A Walk Through the MAPS Air Museum

- In the morning of this sixth day of my week-long Michigan & Ohio Museum Odyssey, I visited the MAPS Air Museum in North Canton, Ohio.
In the afternoon, I went on to visit the National Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio.
Thank you for posting your recent trip. I plan to have a binge watch today.
Danke fürs Hochladen.
Again! Thank You for your Videos. I get to go to my Favorite Museums where my Legs will not carry me yet. Must be a lot to see in Ohio. I will have to return. Thank you. Love Rusty &Cheryl
I do like the museum's attention to the artifacts and the people, I've always appreciated that in other museums where that's well done
Thank you so much for sharing your museum visits! I like your voice and the manner of commenting stuff. Please continue, I’m already your subscriber and I’m going to like all your videos of this kind :)
That is really nice museum. The display of artifacts, uniforms, and the associated history with the placards and narratives is very well done. It is museum quality. I could spend a day just looking at the indoor area. The crown jewel of the airplanes is the B-26 Marauder. Among the great WW2 combat aircraft, the B-26 is the most rare, with only perhaps a dozen in existence.
The rocket at 46:17 is a Saturn1B.It was used to launch Apollo 7, the three Skylab crews, and the Apollo/Soyuz flight in 1975. Great video.
A Marauder is a B-26 a Peacemaker would be a B-36
Yeah, that really threw me.
The Blue Angels flew the A4 for 11 years, 1974 thru 1985. I'm local to this museum and usually once a year the Wings of Freedom tour visits and you can fly in some of the old bombers.
The Angels flew the A-4 into 1986. The official handover/public unveiling of the F-18 as the A-4 demo replacement didn't happen until November 1986. The actual first public aerial displays of the Blue Angels F-18 team happened in 1987.
The Angels are beginning the process of transitioning to the F-18E/F Super Hornet as their next demo plane since it's getting harder to source parts for the A-D Legacy Hornet models the Angels have been flying up to now. They're saying 2021/2022 will be the debut of the Super Hornet as the new Blue Angels demo plane. Boeing is allegedly doing the modifications to the selected F-18E/F airframes right now.
The Super Hornet is almost a completely different beast than the F-18 A-D models; it has less than 14% parts commonality with the older plane and is essentially really the F-24 (scaled up airframe, different engines) but they didn't call it the F-24 for political reasons. The Super Hornet has the advantage of still being in production and being much easier to acquire spare parts for.
I think the Angels will probably get Block I Super Hornets from circa 2005; the current production standard is the Block III. Those Block I Super Hornets cannot be updated to Block III standard because they have too many structural and wiring differences from later production block SH's for an economical upgrade. The Block I's are also too worn (essentially shouldn't be operated off aircraft carriers anymore!) to make the conversion worth the effort. Even those early-production Super Hornet planes are probably not in as horrible a condition as the F-18 A-D's the Navy officially retired from carrier use in 2018. There are videos of parts falling off Blue Angels F-18s in flight. It's really sad the authorities let things come to this but that's the way it happened....
As always, a great tour. In the USA, they care a lot about the history of aviation. Thanks!
The hovering CH-47 was a cool grab.
Had Claymore mines set up facing in on perimeter by our own guys, although it specifically told you which side is toward enemy
Thanks !
I really am enjoying all you tours to these museums and ships very educational!,
Thank you,
John L.
Neat tour as always . I am very much enjoying your tours and great commentary . Curious , are you considering touring the MATS airlift command museum in Dover Delaware by any chance ?
Allen Huddleston, are you referring to the Air Mobility Command Museum in Dover? I already have a walk-through video of that museum.
@@youtuuba Thank You for the reply . I will look for that on your system . I am betting that it will be worth the time based on other posts of yours .
Have you heard of Mott's Military Museum, in Groveport? Another small Ohio military museum you might enjoy. I was at the USAF Museum this past Saturday, and I think I'll be volunteering there one day a month!
@16:20 -- Hey kids, that's Han Solo's blaster!
Yep -- the original movie prop was converted from a World War I(?) relic.
A ton of the original Star Wars prop weapons were converted from deactivated British and German arms produced for World War I and World War II.
The Mauser also looks a lot like the Walther P38 (gun, not the plane!!!) that was Wehrmacht standard issue during World War II. It's also the weapon of choice for the gentleman bandit, Lupin III!
We have Several awesome Museums here in Virginia. Quarter Master Museum at Fort Lee in PETERSBURG Va. Awesome Marine Corps Museum at Quantico Va Air NASA CENTER IN HAMPTON VA. ARMY TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM New Port news . Artillery Museum/Of War in New Port News. The Mariners Museum in New Port News. The Air Museum in Virginia Beach Va. Is huge. Many more. The NASA Wind tunnels in Poqusian Va.
The helicopter flying is an CH-47 we get to see them every day over my house
You can skip the first three minutes unless you want a good look at their driveway and parking lot.
Or you can skip this phakeacount's childish comment and just watch the video as intended.
If you don’t know, say so
Karl Summers, if you can't write an intelligible comment, don't.
youtuba, you are a cry baby.
The Blue Angels flew the A-6 between f-4 and the f-18
I think that they flew A-4’s. Yeah, I’m right, Google is your friend.
The Blues never flew A-6s as their demo planes.
I think you mean A-4 Skyhawk. The Angels flew those from 1974 until near the end of 1986.
The A-6 Intruder was a much heavier medium bomber with greater maintenance requirements and not really suited for acrobatic demonstrations. The F-4 wasn't really an ideal acrobatics plane, either, but at the time the Navy wanted to demo their frontline fighter and the Navy was willing to fund the Blue Angels F-4 squadron until the fuel costs got too high after the 1973(?) fuel crisis/embargo.
The F-14 was passed over as a demo plane for the Blues because of costs -- burns more fuel than they wanted to pay for a 8(?)-plane flight team and it had tremendous maintenance costs. It was never an economical plane to operate and maintain. F-14s were demo'd at air shows many times but as single flight demo planes. Usually where you had one, there would be at least another F-14 on static display and/or ready to take over if the intended demo plane developed mechanical problems.
The F-18 didn't enter service with the Blues until 1987 (the Blue Angels F-18 was shown to the public in Nov 1986 but didn't fly at air shows until 1987) because it just wasn't ready until then. They spent almost a decade testing and refining the F-18 from the YF-17 technology demonstrator (1974) into early production F-18A's before it entered service in 1983. Even then, I don't think the F-18 deployed on a carrier until 1985.
Wow a great way to make something Beautiful for something to Kill . (Shell Casings )
Could not believe that this guy's presentation was to go on for an hour. A boring amature. Thinks that the Martin B-26 is a B-36. I have been to over 250 aircraft museums and collections. Have flown on most of the WW2 bombers. Was interested in seeing the MAPs B-26. Have seen the one at Kermit Weeks and at the AF Museum. Went thru the CAF B-26 before its tragic and final crash.
Chuck, you are entitled to your own opinion as to whether my video of this museum is good or not, or if it is "boring". But you are way off track when you accuse me of being an amateur (which you can't spell) as if that were a bad thing. And you clearly don't understand the concept of a museum walk-through. AND, I don't think that a B-26 is a B-36. AND those 'credentials' you list....well, buddy, I have done those things too, in spades, and they don't give you the clout to be such a rude know-it-all.
NOT A MUSEUM .. JUST A COLLECTION OF "WW II RELATED JUNK" WITHOUT COHESION AND A GOD-AWFUL CREAKING DOOR ..
Indication of the well maintained "exhibition" ..
Eh Youtuuba this is so way below your channel content... (content = $$ ?)
Harmen De Jong, you are an ungrateful ass. Go insult somebody else. And this IS a museum....YOU don't get to decide what is and is not a museum.
