Just a note that the is the CAF P-47N, which the Cavanaugh Museum sponsors. Doug Jeane is also one of the sponsors and is the maintenance director for the musuem. Doug has flown the TBM for several years and is a really nice guy to boot.
The Jug was to come to Midland ('01), but the engine (had 12 hrs on the clock) had some problems out at Albuqurque (sorry mispelled) and the front end locked up... luckily Doug had just got on the ground.......so......Doug was really disappointed, but he had a set of very nice pics taken by Bill Crump of him flying the P-47.....yea, we were wanting to see this one and Lone Stars Tar Heel up together.....so maybe this year.... Thanks Alan
