On 23 March the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Southern California Wing at Camarillo announced that CAF HQ at Midland, Texas had decided to entrust it with completing the restoration to airworthiness of Republic P-47N Thunderbolt 44-89136/ N47TB. The airframe is currently hangared at the CAF facility in Dallas, Texas, and is part-way through repairs following a fiery take-off accident at Albuquerque, New Mexico on 21 March 2002. It will soon move to Camarillo.
