The warbirds of WWII were nothing short of amazing. The P47 was one of my favorites along with the Mustang and the Lightning. When I was stationed at Williams AFB in the 80s we lived just a few blocks away from the Champlin Fighter Museum in Mesa. I guess it closed some time ago and the fantastic collection of aircraft were moved to a museum in the NW.

I got to see a FW190 and a P38 chase each other around one afternoon. I didn't stop smiling for a month. But, I think my ears are still ringing from a few of the low passes.
