What Evansville P-47 Foundation Inc does
Mission
The purpose of the organization is the acquisition, maintenance, ownership, and display of wartime planes and equipment, including but not limited to world war ii aircraft such as a p-47 for educational and museum purposes.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The evansville p-47 foundation purchased a p-47 thunderbolt fighter airplane from world war ii named tarheel hal, one of the most famous remaining p-47s. Shortly after being flown back to indiana, the plane was renamed "hoosier spirit ii". Following the passing of house bill 1197 on april 26, 2021, the hoosier spirit ii became indiana's state aircraft. It is displayed inside the evansville wartime museum located at 7503 petersburg road, just a mile from where it was manufactured by republic aviation in 1944.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $3.5M to $3.3M (−7%).
How it's funded, over time
