WW2 Corsair Fighter Like You Rarely See It 

And it speaking LOUDLY!

Instead they keep distracting you by putting the banal commentary as onscreen text....which is nearly as annoying.

Just the sound of whistling death!

What? Another engine sound video without music or narration? This is a trend that absolutely makes me HAPPY!

@@themikeshow I was going to ask you, "makes you what" Then scrolled down. ME TOO!

And that's how you show a video of that fighter display. No annoying music just the sweet song of the engine(s).

Delmus Ingle A proud Grandpa 😀

@@moparchallenger749 ,,,, I prefer the term 'pleased'. See, my daughter died when he was five. His father gave him up to, actually, asked me to take him. He had already remarried and had wife problems. I told grandson first day, this is home now, no spanking, no restrictions, no yelling or name calling, but when problems arise we will talk. His eyes got the size of large marbles. I had been divorced for many years, Dated some. I was not going to bring a woman into my house because I know the likely results. I considered myself his teacher, not an authoritarian. We had lots of talks. One thing I learned long ago. Never tell a child you are 'proud' of them. It takes away their ability to be proud of themselves for their accomplishments. It also gives them a weapon to use against you to hurt you. These were my own thoughts from the Bible where God said about his son, "this is my son in which I am well pleased'. I thought a lot about such passages. Well, it worked. I never faced rebellion and all things were his decision after our talks to make him self responsible for his actions. There were failures, we talked, he handled the correction. I never punished him for anything, did not have to. He did grow up wanting to please me. He understood why I never said I was proud of him. He is now 6 years in US Air Force, his decision. He is married, bought an expensive house in Las Vegas. Has been to Middle East 4 times. He has college degrees, has been recommend several times to go to OTC. At 20, he called me one day while walking around on base , a thought process. " I been thinking about much of what you taught me about life, and suddenly it all made sense, I just had to call and tell you I was 'pleased' with how you raised me.

Sure is a happy Corsair, getting to blow out the cobwebs with plenty of power moves.

They dont really die just fade away but still lives in the heart of many of the older generation.

Lynda Careway I’m just super glad the US saves this things to put into museums once they can’t fly anymore...that doesn’t happen in a lot of countries unfortunately

We take care of our old toys

Todd Bruce Very Cool 😎👍

Diane Pracy Lmaol 🤣😂🤣👍

In past life zero shot me down 2/14/43 in Pacific Ocean but my crew of 5 pilots were saved to fight another day. II Lt. Stewart

Zero; look a Corsair!!! Corsair; hold my beer, this won't take long.

@@dukecraig2402 I know a man with your name, only reversed.

@@Bullzeye1000yds Me in Bizzaro World.

It never was. That was propaganda. The Japanese called the Corsair the Sikorsky - after Igor Sikorsky, who was apparently instrumental in its design. The Corsair was an amazing fighter, the last piston engined fighter to score an air-to-air kill (in the Soccer War in 1969), and a Marine Corps icon - one Marine aviator even shot down a MiG-15 in a Corsair in Korea! But the "Whistling Death" nickname is nonsense. Semper Fi!

@@MrEvanfriend Someone read the Wikipedia page

So we are not to believe our ears eh Evan? The bird had several nicknames and yes whistling death and you do have a sound card right? Well turn it up and listen. That bird saved many a grunt in WWII and Korea. He's gone now but I had a good older friend who was at Chosin. When the weather cleared the close support came in and they were so close to the ground he would hear fellow marines yelp when a hot .50 case dropped into their coat. But Fred said he would never forget the sounds of screaming men on fire and the smell of the napalm runs. First Marine Division 1, China zero. Fred also said you could hearem coming Whistling down before you ever sawem. Good call George.

@@chrishill1286 The fact that the Corsair made a whistling sound or that it was a highly effective aircraft that saved many a Marine by providing close air support is by no means in question. The only thing in question is the highly dubious claim that the Japanese nicknamed it "whistling death". No soldier has ever given enemy equipment that kind of cool sounding nickname. Soldiers either call enemy equipment by derogatory names or technical ones - for example, US bomber crews in Europe called the Me-262 jet fighters "blow jobs", and US Navy sailors in the Pacific called the Ohka suicide rocket plane "baka bombs" (baka being an insult in Japanese). The Corsair was an excellent aircraft and a Marine Corps icon - and rightfully so. But the Japanese called it the Sikorsky, not "whistling death".

@@chrishill1286 By the way, I fought in Iraq with the First Marine Division, and would never say anything to disparage The Old Breed - the finest combat division in the world, then and now.

You forgot "POWERFUL!!!"

@@Bullzeye1000yds Big radials are always powerful, that's a given. But your right, it is a massively powerful aircraft in the same vain as the Hawker Sea Fury.

Beautiful? its ugly. Demodish nose, ugly canopy, ugly wing design... Griffon Spitfire and Bf-109s are much more beautiful.

@@nippon2003 "Beauty" is in the eye of the beholder, my friend.

@@nippon2003 Those are beautiful too, the P-40 was also one of my favorites. I find the F4u & FG-1D beautiful as well and beautiful from an eliant design stand. They look like nothing else but the proportions just look good to a lot of us. I also think my Cessna 182 is pretty in its own way as well.But when I get out my RC Corsair that is the one everyone wants to see fly hard.

Check out our channel and search for 'Corsair' -- we have video of Keith and Stu doing their Corsair-P40 double act. It IS awesome!

Sherry Setliff --- Not quite true, do a little research, but a fantastic plane just the same.

Freshstart p-38 was the first I believe, correct me if I’m wrong though.

Bryce Stevens not sure. Always heard it was the corsair in level flight. Many had done this in a dive. Also, the f4 had the largest prop on ant plane until the osprey. Know the hellcat had the most kills but I love this plane.

The first plane to break 400 mph in level flight was a Supermarine S.6B racing seaplane on September 13, 1931... It took some doing by multiple aircraft of the type to finally reach 407.5 mph. And the rated top speed for the plane was actually 390 mph. But officially speaking, that was the one.

@@redbluesome2829 "The first plane to break 400 mph in level flight was a Supermarine S.6B racing seaplane on September 13, 1931" Not bad for a seaplane with two huge floats underneath and a two-blade, fixed pitch wooden propellor. The Rolls Royce "R" motor used in that aircraft was later developed into the Griffon.

Forgot about corsairs being nicknamed the Whistler. Can see why. Such a great performer and ahead of it's time. I feel part of this era. Lynda C.

That would belong to the Spitfire & Hurricane.

Paul Right....

They did that back in 1945 but the war ended so the 3000 horsepower Super Corsair never went into production. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_F2G_Corsair

I'm not for sure about which engine but I think it's been done. They called it the super corsair

Wright's biggest was the 2 row 3350 in Connie's and Skyraiders. Pratt and Whitney made the 4 row 4360.

@pete2778 The deck was 8000 ft density altitude.

HotRod Ray R-3350s were also in B-29s.

glen gerdes Use to watch the reruns when I was little back in the late 70s. Loved that show.

The 1st season of that show lasted longer than Major Boyington's 4 month tour before he was shot down in 1943 & sat out the rest of the war as a POW.

glen gerdes --- My uncle was a fighter pilot in the Pacific, who flew several different planes in the pacific, he had 17 1/2 kills. He said to me that they were station on this Island in the Pacific, I don't recall what the name was, but they had a emergency sortie alarm. Well as they took off two of these pilots that took off had very low hours in the Corsair, & under attack they pushed the throttle all the way forward, which caused the planes to torque over into the jungle killing both pilots.

if you live in the US, try looking around Tx, they have the Commemorative Air Force, which flies a lot of the old WW2 planes around the country
