Shame. I shall miss the old girl. Surprisingly graceful for such a beast.

Don't fret, she's coming your way. http://www.provenancefightersales.com/thunderbolt.htm

We're getting a Razorback - 'Little Demon'. http://www.warbirdregistry.org/p47registry/p47-4225068.html
Shame they won't be seen in formation.


 Sweet!! ;D   Thanks for the info.  Looks like you'll be making out O.K. with the trade!!
