That would be the PDK Good Neighbor Day Airshow. It's a conventional air show. Although it has recently featured plenty of warbirds. You can see my videos from this year's show here on my channel. Atlanta Warbird Weekend was a warbird only event that usually had a special theme. In 2016 it was a garhering of as many P-40 Warhawks as they were able to assemble.
Amazing to see the F-22 again, and I still cant believe I got to go to this show. Even everything else at Geneseo this year was awesome. I also did the Whiskey-7 C-47 ride which was an amazing experience. Highly reccomend Geneseo to all air enthusiasts.
This particular Corsair was at last year's Gaurdians of Freedom Airshow in Lincoln, Nebraska, and I got to see her fly. This Corsair is now the fourth one that I've seen in person, on top of seeing the CAF Air Base Georga's "Dash-1", a "Dash-4", and Annie Mo, the ex Argentine Navy F4U-5NL owned by the Lonestar Museum of Flight.
The Fokker Dr. I triplane originally was powered by a rotary aircraft engine in which the crankshaft is attached to the aircraft & the engine rotates with the propeller, causing significant torque. The difference in the ailerons was intended to counteract this torque. Since this is an accurate replica it reproduces this feature even though it has a 1940s radial engine. The ailerons are rigged to work with this arrangement. I hope this answers your question.
HTraffic leaving the show is a little slow until you hit the roads. A lot of people using 2 exits. About 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to the street then no problems from there. Of course, that depends on everyone behaving themselves and following directions. Thanks for watching!
I'd recommend arriving as early as you can. The parking opens before the gate opening time. I try to get there 15 or 20 minutes before gate opening time. Traffic's a breeze then & you'll have your pick of viewing spots. They have trams from the parking area to near the gate. Also arriving early gives you time to walk the two huge static display areas. Their website has all the info you should need. This is a great show. I hope you enjoy it.
They usually have 2 extra jets7 and 8 in case maintenance issues. I’ve actually seen them take off then # 5 landed after something went wrong hoped in #7 jet took off and barely missed a beat.
The propeller blades rotate far enough to produce foward thrust to help stop & reverse taxi. It's been a feature of large aircraft since the 1940's. Thanks for watching!
@@warhawkcreativevideo I get that. Its tough videoing a airshow. Doing still photography sometimes when i think I'm level and then the final photo isn't. Thanks for doing this. I wish we could have every airshow videoed.
Was and still is my favorite aircraft. The P-40E. Always wonder why this plane wasn't used more in the Pacific as well Europe. Under the AVG it seemed the best against anything the Japanese had. I'm AVG all the way.
The P-40 was the prevalent allied fighter in the first half of the Pacific war until superceded by more modern & capable types. In Europe the P-40 didn't have the altitude performance to be competitive. Where altitude performance wasn't an issue ( the Mediterranean, China, & Russia) the P-40 more than held its own until the end of the war.
I love the p40 warhawk. I was friends with a pilot from the 57 fighter group. And was in operation torch. He loved the warhawk. And flew in the black scorpion squadron during the Palm Sunday massacre. Where they kicked nazi but.
I saw that, the Warbirds Over Monroe airshow was great this year, there was just so little 'big' aircraft is sad, and there weren't many reenactors either, but still a great show.
Thanks for the video. We were there on Saturday but due to the cold and rain, we left around 3:30 and missed my h of the airshow! Such a shame. This is great, we get to see what we missed. Hope they do it again next year! Great work!
1st. Strange enough, they kinda look, and sound like 'Zeke's' (Zero's), coming out of the Pearl Harbor sky's, on a Sunday morning, a long time ago. Strange coincidence that, they're design's and sounds, were very similar, also🤔. Beautiful display of confidence, and machinery😁!!
If you're referring to the planes in the movies Tora! Tora! Tora! or Pearl Harbor, that's because those planes were modified from T-6 Texans to look like Zeros, Kates, & Vals. So they have the same engines & props, which is why they look & sound familiar. Thanks for watching!
@@rogerrendzak8055 There is no connection between the T-6 design and the zero at all. That's just a myth. The Zero was an innovative original design. However, like most Japanese fighters it gave up survivability for manueverabiity & extreme range. The Texan actually has a steel tube frame for the cockpit area covered in removable panels. The Zero has a much more streamlined very lightweight(and delicate) all aluminum airframe with a completely different wing. Look up photos of actual zeros & texans to see the differences.
I was there, and I was going to ask if I could use some of this footage in my video to show what they were doing compared to my photos. Are you ok with that?
