Description |
Some sixty five years
ago, the current home of the American Airpower Museum at Republic
Airport was a crucial part of the "Arsenal of Democracy". Home to
Republic Aviation, the complex produced over 9,000 P-47 Thunderbolts
in Farmingdale. Today, no American aviation museum with a squadron
of operational World War II aircrafts has a more appropriate setting
for its flight operations. Taxing to the very runways and hangars
that dispatched Thunderbolts to war, vintage aircrafts recreate
those turbulent years and allow the public to watch these planes in
their natural environment - the air. |
