Aircraft History
Although this is not a WWII Pacific airframe, it was in service
with the Peruvian Air Force P-47-D, first
owned by David Tallichet, then acquired by Westpac
Aviation.
Restoration
Restored to flying status, this thunderbolt has flown at many airshows, and
had several replacements made. Currently,
it is being re-restored. Westpac
hopes to make the fighter 100% original, equipment-wise, including a fully-functioning
turbo supercharger.
