    I wore those kind of bibs when I was five. No pix. You're welcome.

    Looks like a trainer version of the Meteor. Presumably one of the first jet trainers.

    This is all the caption said:
    Ordnanceman secures 16 inch projectiles in ammunition storage space below decks of battleship.

    I think they're the real deal.

    I agree they're real, but how are they loaded?

    "Bonnie" will be at Oshkosh for Air Adventure 2023.

    EAA AirVenture Oshkosh | Oshkosh, Wisconsin | Fly-In & Convention

    I won't make it there but keeping my fingers crossed to maybe see the P47 again later this year.
    One of the best things about this whole thing is General Dunham's daughter saw the plane during it's restoration and will watch her mother's namesake take to the sky !

    Hence the nickname Jug for the P47! Rumor has it a general visited a training field and a few were standing on their nose and he said, " Looks like a bunch of milk jugs".
