P-47 question

[Beachy]

Does anyone have an in-flight photo of the belly of a P-47 that they could post? Jack, maybe? Just out of curiosity, I need to see something with gear up.

Thanks.......

Sorry it took so long. I had to sort through all the girl pics.

Again, my thanks!

You'll notice the difference between the "N" model picture I sent, and the "D" model Elroy 13 sent. The doors hinge out away from the fuselage, where the "D" model's doors hinge against the fuselage. That is a space where extra fuel cells are placed on the "N".

Yup, caught that pretty quickly. Thanks!
