Thunderbolt elevated - new pictures
13.06.2005 - 21:10 Uh r
In the later in the afternoon hours, the Thunderbolt an American combat aircraft could be saved. The combat flier returned nearly intact again to the water surface and on particularly a wood rack intended for it was deposited. Up to the damage of the crash, he remained well preserved to some extent in the 60 years at the trusting sea-reason. As was to be experienced from press reports, it was to be reconditioned in Austria and then into the USA to be transferred. The salvage work remained secret nearly up to the conclusion. A German television team filmed the salvage and has here also the film rights.
Impressing and frightening at the same time the armament of this fighter. In addition, a memorial for our youth those was fired here a certification of a time deeply felt in with these weapons on humans.

I'd love to see what the "nose art" reads.

Absolutely beautiful!
My favorite airplane of all time.
Only 23 or so are left, so this is a valuable find.

A gorgeous plane. I have seen one a bunch of times at Oshkosh, I think it is "Big Ass Bird" or something like that...
I have never really got the hang of the razorbacks, but I love the bubble canopy.

I finally saw my first about 6 years ago, and a year later saw one fly for the first time.
He flew right over me, and the ground shook. It was awesome.

Not too shabby looking. A little armor-all ought to clean her right up.
