The red outline on the national insignia was only used for a brief time in 1943, and introduced the bars on the stars. They dropped the red outline for the same reason the red circle was dropped.
Heh, you could hear the History Channel's Battle 360 on the Enterprise in its own exhibit. Possibly the Santa Cruz episode with it talking about the USS Northampton. As for putting models in a pool, have you seen people battle it out with RC battleships rocking little air cannons?
I love that you start this with a view of a Constellation (the 4-engine propeller aircraft with the narrow radome on top). My father spent most of his 22 year naval career piloting Constellations.
A super Connie crew used to fly in coca cola from Guam to Chu Lai in 1967 to the Navy Armory run by two great guys, now where they got cokes was a secret, I didn’t find out till the day I left Vietnam, used to love to go in there and drink a coke or two in the air conditioning with good company, and I mentioned one time to the guys that my M16, like all M16s fired too fast on aut,I ,Mike didn’t say a word, he just grabbed my rifle, took out my buffer and crushed it with some pliers, he then took out a brand new extremely heavy buffer and replaced it, the rifle went from sounding like a zipper being unzipped very fast to chugging, now you could control it, he also took out jewelers files and opened up the chamber and other internal tolerances , rifle worked like a dream, these were the same guys who worked on the Seals weapons, when I turned my weapon in to the small Marine armorer, he was so impressed that he said he was going to keep it for himself, thanks again Mike, I’ll always have fond memories of your kindness and the superconnies that brought the cokes , you have to understand how good an American coke was compared to a Vietnamese one, , like tainted water to Champagne, good memories
It is sad that the USS Enterprise CV 6 got scrapped because congress could not come up with the funds to save the most decorated ship in the history of the US Navy! The model that you show in this video is the Enterprise in 1945! Nice video!!!
There used to be a company that sold a R/C 1/72 Nimitz class carrier. The hull was divided into compartments that bolted together to make it transportable.
Given that this is a high speed tour may I suggest that for the next high speed tour you take a screen shot of the display plaque so we can freeze the video and read it. I had no idea what we were looking at for most of this video.
I really like visiting American Museums, a lot of them are free and as stated in the video you can touch a lot of the exhibits this I found is also true at a lot of their airshows.
I was going to add the same comment! its well worth the trip. bonus last time I was there was a flight of four A10's buzzing the area while we were touring. very cool
Here's summit I found interesting but not in any history books....during heavy air attacks in the Pacific, carrier crew were not only dodging shrapnel but AA rounds from their escorts as gunners regularly got the 'red mist' and kept on firing at aircraft even as the crashed into the water. Apparently the gunners forgot that just behind the zero they were firing at was a aircraft carrier and that large caliber bullets travel quite a distance.
Not to bad. Pensacola get's hit pretty often so any where not on the beach does pretty well. There is some minor flooding but nothing like Katrina or Harvey. Wind does the most damage by ripping off parts of roofing and knocking down trees. Luckily the museum has a soild category 5 plus roof and is built not far from the bases main runway so there are not trees to worry about the out side planes are all tied down and most where original designed to handle ship board conditions including rough seas.
5775zack1 You should. Its amazing. Living in Pensacola, Ive got to see the museum expand a lot over the years. Once you've gone through the musem should go a mile or so down the road and go through Fort Barrancas. It and Fort Pickins on Pensacola beach are remarkable well preserved and are two of the oldest forts in the continental US.
Huh? Silly Chieftain, you know you don't belong in an aviation museum; you can't do the "oh no, my tank is on fire"-manoeuvre on planes. Unless you do something radical and creative....
If you think this is big and impressive Chieftain, you should visit the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton OH. Its FOUR times as big -- the biggest in the world devoted to military birds.
I am a bit sad they nerfed the Corsair so badly in World of Warplanes in order to fit a contrived national dynamic instead of the individual planes flight dynamics. It's like playing with a Corsair skin on a completely different aircraft.
Yes please. These shaky cam videos at a low refresh rate makes me a little queasy. This one was not as bad, but... some of the other ones were awful with the amount of turning.
I lost it at the plaque saying "90,000 tons of diplomacy".
Why did you lose it?

Thank you for the high-speed tour. Those models of the carriers made my jaw drop, specially the 1:72 Big-E! Wonderful and thank you again!

You got it I do not need to correct that one now!

I am a retired Coastie and a pilot, but I am mobility challenged. I'd never be able to tour this museum. Thanks for sharing.
that lockheed super constellation is a thing of beauty , and the catalina too
As an amateur model builder, this absolutely blew my mind. The craftsmanship on those exhibits is breathtaking!

thank you for both CV6 and CVN65
I saw the Blue Angels for the first time at the GSOM air show a couple weeks ago and it was a fantastic sight to see.
I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for the awesome part 2.
Spent nearly a year at NTTC CORRY STATION in Pensacola and never did catch the Blue Angels.
Naval Aviation Museum & the Blues all at once! Lucky man!
Those strange looking tanks can fly? O_O What sorcery is this?
There used to be a company that sold a R/C 1/72 Nimitz class carrier. The hull was divided into compartments that bolted together to make it transportable.
Hey cool, I used to volunteer there when I was stationed in Pensacola. Helped restore a PB4Y.
That was great thanks! I'll visit one day...
I'm surprised I was far more impressed with the fantastic ship models than I was of the actual planes.
TBH they are awesome models
The first models shown were, I believe, an Independence Class CVL and then a little CVE. They don't look like much but were war winning ships.
impressive museum, I must say
Given that this is a high speed tour may I suggest that for the next high speed tour you take a screen shot of the display plaque so we can freeze the video and read it. I had no idea what we were looking at for most of this video.
I used to Volunteer here. Great place.

Chief, you should swing by the USS Alabama, they've got tanks and planes
Yes, it is a surprisingly good collection of planes and tanks for a BB.
is the sub still there?
Phil Byrd Yup!
TheSchultinator ii
Sadly a lot of the stuff they have is in pretty bad condition.
Highly motivated by the model of the Lady Lex with her 8" guns.
I've bee there. Great Museum!! 6:33 the ship that I sadly call home...(well a model of it)
Great Vid. Tanks!!!!!!
Hello! If your name was put after an aircraft, which one would it be? Great content by the way!
I wish you had slowed down when looking at the Models of the CV's .. they were Awesome ..
1:21 How did you time that so perfectly? They appear from behind the trees just as you finish the sentence!
nice video
Dunno if you had gone into the cafe, lots of memorabilia from back when the US owned Subic Bay
The KC-130 that is not fat Albert is the plane the was used for carrier ops testing it was assigned to VMGR-352. My old squadron.
The blue angel are cool you should see them in person
Come to the Pima Air and Space Museum and Boneyard here in Tucson, Arizona! ---------> 12th attempt
jayrodmurderface love that place
And while you are in AZ go to Falcon Field in Mesa, you can get a ride in a B-17.
You should come when it is not Arizona Summertime (May-October).
One day... I hope...
I was going to add the same comment! its well worth the trip. bonus last time I was there was a flight of four A10's buzzing the area while we were touring. very cool
Oh no, the planes on fire! (Ejects)
7:47 you can see and Hear Battle360 USS Enterprise Episode 2 playing
Must be nice, the statics including a SR-71 are OFF LIMITS in San Antonio/Lackand AFB for "saftey" of the base.
Come to Chino Plain of Fame it's a great place
They say the blue paint Job makes the jets faster
Here's summit I found interesting but not in any history books....during heavy air attacks in the Pacific, carrier crew were not only dodging
shrapnel but AA rounds from their escorts as gunners regularly got the 'red mist' and kept on firing at aircraft even as the crashed into the water.

quite a distance.
Was the CVA66 there
I believe they have a model of every carrier class the US Navy had.
The sheer size of a Nimitz class carrier is amazing. It's something you truly don't understand until you see one up close.
Though it IS dwarfed by some of of the civilian super cargo ships those things are HUGE.
6:48 - 7:15 IT'S THE LUCKY E!
Just by chance: is it that plane hanging of the side?
Yes it is. it's either a helldiver or a corsair as both folded their wings like that though it looks like a Corsair
Has this been filmed with a Nokia 3310?
Very short: They have a model of every CV the US ever had. ;-)
Did Pensacola get hit very hard by the hurricane?
Not to bad. Pensacola get's hit pretty often so any where not on the beach does pretty well. There is some minor flooding but nothing like Katrina or Harvey. Wind does the most damage by ripping off parts of roofing and knocking down trees. Luckily the museum has a soild category 5 plus roof and is built not far from the bases main runway so there are not trees to worry about the out side planes are all tied down and most where original designed to handle ship board conditions including rough seas.
go to the museum where they have the last Ho229 in existence
Mike P the Udvar-Hazey Center in Virginia? You can't actually go up to it as the 229 is in the restoration hangar
Wulfe isn't it fully restored yet?
Not when I went to go see it last July. i.imgur.com/HGADjuy.jpg
Wulfe damn...
Well, I know what musuem I'm visiting next!

they are playing the glitch mob lol
The Navy motto: why clean it when you can paint it

Sure you can, ever try to get out of the jump seat on a B-1B or A Navy C-2 COD?
I SAW a CATALINA!!!!! FLOAT PLANE!!!!

For the love of all that is decent in this world, get a stabilizer for your camera

Stick to tanks dude !
