After eight years of restoration, the only Republic-built “Razorback” variant of the P-47 Thunderbolt had its first test flight in May 2023. Owned by the Dakota Territory Air Museum in Minot, North Dakota, the plane was restored by AirCorps Aviation in Bemidji, Minnesota.
The plane is expected to be on display at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023.
