Warbird Toplist 2020 

My father flew a P-38 F5 reconnaissance over Germany in the European theater of WWII. He was part of the 7th Photo Reconnaissance Unit. He loved the 38 - said it was the best plane ever made! He used to tell me how it’s abilities saved his life many times. In one mission, he was under attack by 5 enemy planes and managed to out-fly them all (remember F5 Reconn had no guns, just cameras) and get away. However, he took a lot of fire and lost one of his engines. He had to make an emergency landing in Sweden where they had never seen a P-38 or it’s “modern technology” before. It made quite a splash in the papers. Today, the yoke of his P-38 is on display at a museum in Sweden. Sadly, my father passed away in 1976, but not before he took me to an air show in Chino, CA., in 1975, where a P-38 was part of the exhibits, and I guess because he was a former 38 pilot, they let my father climb into the cockpit and he took me with him (I was a young boy at the time). I’ll never forget the joy and delight on his face as I saw him seat into that chair. He was one with that P-38! You could just see the memories pouring across his face... My father and that P-38 were like two old deep friends/partners reunited again after so many years. It was incredible and that moment left a lasting impression upon me that I’ve carried my entire life. If you aren’t already a member, and you love the P-38, I invite you to consider joining the National P-38 Association (p38assn.org) as there’s so much to learn and know about the 38!

Love that 262 and the fw190 and bf109.

Those where the days!!! Simply stunning!! Thank you!! Fair winds!

That FW 190 Is so impressive looking..

Top 5 indeed! Fantastic! Well done, thank you.

How does this have less than a thousands likes.... Epic historic priceless.

Excellent quality and sound Alles. Some pretty fancy maneuvers. Have to say they saved the best for last. Beautiful German birds!!!! 🛩 Danke.

Phantastisch einfach große Klasse diese Flugzeuge!

Prima Video und auch sehr schön groß und deutlich eingefangen die warbirds.💪👍🏻

EADS FW 190, ME109 F/G and incredible 262 : Ze best from all this list ! thanks for sharing : )

Its amazing how much quieter the radial engines are as compared to the inline engines. Beautiful array of aircraft.

I was so thankful to watch these beauties that were shot with the proper camera. Too many RU-vid videos of propellor aircraft are shot with a camera that make the propeller look like its going around slowly. or standing still while is moving. I will not even watch those videos once I see that. Keep up the good work.🤟😀

WOW!! It doesn't get any better than this! Except may be to be there! Thanks for sharing! "Mike" Kelly

Really impressed of how the camera seems to lock onto the aircraft so smoothly

wonderful Hurricane

Great shots of stunning warbirds, it’s always a privilege to see and hear them fly... My absolute passion is the Spit, simply the perfect lady, Merlin or Griffon. An aircraft I really would like to see, is the Hawker Typhoon with the mighty Napier sabre engine.

Nice, Spitfire beautiful

My favorites, look and sound: no. 1 Mustang, no. 2 Spitfire, greetings from germany.

Soo beautiful🙌🏻

Fabuleux !!....

BEST of the Best = ALL !!! My personal favourite is: 🎖🎖🎖109🎖🎖🎖

I think the 5 prop Spitfires are just gorgeous.

The German ones are my favourite! Also, long video... GREAT!

fantastic,

The Spitfire Mk XVIII was gorgeous.

Nice

Just seeing all these machines in action,not getting dusty in a museum...

Good stuff!

So beautiful ❤ even long time ago

Wow great vid

Очень красиво. Эхо войны.

both of the Yaks are Yak-9’s. you can tell by the front section of the cockpit, the vertical stabilizer, front landing gear, and the wing ever so slightly. still amazing sights to see.

ich finde die bf109 hat den geilsten sound!👌👍

Y love Me262

Isn’t it great people can gather in Germany of all places and appreciate all these beauties in peace?

Proper Aircraft. Nuff said

Whats with the Baby blue colour on the P51D?

I lost it when I saw that 262, mein gott!

Watching these old warbirds reminds me of rule of thumb German ground soldiers during world war II used. If you see dark planes they're British, if you see light planes they're American, and if you see no planes it's the luftwaffe.

12:20 Wrong type description. This is of course the Focke Wulf Fw 190 A with air-cooled radial engine (originally the BMW 801 D, in this case the Ash-82 since the plane is a modern replica), not the Fw 190 D "long nose" version with water-cooled inline engine (Jumo 213).

Magnifique vidéo je préfère les chasseurs allemands ils sont incroyables

This FW190 not D series, its FW190A5 or A8 with radial BMW801D engine, but FW190D (Dora) have watercolled Junkers Jumo 213 engine

Great video dude. Pretty sure that's a 190A, the 190D had a V12 Jumo engine, I'm pretty sure.

Nice work Alles. Where is the Me 262 based ?

💚

The Griffon engine in that spitfire sounds like a beast

All amazing but... F-190 is not a D model, it looks like an A one; am i wrong?

I find this as asmr for some reason

I love all the old war birds and the footage is excellent but the order is based off preference not affect on the war or performance.

The most beautifull plane for me ,the BF109

Не согласен с рейтингом, почему нет Ла-5ФН? Почему первая тройка только немецкие самолёты?

That FW-190 definitely is not "D" version. FW-190D is nicknamed Dora or Long-Nose Dora - "Langnasen-Dora". Powerplant for "D" is V12 instead of radial. What you have here is one of A models I think, probably A-5 or A-8. EDIT: Just found answer from OP to similar post. It`s A-8. Please update video / description.

Setting aside the jets, I think the Mustang is the best all round fighter.

Love them, but no Corsairs???

So where's number 1? The Me 262 was #2.

I´m interested in WWI II planes military and utilitary airplanes as in moderr ones.

I don’t have much knowledge about planes, I am just interested (a lot) but isn’t ME-262 looks very similar to F-4 Phantom? Or, can we say ME-262, in terms of desing and the body structure of the plane, ‘grandfather’ of F-16? 🇩🇪🇩🇪

It is wonderful to see these old warbirds in the air. They roaring the same now like 80 years ago. I miss the STUKA, we may see it here in the future, Someone is building it?

sea Fury!!!

How About if they fly a Corsair and a LA-5

How do I switch off the full screen coments on this video?? Its extremely annoying

Don’t think that is a d model fw190, d models or “Dora’s” as they were called were long nosed, such as the d-9, d12, and d-13

Jakovlev is basically hawker.

I flew combat in a B17, a ME 262 would come up piggy back atop. A JU88, separate and make one passthrough our formation and would then be out of fuel. Never did they shoot down a plane. I did not think very much of them. They killed many a German pilot as they exploded on the ground before takeoff. Les

Where did such beauty occur ??

Where was this ? Location and when ?

Quanto custa em média uma caça ww2 ?

Wo wurde das video aufgenommen?

14:12 where is that place located?

How many ME 262 are left today?

The Hurricane and the Sea Fury... Sydney Camm never designed an ugly aircraft.

Any german planes somewhere in England?

Ww2 bomber must be included

Слава героям СССР

That was not a fw-190 D that was a Fw-190 A-8

LA5?

Last and best German birds.....of course

ME 262 is the best

A very German-centric selection at the top end. I think the Yak-3 should be a lot higher, the Thunderbolt and Me-109 a bit lower. The Spitfire should've been the wonderful Mark XVI rather than the brute Mk XVIII, which barely served as a warbird. As a Brit, I love the Hurricane, but it's ugly and slow and shouldn't be in a list like this, but never mind.

This video had two # 2 planes! The Bf 109 and the Me 262 were both called #2. And why was the Hurricane in this and the F4U Corsair wasn't? Most of these planes I agree with but without the Corsair this video is not a valid one to me!

Yak has no business in the top of any list. Definitely not a top list

I like the 190 and the 109 but.....ahead of the Mustang? That's laughable.
