So beautiful. We are almost not deserving enough to witness this warbird in all it's grandeur. Watching this beauty take flight makes me wish that jet propulsion was never discovered and Corsairs still ruled the air like they did back in the 1940s. I will always envy those that flew this beautiful fighter in times of belligerence as well as, 80 years later, are able to fly it now as in this video. Thank you for this upload.
If you were looking for a show rich in manufactured drama that showcases one middle age man reaching his pinnacle of unprofessionalism & small d energy, you are home.
Just had an awesome opportunity to see this awesome bird yesterday at savannah international airport! I was on my first student pilot cross country solo. (Old meets new) This awesome bird was holding short when I took off then on my way back I was #2 inline to come back in behind him. Such a pretty machine!
Mi piace molto, ho notato peró una cosa all accensione drl motore 1 a destra: dall' audio mi sembra che la carburazione non sia proprio perfetta perche il motore sale e scende di giri. Forse a causa dell avviamento a freddo?
My dad's job at the end of the war. he wanted to be a pilot but he washed out. So they assigned him the job of recovering the bodies that they could put back together put them in a bag. tag them and make a notification for the family. Try getting a kid nowadays to do that
Start the engines together as much as possible, they are air cooled so quick to operating temp then get the plane out on the runway, none of this pissing around - fuel/weight/money.
😊🙏 The legendary WWII Pacific theatre Vought F4U Corsair " Whistling Death " ... Thank You So Much for making this beautifully edited & concised video for the fans & for sharing it! 🌷🌿🌍✌💜🕊
As a child in my motherland, mes amis, I read the memoirs of a chap who was a combat pilote of one of these in WWII. He claimed that the Flight Manual stated that the glide-characteristics were SO poor, that if the engine stopped, you should bail-out (if high enough) ... OR 'Whistle A Happy Tune and Kiss Your Ass Goodbye '! ... because a 'dead-stick’ landing was very iffy. 💋
Imagine the sacrifices that valiant men gave flying these machines in the skies above Nazi Germany. Think of the glorious dead who died preserving and protecting our country and constitution. Think again before supporting TRUMP !
Love the sound of the R-2800 Double Wasp at idle. And the F4U is one of my favorite warbirds. I also love flying my RC model versions of them too, don't let them get too slow in the turns to approach for landing or they'll bite you, other than that they always astonish me.
Maravilhoso . . . ! Guarapiranga SP BR 1973/1974 Voei com alguns filhos alemães que tinha alguns desses para alugar, tiramos água de dentro com uma lata de leite e voamos por aí. . . Experiência de aventura imperdível!
The Seabee was a failed attempt by Republic Aviation to stay viable after the production of the P47 fighter ended. It never met the required production numbers.
After the boomer generation is gone these planes will just be display pieces that no one is going to care about. They are not teaching WW2 history or concentration camp and endorse terrorisiom as you read this
Хочется сказать спасибо пилотам летавших на этих самолётах в сороковых годах, которые , внесли свой вклад в победе над фашизмом. Вечная им благодарность. Погибшим, вечная слава и память.
I got to ride on this very B-17 about 20 years ago at Gilespie Field in El Cajon. The crew chief told me that 3 of the engines were made by Studebaker.
