Liftoff

Takeoff of Tarheel Hal at the 2017 Wings Over Houston air show

 

The Lone Star Flight Museum owns this plane, a World War II vintage P-47. The P-47 was big, fast, and rugged and was the U.S. Army Air Force's mainline fighter until the P-51 came along late in the war. A highly modified P-47 was the first airplane in the world to fly faster than 500 mph (800 kph).
