July 27, 20206 yr comment_61629 It's no secret for my love towards my rotary and radial powerplants. From Dreidecker, Camel, FW190, and now my all time favorite p47 razorback! So I was looking at the calendar for the squadron to make sure i didn't interfere with anything... and was wondering if anyone would be interested in flying some BIG AMERICAN MUSCLE on Sundays after 9pm Est? P.S. i painted my p47's after the 56th FS (later split into the 61st,62nd, and 63rd) which trained in my hometown airfield and patrolled New York/ New England airspace until shipped on the boat over the pond.

July 27, 20206 yr comment_61630 Great looking skins, Goat! My grandfather served with the 389th Fighter Squadron (which flew Jugs). So it's always been an aircraft close to my heart. Report
July 27, 20206 yr comment_61633 Nice work! My favourite Jug is the P-47M, the final variant to serve with the last Thunderbolt fighter group in the ETO (56th FG). The one below was flown by Bolesław "Mike" Gładych, a Polish fighter ace who served with both the RAF and the USAAF. Report

July 29, 20206 yr Author comment_61678 Was a little bored today. So I decided to do a little research into Klai’s grandfather’s squadron. This one is “Jenny Rebel”. My grandfather was in the pacific theatre. So until we get some pby5a’s or a SBD Dauntless, I’ll have to hold off on my grandfather’s paint schemes. Report
July 29, 20206 yr comment_61682 Here's another one from the 389th Fighter Squadron: Republic P-47D-20-RE Thunderbolt 42-76378 of the 389th Fighter Squadron, 366th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force. According to the book I have on the 366th Fighter Group (Angels Zero: P-47 Close Air Support in Europe, by Robert V. Brulle) - Quote Lt. Karl Hallberg, 389th squadron, survived the explosion of a 500-pound bomb that dropped off his aircraft on landing at Y-29, 31 December 1944. He sustained head wounds and a concussion that hospitalized him for a while. He was bestowed the title "Luckiest Pilot in the 366th." Report
July 29, 20206 yr comment_61686 Well that plane has seen better days. Before I read the quote, I was going to say it looked like he taxied over a bomb or something Report

August 2, 20206 yr Author comment_61749 Hey guys I’m still gonna try to hop into the jug tonight around 9pm est. (weather permitting. We’re suppose to be getting some bad wind tonight.) Report
August 31, 20206 yr Author comment_62521 The General and I have been using the 56th fg as our base paint schemes (AKA: Zemke's Wolfpack 61st,62nd,63rd) for our Sunday American Muscle. Pretty fun if anyone wants to join... Or if you're Vonrd and would like to see a nice paint scheme before he blows it out of the sky!!! Report

August 31, 20206 yr Author comment_62528 Sounds great! You wanna pick a squadron to base it off of? Then we could have another group of planes matching. I know I kind of grandfathered myself with picking the squadron for the P47s Report
