Two generations. One legendary name.⚡️At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025, two Thunderbolts took center stage: a 1944 P-47 Thunderbolt and a 1978 A-10 Thunderbolt II. While separated by decades of aviation history, both were built around the same mission – deliver incredible firepower and support those on the ground.

Take a closer look at these two remarkable aircraft, photographed in formation exclusively for EAA.
