It's a link to a newsletter from the American Heritage Museum / Collings Foundation. It is a safe link to click on.

So what's the story with the P-47? How did it go from NMUSAF to AHM?

Swap a Stearman for a P-47?
Seems pretty one sided...

It's the last airworthy Stearman used to train Tuskegee pilots so it has a significant history. The only other survivor is the Smithsonian's example.

FYI, the Smithsonian's Tuskegee Stearman has been on loan to the New England Air Museum for quite a number of years now. So it seems new England has two Tuskegee PT's!

While I prefer the look of the earlier variants the idea of a D-model Stuka flying is rather exciting. It's great to see updates on the project, likewise the Heinkel and P-47.
