P-47D-30 Chilean Air Force
Hey Folks…Here is my Chilean Thunderbolt…
In July, 1946 Chilean AF do received the first of two orders of jugs. These aircraft were designated to several fighter squadrons (1, 2, 5, and 11) until 1958.
The Thunderbolt 759 was operated in 1° FS (Grupo N° 1), and this airplane was one of few with black numbers and white outlined.
