I own both of these beautiful planes, and it’s always hard deciding which one to fly since their both show stoppers. Great flying guys and awesome video as always, thanks for sharing 👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥💥
Also the Corsair and spitfire would have come across each other as us here in Australia we had 2 squadrons of spitfires that flew in the pacific campaign
Hey great flights. My issue is... you didn't worry about hitting in the air... you should have landed one right after the other, so what if you hit on land. 👍
That was the best tandem warbird flights I have ever seen. We have both of those birds. Love em. Great job guys. Learning from Patrick’s landing tips also. 👍
Little late, but had to answer the question: yes, the Spitfire and Corsair flew in the same theaters. Both in the Pacific (RAAF) and ETO where Fleet Air Arm operated the Corsair.
If a Corsair and Spitfire were to attack the same target,I think you would have to be looking at the british Attempts to attack the Tirpitz,and I believe it would be a Seafire version of the Spit.But the Royal navy did use the Corsair.
Great tandem, chase video. One of the best. Excellent flying James and Patrick. It'd be great to have Patrick as a instructor. The birdcage is just my favorite Corsair!! Beauty in motion. Very enjoyable to watch this video. AirHammer out!!
Guys...history is important! One in every six Corsairs built was flown by the Royal Navy, some 2,000 F4Us, FGs and F3As crossed the pond between 1943 and 1945, in fact the 430 F3A-1s (called Corsair IIIs by the Brits) made up 58% of Brewster-built Corsair production. Corsairs were used in greater numbers by the Royal Navy than any other US naval aircraft, having started the war with wholly outdated fighters, the Seafire and Sea Hurricane provided adequate interim cover but were clearly not the answer.
Throw in the Flightline P-38 and these 3 are as good as it gets. Without question the 3 best and easiest to fly warbirds I own. Taking off took a little figuring out with the Spitfire and Corsair. Once in the air this is what I thought the sport was gonna be like when I got started.
Seafires and Corsairs both flew in the British Pacific Fleet against the Japanese. Commander Mike Crosely's book "They Gave Me a Seafire." is my favourite WW2 autobiography. 100% recommend. Oh and he flies both and compares them... Great flying gents, get a bit of thick grease on those axles :)
Awesome video of the two iconic warbirds , it would be great to see a 1600mm focke wulf , or Messerschmitt 109 and not forgeting a P40 , and a zero in this mix. I think the 1600mm warbirds are absolutely perfect size whilst still getting a decent flight time. Big salute from the uk. 👊👊👍👍🇬🇧
