@@airailimages Looked it! That Bearcat was beautiful. All the planes were, but that one particularly. That yellow T-6 looked very familiar almost like the one owned by a local doctor a few years back here in Portage, WI at C-47, or local airport. I was trying to remember the ID numbers on the side of the plane and if they matched the one in your video. I'll have to look at some pics in my library to know for sure. Love the sounds of all those ships though. Nothing like those kinds of engines. Cheers!
My grandmother was General Claire Chennault's secretary when he organized the Famed Flying Tigers. She brought home his Dachshund dog and a pet Mynah bird that had belonged to him. I have quite a bit of memorabilia from those missions in India, etc. The P40 were flown in China early in 1942 by the Flying Tigers. The Flying Tigers were supposed to be a private group and not a part of the AAF but the pilots were all AAF and they rotated in and out of the Tigers and were paid really well. Very interesting day to be sure.
There were pilots from the Navy, and Marines in the Flying Tigers, and they went into combat a few weeks after both Pearl Harbor, and the assault on the Philippines, not 1942. The Tigers were folded into the Army Air Forces in July of '42, to become the 23rd Fighter Group.
Came for the Bearcat, stayed for all of the other goodies. Sights to delight and music to my ears. Thank you for a wonderful job as always. Take care and God Bless, Paul from Florida. P.S My screen name is supposed to be "spawn1960, not whatever youtube calls me.
Another great video. The tumble weed blown around the field is so southern Idaho. lol The YAK-9 has some remote resemblance to the P-51A IMHO. The Russians did a lot of reverse engineering during WWII if I remember correctly.
Another great video, Fred! Also, that YAK-9 is one of the new build examples built by the Yakovlev company in the 90's as the YAK-9UA, and powered by a Rolls-Royce V-1710 inline engine. Oh, and the two "Big Sixes" that have a three bladed prop are unsual, because the overall yellow one is fitted with the standard two bladed prop.
One of the T6’s sounds really different. Much higher RPM sound than I’ve heard on a Harvard/SNJ/T6 is it different prop? Less geared engine? Racing engine?
Bearcat 👍
Yup!
I love the sound of the P-51 Mustangs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤
Yes! Thanks for watching... and listening!
Great coverage, Fred, very nicely done...
Thanks Mick! Had a great time doing it.
What a wonderful day that looked like. Beautiful aircraft on a beautiful day. I can almost smell the 100 octane exhaust. Thanks, Fred!
You are very welcome. It was a great day.

It was so great meeting you Fred, the air show was amazing, btw I was the kid in the Arizona Cardinals Jersey thanks for the pin and picture ❤
And good for you and your channel -- there's something about mixing planes and trains that works!
Call me crazy but I like the Allison powered Mustangs.
Yes! Something clean and trim about them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Looks like the Yak-9 had a Hard landing at first.
Yeah, I was worried about that but he knew what he was doing and hit the throttle and went around. Pro move.

Wow, Lynn, that's a great family story to have.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it

Paul, good to hear from you! You are very welcome.
@@airailimages Sorry I haven't been around for a while.. I have been dealing with numerous health issues. Being older ain't for sissies. LOL
Hope you are doing well!
@@airailimages Thank You.

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the tumbleweed set the stage for the breezy day.

I thought the Sixes sounded different from each other and thought there was a difference in props but didn't visually see it, just heard it.
One of the T6’s sounds really different. Much higher RPM sound than I’ve heard on a Harvard/SNJ/T6 is it different prop? Less geared engine? Racing engine?
I see the one with the 3 blade prop, that’s different as well. It’s the red and silver one with KRG on it, 2 blades I’m referring to.
