Assembling a P47 looks easy. Later the man who invented this, started a furniture company in Sweden. Great posting!

I've had furniture that was harder to put together.

Amazing video. Imagine that plane existing today - never flown, never rebuilt, and especially not crashed during an airshow. I wonder what happened of that particular bird...

Great video. Thanks for posting this. Of all the planes of WWII the P-47 is the one I would want to fly. The P-51 is sexy, the P-47 is a brute! I would take the A-10 over an F-16

@SlowSVTSlowSVT The A-10 was built in the same factory in Farmingdale,NY as the P-47.
