melton) also based at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. Wicked Wabbit and Hun Hunter fly the markings of the 9th Air Force, 57th Fighter Group, 65th Fighter Squadron as they were when based in Corsica in 1944. |
