There is NO SUCH THING as a "Grumman FM2 Wildcat'! The Grumman Wildcat was designated the "F4F". General Motors also made the Wildcat, and THEY are designated "FM2". Calling it a Grumman FM2 Wildcat makes as much sense as saying "Pontiac Camaro" or "Chevrolet Firebird". Stupid goofs like this expose you as noobs who only THINK they know things, but are too lazy to check their data.

where is this

Whoa, those are some big flames lol

It's nice to see them flying, they both sound awesome

It looks and sounds wonderful. Like the story the announcer tells

Damn that's a short take off

Whoa

What a beast lol

So cute

Great video! Bravo!

I'm puzzled why this rotary engine sounds different than the other rotaries I have seen on UA-cam. Anyone know the answer?

It was a second rate french fighter, that was prone to catching on fire .

Wow, this brought back memories of my visit to Rhinebeck back in the 90s when I lived in upstate NY. I remember Cole Palin checking things out. Gotta get up there again!

I just ordered a Dumas balsa 35" wingspan Nieuport 28 ,electric,R.C. flier last week. How timely zi get to see the real thing.

It sounds like a exhaust valve is burned

That was quite impressive! Especially the way it ran.

He wasn't wearing a scarf!! He broke tradition, LOL.

I was 3-years old when my Dad took me up in one of those. He let me crawl out on the wing and sit between the struts. I'll never forget it!!

Superb plane and video, but I'm amazed that they fly surrounded by all those trees. It only needs a minor engine problem on the landing approach and the plane is certain to end up in the trees, with considerable damage, instead of, ideally, just putting it down on clear flat ground (a field).

Amazing climb, is that the same horsepower as original?

I'm not at all surprised that "America's oldest fighter airplane" is designed and built by the French.

Magnificent! Still flying, and must be pushing 110 years old at this stage. Lovely job by the restorer/pilot. Not forgetting the ground crew - I love that 'human-assisted u-turn at 7:30! I guess that's how they did it back in WW1 as well. I remember 'flying' the good old Nieup 28 in Red Baron 3D, it was my favourite plane in that game. Anyone else remember that game? It wonderfully evoked those days when aviation was simple: "Stick go forward, houses get big. Stick go back, houses get small." 🤣 Anyway, it's really something to finally see one of them for real, thank you so much for letting us see this slice of history. This video is probably the closest I'll ever get to one of these amazing planes.

I love the 28, but my favorite was the SPAD VII with the Hispano-Suiza V8 engine.

Le Rhone engine can you imagine the right pedal required to keep this thing flying straight?? Plus valves spewing castor oil in your face the entire flight ....incredible ball-bearings these pilots had.

I once had a look inside of ww1 fighter. Just wooden seat is the only protection. Surrounded with just fabric. It took balls to fight in one of those.

WW1 airplanes were pretty capable back in the day. This runway looked hell hairy for landings.

"Mademoiselle from Armentières, Parlez-vous...."

I'd trust that airframe more than I would the engine.

Does the Nieuport 28 have a throttle or just a cut out switch. The plane has no throttle and once started, the Gnome rotary engine runs on full all the time. The pilot controlled the plane's speed by turning off and on individual or groups of cylinders.

It's unfortunate that the shutter on the camera is so fast. It creates a strobe effect which makes the propeller look slow

Iran have just ordered 50 of these

All those people looked at a screen instead of a very rare event.

Pilots called it the "Old Pot" or "Pi**pot" because it was obsolete even before being put into service. We had no planes when Woodrow "He Kept Us From War" Wilson pushed us into the war. Pilots figured that the "28" meant their odds were one in twenty-eight of living long enough to get a more advanced plane, because the Germans were flying more advanced aircraft by the time American pilots "threw their hat in the ring" (an old term for accepting a challenge to fight, which inspired the squadron insignia on the side of this plane). There's a button on the control stick that cuts the ignition when pressed. If you look at old film of Nieuport formations, you see them moving up and down in relation to each other like merry-go-round horses as the pilots work the cut-off switch. Once in a while, releasing the button didn't bring the engine back to life.

Wow what a beauty.

great pilot, great plane!

The P-factor must be wicked with that engine.

Legal mas, o idiota do filmador perdeu o loop final.

??? The Neiuport was a French fighter.

A thing of beauty.

amazing,,, imagine trying to fly that with the engine spinning,,, must be a nightmare

The reason there were no American combat aircraft in WW1 was the Wright Bros thought they were due a 20% royalty for every aircraft ever built that had a method for controlling roll, which was the real innovation of The Flyer. They had Glenn Curtiss wrapped up in a lengthy lawsuit, so ridiculous that Henry Ford gave Curtiss his legal team for free. Finally a judge threw it out so America could get into the air war. And Henry Ford make a bundle making engines....

A beautiful piece of flying, and a lovely aircraft.

Ужасно шумная этажерка.

Great to watch but it would be much better after some badly needed editing and cut out the first 5 minutes it very boring !

The engine sounds like the machine guns from Top Gun: Maverick 🤣

The Nieuport 28 was actually a French fighter plane and not used by America. The oldest American Fighter plane and only American built fighter plane from WWII is the Curtiss JN-4.

The Nieuport 28 C.1, a French biplane fighter aircraft flown during World War I, was built by Nieuport and designed by Gustave Delage.
