I would think the newer missiles which are all-aspect would have a chance. If they can target heated guard towers (ala "Cardinal and the Kremlin") and smaller helicopters I think the heat output from a P-47 would be sufficient.
Also don't newer missiles look look for both heat and an absence or UV. This keeps them from targeting the sun IIRC.
