I have never seen the image of the Thunderbolt in Chilean markings. Anywhere on web?

Very nice links!! As I know P-47 is delivered to Chile during the WW2 but all images show this plane after the war [because pilot have helmets and this comes after the war]. Am I right?

:D

Umm, according to the second link, Chile received P-47s in 1946 (another site said 1947, but gave the same day and month). Brazil and Mexico did, however, use the Jug during the war.

it took so long because I am supposed to do some decent work every now and then..... :roll:

I'd love to have a mirror copy of my external HDD at work so I can access thousands of photos immediately.... but then I wouldn't find any time for my job anymore..... :lol:
