My Father was a USMC Aviator in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. He flew Hellcats and then Corsairs. I have a few old black and white photos of him in the cockpit of his Corsair.
So cool. My grandpa fought in the Pacific too. His unit was sent into Hiroshima 5 days after it was bombed. I have pictures of him with survivors that they were giving help to and the city looks like it was bulldozed flat. Just piles of rubble. War is hell, but it was a better option than invading Japan.
I've never drank a Red Bull (just don't drink "energy" drinks) in My life. But hats off to Red Bull for engaging so fully in Aviation and taking such good care of these historical and important aircraft.
well if ya get the chance, itsa notorios torque tried to salam you into the ground when yer wheels left the ground.... other then that...its a lovely bird... I miss flying it.

I am from Argentina. When I was a child, a retired couple lived across the street from my house. She had the peculiarity of having a strong accent since she was American, and he had been a pilot. Well, one summer my uncles spent a few days at home and they started to get to know them and invited us to take a tea at their house. To my surprise, we started looking their photos and I learned his story. He had been a pilot in the Argentine Air Force, but despite the fact that the country was neutral in WW2, he fought in the US Navy in the Pacific theater. And in fact, at the end of the conflict, he took a beautiful nurse from Philadelphia to Argentina. A lovely woman. But I still remember the huge photo he had of a Corsair with the palm trees of some Pacific island with all the pilots of the squadron standing on its wings. Every time I see this plane, it reminds me of that old man and the admiration I began to feel for him. I now live in Paris, and last month I was lucky enough to see this plane fly at Air Legends 2024. I always regret not having taken the opportunity to talk to him and hear more stories about what that conflict was like.
My Grandfather worked on these planes in WW2 on the USS Essex. So awesome to see a piece of history in the air that I use to enjoy hearing his stories about.
Awesome, my uncle flew one of these planes off the U.S.S. Essex. In fact his final mission of the Essex was Sept 11, 1945 when he had to ditch in rice paddies in China. The Chinese civilians hide him and helped him rejoin American troops.
When I was in the U S Navy and in the Navy Reserves I drilled in Grand Prarie, Tx at NAS Dallas. The Vought Aircraft Company had an F4U that they kept in flying condition. What a beautiful aircraft!
I know a man that flew a F4U in the war. He was friends with Pappy Boyington. Never flew with him , but was friends with him. My favorite airplane since i was 8 years old.
There are many types of F4U models out there, this one is a F4U-4 Corsair. This one has a much more powerful engine than the other models like the F4U-1A or the F4U-1D. It was also made in the late war of ww2
That shot of it lowering its wings at 8:20 is gorgeous. That massive “mouth” for the engine and those curved wings look so aggressive, almost science fiction like.
@chito4 Indeed sci-fi like... no doubt where George Lucas got ideas for many of the Star Wars craft. Especially the folding wings on the Imperial Shuttle Craft.
A totally amazing aeroplane. My dad ( a Kiwi) was a Corsair pilot in the royal navy on aircraft carriers during WW2. Must have been a bit of a come down back in civi street to be getting about inan Austin 7. He was one of the lucky ones.
Just love the sound of that Pratt& Whitnry R-2800 Twin Row Radial engine.Beautiful well keeped Corsair. Thank you for keeping her in excellant condition!❤😊
One of my favorites as a kid, I even had a model of one... I don't how this guy can't overly excited by just doing a pretrip. I can tell he has flown this plane several times!!!
Look at that beauty! Its as if it were being wheeled out of the Chance Vought showroom after handing over the keys and owners manual to a 19 year old Kansas farm boy for his new job at Henderson Field.
My dad was a " plan captain " working on these beautiful birds when I was a wee lad..Sweet memories of those times every time I see and or hear these engines. Thanks!
I worked my summer evenings for a gentleman that was an agricultural aerial applicator but he also owned one of these magnificent planes. There is not a WW II aircraft that looks or has the whistle or howl of the Corsair. The Japanese named it the “Whistling Death”!
Excellent video! What a machine, it’s amazing that this particular machine was built in 1945 and has been restored to flyable condition. Also no music overlay makes it all stand out.
Looking at all the WW2 fighter aircraft, it reminds me of the quote, "every Lady has her charm...you just have to know where to look..." While other aircraft come close the B-17 which is my favorite and the F4U are the most stunning!
Reno Nv. U.S.A.!!! I was working next to the airport in Hayward CA. Hearing planes take off all day!!! Heard one Learjet sounded cool!!! Then I heard something special,,, It sounded like a 426 Hemi taxiing down the runway!!! When I saw it take off,,, You guessed it it was a F4U CORSAIR!!! IT SUUNDS LIKE NHRA!!! I STOPED WORKING,,, WENT OUY SIDE JUST TO SEE WHAT IT WAS!!!
What a gorgeous, beautiful, awesome, piece of American ingenuity. Graceful yet powerful. This film made me realize how a wonderful creation like this exemplifies the greatness of aviation engineers and the manufacturers that made a bird like this happen. Pure "poetry in motion". And to think this aircraft was designed, assembled, and flown well over EIGHTY years ago! As I watched this video, these thoughts rolled through my mind and my eyes slightly teared up, being proud to be a part of this great nation we call the United States.😂
Right around 8:50 it sounds like a big ass harley idling...and it should, same design principles on the crank. All around very nice aircraft. One of the most successful of the war in the Pacific.
I had my best friend who was in the Marines aviation. I'm 6 years Navy. He got me into building aircraft models. Up to like 30 now. Along with some of the Navy Tributes
Although lots of WW2 warbird aficinados say that Mustang/Spitfire/Me-109 are epitomes of aviation...IMHO... Would have to say Corsair, Jug & FW-190 are my "3 Musketeers"
When I was younger I worked for a retired Lt Commander in the navy who flew most of the piston powered planes during WW2 and he said the Corsair was his favorite plane,very agile, fast and manueverable, He called it The bent wing widow maker, it was known as that name be cause it suffered no fools for pilots. He also said the wings were bent to accomodate the diameter of the big propn for extra groung clearance. He also praised the Hell Cat.
1:55 In WWII they weren’t as careful about getting dribbles of fuel on the paint! You can see pics of fuel running down the fuselage, wings and staining the entire underside of the fuselage. Bravo! 👏 Well done! 🙌
The air duct you see before the large opening for the R-2800 indicates this wasp motor is supercharged. So its actually making closer to 2,800-3,000 horsepower
All R2800 engines in fact had some sort of supercharging, from early singe-speed/single -stage mechanical to the complicated turbosupercharger on the Thunderbolt. The highest power output for any in service was the -73 in the P-61 with a turbosupercharger and 2800hp. The highest power Corsairs to see service in WW2 had 2380hp with the -18W, which had water/methanol injection to get that power, but only for short bursts, and the -32W, also with water/methanol, plus a variable speed two-stage supercharger.
Beautiful, formidable, and spectacular design to look at. Built a model of one of these when I was a kid - favorite. Oh - and the sound that won it the moniker "Whistling Death". 7:52.
Помню, у меня лет в тринадцать была авиамоделька Корсара. Я тогда уже научился их клеить более-менее нормально😊. Но покрасил его я зеленой краской для стен. Другой не было. А звёзды раскрасил маминым лаком для ногтей. Конечно! Это же должен был быть советский самолёт! 😊 но как же он был хорош со своими гнутыми крыльями! Все ребята во дворе мне завидовали...😊
Just hope they did a penetrant dye inspection or an x-ray inspection of all the primary structure elements that might have microscopic cracks before they subject them to air loads and aerodynamic forces. That would be the safest approach to restoring and bringing this vintage aircraft up to airworthiness.
My uncle was stationed on USS Hancock CV19 Excess Aircraft assigned to task force 58 in the Pacific Theater WW II as a AOM supply bombs and torpedoes for Air Group 6 & 7 @ 80. I have from the archives of Corsair flying off the decks .
Be still my heart!!! My all time fav plane in all it's showroom glory. I know I say that about every one of your air fleet, but really, listen to the lope of that Pratt @9:55 and don't tell you don't get hard chills thinking of that power with 130 octane av gas. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful. The Corsair (dubbed the Whistling Death by the Japanese) due to its distinct engine sound. The US navy had a different nickname “Ensign Eliminator”, the first squadron to get the Corsair had dozen or more fatal crashes trying to deck land the fighter. The landing gear was way too stiff, causing a kangaroo jump effect, the cockpit position lacked proper visibility due to the air frame being so high and angled up, to accommodate the huge propeller. and attempts to adjust the angle in landing caused the right wing to stall out. And so, between wing stall, and over throttle high torque flipping, the landing gear, the US navy didn't want it scratching the landing deck of its carries. There is a long-standing argument that the British came to the rescue. Some deny it. However, they made some modifications, a wedge riveted to the front of the starboard wing cured the one wing stall, a pressure relief valve to the landing gear, to soften the landing. British Captain Eric Melrose (Winkle) Brown had previously developed a landing method, for their own long nosed aircraft the Seafire, called ‘crabbed’ landing was adopted, to get around the lack of visibility. Swinging the nose to starboard with the rudder, while counteracting the swing putting on a slight opposite bank. He made the aircraft ‘crab’ in sideways, to give a better a view of the deck over the wing. TaDah! Back in business!
along with the Spitfire, truly amazing aircraft. Remember watching Baa Baa Black Sheep in black n white as a toddler and then sitting down and trying to draw the Vought F4U
You just can't beat the sound of a radial engine. WWII birds have always been my favorite. So classy and elegant. Take the redbull crap off and she'd be perfect.
I'm 60 years old. Asked to oversee restoration to airworthiness of a P-47 removed from its assembly line in 1945 when production ceased. It has never flown. Struggling to decide if I can devote what remains of my youth, married to a decade long (at least) endeavor.

All I can say at my age 72 it is still the most beautiful airplane ever built, I am not a pilot but to me they are bad a**
It really just that plus so cool. Tks . God Bless. ❤😊
It seems an unfortunate positive how much world war two accelerated the development of aircraft.
Wasn't for red bull she wouldn't be flying.

So cool. My grandpa fought in the Pacific too. His unit was sent into Hiroshima 5 days after it was bombed. I have pictures of him with survivors that they were giving help to and the city looks like it was bulldozed flat. Just piles of rubble.
War is hell, but it was a better option than invading Japan.
By FAR the best looking prop fighter ever made. Such a beautiful plane, and those wings look like they where sculpted by a master...
I've never drank a Red Bull (just don't drink "energy" drinks) in My life. But hats off to Red Bull for engaging so fully in Aviation and taking such good care of these historical and important aircraft.

What a beautiful piece of aviation history.
Such a beast of a plane.
I totally agree, number 2 among my favorite WW2 planes just behind the Spitfire
P-47 Thunderbolt, also a wonderful creation. Strong,sure, capable of flight with much sustained damage.
I love that chop of the engine. Sounds like a classic muscle car.
Awesome ol girl.......but am I the only one who thinks it's a sin to have Redbull painted on the side of this piece of art?
You're not, but someone has to pay the bills...
1st thing that popped into my mind!
It is a sin
Cela s'appelle un sponsor... un mécène... Sans lui ton Corsair serait chez un ferrailleur...
It's beyond a sin for that ugly bull to be on such a great piece of flying history.
When I was in the U S Navy and in the Navy Reserves I drilled in Grand Prarie, Tx at NAS Dallas. The Vought Aircraft Company had an F4U that they kept in flying condition. What a beautiful aircraft!
One of my favorite planes of all time
Seems ridiculous that most fail to call the F4U as the "Wildcat", precursor to the F6U 'Hellcat" and the F8u "Bearcat"!!
Some love, some hate RedBull, but the fact, they maintain some really rare planes, helicopters, is so amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah but the red bull logo looks really bad there.
might be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever

Had a toy of this plane when I was a kid. I was fascinated how the wings folded. The sounds I made while flying it were pretty close. :)
I think the Corsair is the most magnificent aircraft of WWII.
👍💯
👍or Hellcat, P-51
The P-38 is high on my list.
I believe the F6F holds the most air-to-air kills in WWII but correct me if I'm wrong.
Add the P-51 to that list.

Red Bull has done a superb job in maintaining and flying this incredibly immaculate Corsair. My personal thanks to the actual people who do the work.
When those wings unfold... spine-tingling. And it looks like a massive wing with a tiny eyedropper for a fuselage.
THE WAY YOU Operate that iPhone camera is smooth and professional you capture the sound it’s almost as fun to see as the plane itself
Hahaha yeah good built in mic on that old iPhone 🤣
There is nothing like the sound of an F4U Corsair.
Perhaps a 2 stroke dirtbike....
A focke wulf fw 190😊
Or a P-47 or an F-6F, since all three birds were packing the same exact engine. The P-51 is merely the great pretender, as good as it was.

He also said the wings were bent to accomodate the diameter of the big propn for extra groung clearance. He also praised the Hell Cat.

man that idle chop is amazing.
The F4U Corsair and the P51D Mustang's are my favorite fighter planes. 👍
Beautiful, formidable, and spectacular design to look at. Built a model of one of these when I was a kid - favorite.
Oh - and the sound that won it the moniker "Whistling Death". 7:52.
Got to take off behind one of these and a B17 last week, was a real treat to say the least.
Nothing like the sound of P&W Double Wasp! We had a F4U do a high speed pass, 100 ft off the runway at MCAS Cherry Point. Still a Top Gun!
It´s loud - it´s blue - it´s an F4U
Of all the allied fighters, I always thought this was the most impressive/beautiful one, its the wings, makes it look awsome
Magnifique, mon préféré, merci pour cette belle vidéo 😊🇨🇵🇨🇵
Eine wundervolle Maschine. Und sehr gute Aufnahme der Startvorbereitung. 👍
Grandpa flew in these off the Ticonderoga. Ship was hit by kamikaze pilots shortly before the war ended. Must have been a wild ride.
even the way it retracts its wheels is spectacular. Hard to believe that aircraft was manufactured, it seems alive.
Well you know what they called the f4u corsair the Ensign Killer.
Everything unbelievably squeaky clean and mint in this clip.
That is my dad's favorite WWII plane.
This is my most favorite radial engine driven aircraft!
I'm enjoying a peach flavored Red Bull as I watch this beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

along with the Spitfire, truly amazing aircraft. Remember watching Baa Baa Black Sheep in black n white as a toddler and then sitting down and trying to draw the Vought F4U
Same here, never missed an episode!
Danke Für das sehr schöne Video❤❤❤
what a Beast... Crazy beautiful
One hell of a beauty!
크고 우람한 뼈대, 유려한 몸선, 강인한 심장, 번쩍번쩍 빛나는 외관.모든 것이 완벽한 기체.
You just can't beat the sound of a radial engine. WWII birds have always been my favorite. So classy and elegant. Take the redbull crap off and she'd be perfect.
Don’t get me wrong the P51 is a great plane as were many during WWII, but the F4U is my favorite design. Love that gull wing. 🤛👍🙏🦅😎🇺🇸
Toujours aussi beau
I'm 60 years old. Asked to oversee restoration to airworthiness of a P-47 removed from its assembly line in 1945 when production ceased. It has never flown. Struggling to decide if I can devote what remains of my youth, married to a decade long (at least) endeavor.
Obviously if you have that skill ... I doubt you would be anywhere near as happy spending that time watching The Price Is Right 👀
its like watching her wake up realize she is on the ground and ask why. BEAUTIFUL machine
It always amazes me at how those folding wings stay latched.
