    I've pondered this question for a long time: Given the large amount of available F-47s during the Korean war, why weren't they used instead of F-51s? The Jug definitely outclassed the 'Original Lawn Dart' in the Air-to-ground mode in all aspects (except maybe speed with a clean
    a/c). Your thoughts...

    My Dad flew F-47s in Guam 1946-1948. I think they were called "Thunderbolts". When he flew in Korea 1951-1952 he flew F-51s, the "Mustang" in the 12th Fighter Bomber Squadron, "Foxy Few". I would assume the F-47s were retired?

    Do you realize you are responding to a conversation that ended over 17 years ago? At least one of the original participants has been dead for many years.

    This seems to happen frequently on this group.
