I know of several converted two-seat P-51's, but can't recall ever seeing or hearing of such a thing in a P-47.  Is there such a thing?  It seems like you would've seen them at airshows, etc., if there were.  I also recall seeing a P-38 set up for a passenger, but never a P-47.  Just wondering . . .

Ummm, I wonder if Stan the man would have been able to help you lean the seat forward in the event you needed that chute you were sitting on :x!!!  Long crawl out from there.......Helluva ride my friend!! Awesome.   Thanks for sharing that with us.

I also have not seen or heard of a P-47 rigged for a passenger but damn taking the stick and throwing a Jug around the sky now that would be a ride. I'll have to ask the experts (commemorative Air Force) this year at EAA Airventure about any 2 place Jugs.

hey changeup, yes sir, i believe the chute was just a technicality. When they went through the emergency procedures before i got into the plane the last thing they said was "IF YOU CAN MANAGE TO GET OUT" then pull this ring- - refering to the ring on the chute. After I finally wiggled my way in and managed to get in the back seat I knew then that if something did happen we were going to have to be at least 200,000 ft altitude for me to have the time to get out... :O

AMAZING! You lucky dog!  :aok :salute

Do they not allow you to take a camera up with you to get video footage inside the cockpit, or did that idea just not cross your mind?

Did some Googleing yesterday and found out that Planes of Fame has a P-47 Razorback that was set up for two seats, and as of several years back, you were able to purchase rides in it.  Also, I guess there were actually a very few two-seaters made, and IIRC these were designated the P-47G.

You're thinking of the man who OWNS a P-51.
