The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was a World War II-era fighter aircraft produced by the United States from 1941 through 1945. Its primary armament was eight .50-caliber machine guns, and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack role it could carry five-inch rockets or a bomb load of 2,500 pounds (1,103 kg). When fully loaded, the P-47 weighed up to eight tons, making it one of the heaviest fighters of the war. The P-47 was designed around the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine, which was also used by two U.S. Navy/U.S. Marine Corps fighters, the Grumman F6F Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair. The Thunderbolt was effective as a short-to medium-range escort fighter in high-altitude air-to-air combat and ground attack in both the European and Pacific theaters.

HOW TO USE:
1. Use the VTOL to extend or retract the landing gear (pull the vtoll down if you want to retract the landing gear if you pull it upwards it will messed up the aerodynamics)
2. Be careful when landing. Dont pull the breaks immediatly pull it slowly

For now its just an aircraft with machine guns. I might add bombs or rockets in the future
