P-47 in Bogota

Sat May 12, 2012 8:01 pm

I go through Bogota often and usually dont have my camera handy, but on the side where the Colombian Air Force has a small base, there is a P-47N on display. Does any one have the story on this?

The P-47 is at the Colombian Air Force museum, which has about 25 aircraft on display, the rarest being a Junkers W-34.
Well worth a visit.

I imagine that the Howard 400 next to it isn't all that common either. Interesting place that! Shame it's not exactly close to me.
