Why would antifa (which stands for anti-fascist) thumbs down an American aircraft? By your comment that would make the U.S. fascist. Now if you had said "ISIS turds" that would make sense or even "Nazi turds", but then again you might actually be a Nazi turd. In that case, my apologies.
Sometimes, when Ive eaten too many licorice chocolate coated bullets, { a delicacy in Australia ) and have drunk too much milk with them, I deposit antifa turds in the toilet bowl. Now isn't it splendid the vast sharing of culturally rich and fascinating information a vintage aircraft manifests.
My late Dad flew the F4U-4 in the VBF-1 squadron, assigned to the CV-20 USS Bennington. When I was a kid, he would smile when he spoke of it. He named it “Cookie” (his nickname for my late Mom.) Imagine flying this at the age of 22 years, in combat. He participated in the last major battle of WWII (the battle of Kure), and scored a direct hit on the IJN battleship “Hyuga”. Dad returned home safely after the war with the Navy Cross and the Air Medal.
Howdy, I'm a corsair enthusiast and I love learning stories from the pilots who used them. The raid on Kure is especially interesting to me and this is the first time i've had confirmation that F4U-4s were used during the raid. Can you please share the whole story that you know? Including the raid and how your father was blessed to get his hands on a rare F4U-4 at the time. I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you
I could agree more -- no music and no announcer and no crowds noise. Just the sound and sight of one of the moat beautiful planes to come out of that era! I saw No. 799 (first one off the ground in this video) fly at the Dream Machines show in Half Moon Bay, CA in 2014.
My dad flew Corsairs off the USS Princeton during the Korean War. Said it was a handful to fly. He managed to survive 37 missions & a typhoon! Thanks for posting!
drguffey . My Uncle flew an F-4U Corsair on the USS Bairoko (CVE-115) during the Korean War 'Aerial view of USS Bairoko (CVE-115) underway' www.navsource.org/archives/03/0311511.jpg 'USS Bairoko, is shown as she arrived at Pearl Harbor Thursday evening, July 28 (1949)' www.navsource.org/archives/03/0311503.jpg
Wow! Great to see 5 Corsairs in the air! Mr. Steve Hinton is the greatest and I loved seeing him put that F4U-4 through it's paces, wow! As someone who watched Baa Baa Blacksheep as a kid, the Corsair will always be the best plane ever made. May they continue to grace the skies for all to appreciate.
Peggy Hill U and ME both. I'm like a kid in a candy store. 5, count 'em, 5 Corsairs in one place. WOW. And even better, the company, Vought, was in my hometown in CT: Bridgeport. And my bro worked at Sikorsky for many years in Stratford. And many fond memories of Pappy and the Winged Marines. Robert Conrad, yes?
There are so many fantastic planes like the P47 and P51 - it's impossible to judge but the Corsair is just wow! For me the last and greatest piston engined plane is the Skyraider! What a fantastic aeroplane!!
BEAUTIFUL!! Such an amazing machine flown by skilled pilots and maintained by the hands, brains and hearts of wonderful people who keep the memories alive.
The Corsair is my favorite aircraft. I got so close to climbing into 799 one year and it made me so happy just being so close to her. I was there at this airshow that year and I loved watching all those Corsairs flying
Even tho the TV series Black Sheep squadron back in the 70's would eventually have eight corsairs involved with the TV series, I don't believe they ever had more than five flying at any one time. This is definitely a rare air show event.
one of my favorite WW2 planes besides the P-38 P-47 and B-17, brings tears to my eyes to see these planes still flying, love to all who keep them going, much respect.
This was very good. I appreciate the fact finally somebody filming in HD knows how to adjust the speed so we see the shadowing effect of the propellers like we do with our eyes and not this look of propellers standing still in the middle of flying or revving up.
Great video. My dad flew the Corsair off an aircraft carrier in Korea and he and I went to the Planes of Fame Airshow a few years before he passed away so it brought back wonderful memories.
My parents met on the Corsair assembly line in Connecticut during WW2. My dad had a broken finger that wasn't set correctly when he was a kid and the military declared him 4-F. He was 6'3 and operated s crane on the assembly line. Mom was 4'10 and was one of the few people short enough to get into the rear of the fuselage and hold the nuts while the front was bolted to the rear.
My two aunts work in Ct plant 7,000 Corsair came out of the Stratford plant one was assembly line other one was in office my Uncle was on the USS Hancock CV9 Aircraft carrier he was on crew of getting the plane for the next mission in pacific theatre 3 fleet.Now l volunteer at Arm plant there is a Museum they are resorting a Corsair it’s cool because l actually in assembly line were the plane were coming out of the plant.
Even though I worked on the F-4 jets during the Vietnam war, I absolutely love the Corsairs. I had an opportunity to meet Pappy Boyington at a fly-in in Watsonville, Ca, 24th of May, 1981 whom as you know was in charge of the Black Sheep Squadron. My wife thought I was nuts for buying his autographed book but I cherish it so much being that we lost him, January 11, 1988. Thank You for the Video.
Great vidéo, my father was a F4U- 7 pilot in French Navy (1952-1961 Indochine war, Egypt crisis, Algérian conflict ) super to see 5 "corsair" in same patrol! and great job to Steeve!...thks a lot
I love that they all have unique markings that relate to actual squadrons. I'm partial to the Jolly Roger's, so it's awesome to see a couple with those markings! Still one of the best planes to ever fly. I know all of the hype goes to the Mustang, but the Corsair was the work horse of the air war and obviously naval aviation.
Corsairs are my favorite WW2 planes. I love how fast and agile they are. I’m still trying to hear the whistling sound they make but their other sounds are great to hear. And I was surprised that there’s different kinds of Corsairs
Thanks for the OUTSTANDING video and excellent sound! My father was at Chosin running a Browning .30 water cooled and he had a particular soft spot for the Vought Corsair. He said they'd come in low upside down over their heads giving them the one finger salute while grinning then right up and lay down napalm on the hordes surrounding them. The strafing runs then commenced till they'd run out of ammo. It was always a bright spot in their day to hear those planes coming in. Watching this video was very cool. USMC aviation low, slow and in your face.
That's a great story! The book, the "Jolly Rogers" details how the Corsair pilots would fly upside down in training and fly so low over roads around Newport News, that they would run cars off the road! The pilots didn't get canned, however. They were moved to a more remote location.
Sentimental.......thanks Mr. Hinton!! My Pops flew Corsairs in Korea, and he also was attached to the 214th when they were out in Hawaii about to transition to Panthers. Lots of stories when I was growing up. Seeing this plane of course made me immediately think of him. Very nice display!!!
Great video, especially on this July 4th. I used to drink at this bar in Thornton, Illinois called "Bottoms Up" Met a fellow patron Ray or "X-ray", 90 yrs old, Retired United airlines pilot but all he ever wanted to talk about was his days in WWII flying F4-U's. My now long past father-in-law was an aircraft mechanic on several aircraft carrier's working on Corsairs & Hellcat's. After keeping shot up war birds flying he went on to a 50 yr. carrier with Ford as a dealer head mechanic. It's because of these amazing veterans from that generation that we get to enjoy all the blessings of this country today. Happy 4th of July weekend to everyone.
Great video ,Great job with the camera, fantastic sound and no annoying announcers , Great to see a formation of corsairs for a change . Steve Hinton is a great pilot and really niece guy .
Oh that sound! Had chills almost the entire video. Great photography as well. Added in Edit: Every design element of the Corsair's design was a straight forward and pragmatic answer to problems. Yet it has to be the sexiest of the round noses.
I love Corsairs! Thank you for filming this, and many many thanks to the pilots and owners who participated. I once had the privilege of sitting in one and having my picture taken by my girlfriend, courtesy of Denny Sherman of Sherman Aircraft Sales based in WPB, FL. Denny had the Corsair parked at X58, the Indiantown, FL airport which has a 6000 ft grass runway, a perfect place for him to do some dual with warbird buyers in a T-6 if the purchased airplane was a single seat like the Corsair.
Great video. I love the planes of fame airshow. Unlike free public airshows, the reasonable admission fee means the crowd is manageable. It's a crowd of WWII aircraft enthusiasts, a patriotic bunch. If you love WWII aircraft, it is worth flying across the country to see. My brother and I went there several times, until he died 4 years ago. I want to go back someday.
Just the best camera work and sound ever! Love them 'Hose-Noses' and HEY... Corsairs can't climb... wait a minute, that's Steve Hinton makin' it look so easy...
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for uploading. Really highlights how much rudder is used on the takeoff roll and the sound is just bloody brilliant.
My Father and Mother served together in the Marines with Air Base Group-2 at MCAS El Toro 1944-1946 performing depot level maintenance on F4Us coming back from the Pacific.
That loping, hot-rod idle is one of the most evocative sounds I've heard in quite a while. My all time favorite prop warbird. Great video, great sound. Great and gracious thanks for posting this! 🙏🙏🙏
Great footage of the day. I was there and it was a rare day at Chino. That overcast is not a typical day out there. Usually it's hot as hell on show day. Great video. Thanks for posting it.
Excellent Video...thanks...the F4U Corsair is one Heck of a nice plane, what a ROAR of that engine you just can't beat it... glad to see some people with lots of money keeping them alive still. My favorite 2 planes are #1 F4U corsair and 2nd is the F4 Phantom.
I don't know how you kept it together. If I was faced with FIVE Corsairs at one time, at the very least I'd probably forget to remove the lens cover or I'd be so giddy the images would come out al blurry. Like the bumper sticker on my truck says "real airplanes have round engines". Although truth be told I wouldn't kick a Merlin or even an Allyson out of bed. lol. Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job and sharing it with the rest of us. Take care and God Bless from Florida.
I remember back in the mid 1970's visiting the airport in nearby Great Barrington MA. with my older brother who was taking flying lessons at the time. The office was filled with models and photos of Corsairs. I was told that the owner/operator was a former factory test pilot for Vought. That must have been a great job, flying brand new Corsairs every day.
Wow! Nice show! My heart beats spécialy for the F4U-7! My dad, who died the 4 of july 2018, was a pilot in the French Navy from late 50s to early 70s, and was a Corsair pilot, on F4U-1 and F4U-7! He’s a vétéran of the Events in Algeria and the Battle of Bizerte, Tunisia! Near 100 F4U-7 were built for the French Navy, and so few remain today! When i see a F4U-7 fly, I can not help but tell myself that my father may have flown this plane, and may have fought on board!
My grandparents took me to see The Ghost Squadron air show in the mid to late 70's. I fell in love with the Corsair, and then the Black Sheep TV show reinforced it. Thanks for posting this video!
That's the beauty and artform of these planes taking off slowly and seeing that one propeller actually spin in slow motion which was fast back in the day and only going but so fast !!!!
Beautifully shot and edited video. Must have been comforting to be a Marine on the Pacific Island hopping campaign , and to hear the distinctive sound of the radial engines of a bunch of F-4's overhead flying top cover for you.
Thank you for posting a video with no background music or talking. I see others have posted this as well. Wish everyone would do this on videos such as this.
With all due respect to the young folks out there, that was better than sex. And Steve Hinton sure knows how to put that bent wing beauty through her paces. No wonder the Japanese nicknamed her "Whistling Death". Excellent video work. Thank you for posting and God Bless from Florida.
As a professional photographer I know just how hard it is to video aircraft, especially fast flying aircraft. I think you did an admirable job in following them and not letting your auto focus, and white balance go wild. Well Done!
The Corsair is my favorite airplane. I saw one flying into town on July 2, 2018. I heard a P51 Mustang fly over my apartment, threw my shoes on and went outside just in time to catch his partner in a Corsair flying over. I went to the airport and was allowed to go back into the hangar. I talked with the pilots and got some pics. At air shows, people can't get super close to these planes. In the hangar that day, I was right up next to them. I liked it a lot.
Truly OUTSTANDING video/audio project - without question, one of the very best I've seen in 20± years of watching online videos ... especially aircraft ... since aviation has been my life for 65+ years. Well Done Sir !!
Hi I'm Zach! I really love all the 5x Vought F4U Corsairs in this video! They are 1x 1942 Vought F4U-1A Corsair from VMF-214 Black Sheep, 2x 1943 Vought F4U-1D Corsairs from VF-103 Jolly Rogers, 1x 1944 Vought F4U-4 Corsair from VMF-312 Checkerboards, and 1x 1947 Vought F4U-7 Corsair from VF-101 Grim Reapers. Fun Facts: the Vought F4U Corsair was built and manufactured by Vought Aerospace from 1940 to 1953 with 12,775 planes built and served in World War II and the Korean War, the plane entered service with the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps on December 28, 1942 following combat debut in February 1943 (U.S. Marine Corps) and August 1943 (U.S. Navy) with entry to full-time carrier service in March 1944. By September 2, 1945, the plane shot down 4,280 Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zeroes second to the Grumman F6F Hellcat! The plane is 34 feet long, wingspan 41 feet wide, and stands 16 feet tall. It holds one pilot and has one 2,300 horsepower propeller engine with ether a 3-blade or 4-blade propeller and it's maximum speed is 470 miles per hour! The F4U Corsair can also fly to 41,900 feet up in the sky and fly 1,645 miles without refueling on the planes internal and external fuel tanks! The F4U Corsair also carries 4 or 6 machine guns with 631 rounds of bullets per gun, 16 missiles, and 4,000 pounds of bombs! In Popular culture, the Vought F4U Corsair appeared in various movies like Flying Leathernecks (1951), The Black Sheep (1976), Night at the Museum 2 (2009), and the Disney/Pixar movies Planes (2013), and Planes: Fire and Rescue (2014) as a character named Skipper Riley played by actor Stacy Keach.
As a boy,I built every kit made by Aurora ahd Revell.This beauty was my favorite WW2 plane.( Me109 and FW190 were very nice) Loved the fokker D7 and the Spad 13 also.The model USS Iowa was amazing, nearly 2 feet long. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for posting this awesome video. I just love Corsair. The best warbird ever. And there is nothing better than the sound on low passes. Oh yeah... Greetings from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
I once had the op to go by Alan Preston's hanger in Addison Tx (Dallas) as a young solo pilot at the airport when they were filming of 1970's Black Sheep Sqd back in Calif. Though Preston owned several F4Us, for some reason that day, there were several more from Calif owned by others in his hanger with his collection. There was no one there except Alan and he walked me around the hanger and then let me climb up and sit in the cockpit of the one he owned at the time which was surrounded by the others Sitting nearly two stories off the ground in the middle of several other birds all having their carrier wings up and decked out in 214 Pappy ..... Magic Day.
Thank you everyone for the kind comments!! More videos to come!
Awesome video, thanks! What 28 Godless heathens gave it a thumbs down? Probably antifa turds.
Why would antifa (which stands for anti-fascist) thumbs down an American aircraft? By your comment that would make the U.S. fascist. Now if you had said "ISIS turds" that would make sense or even "Nazi turds", but then again you might actually be a Nazi turd. In that case, my apologies.
apparently you have no idea who antifa turds are and what they represent
Sometimes, when Ive eaten too many licorice chocolate coated bullets, { a delicacy in Australia ) and have drunk too much milk with them, I deposit antifa turds in the toilet bowl. Now isn't it splendid the vast sharing of culturally rich and fascinating information a vintage aircraft manifests.
Voodoo1650 Thanks, keep it REAL. NOT so many of us left...
My late Dad flew the F4U-4 in the VBF-1 squadron, assigned to the CV-20 USS Bennington. When I was a kid, he would smile when he spoke of it. He named it “Cookie” (his nickname for my late Mom.)
Imagine flying this at the age of 22 years, in combat. He participated in the last major battle of WWII (the battle of Kure), and scored a direct hit on the IJN battleship “Hyuga”.
Dad returned home safely after the war with the Navy Cross and the Air Medal.
Howdy, I'm a corsair enthusiast and I love learning stories from the pilots who used them. The raid on Kure is especially interesting to me and this is the first time i've had confirmation that F4U-4s were used during the raid. Can you please share the whole story that you know? Including the raid and how your father was blessed to get his hands on a rare F4U-4 at the time. I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you
@@thecolbster27: Here's a short intro: www.beardmore.net/vbf1.html
The VBF-1 squadron was comprised exclusively of Corsairs.
@@TBNTX Thank you I appreciate it
It is hard to find People that Understand! Thanks! I was taught by some of The Greatest Generations, Ever! Thanks, Again!
Thank you for the share and link!
Awesome video. Very much appreciate no annoying music or chattering announcers. Nothing but big bad radials!
I could agree more -- no music and no announcer and no crowds noise. Just the sound and sight of one of the moat beautiful planes to come out of that era! I saw No. 799 (first one off the ground in this video) fly at the Dream Machines show in Half Moon Bay, CA in 2014.
I second that!!!! No extra noise.
Exactly what I thought by seing this video. A real pleasure to enjoy that terrific sound !

My Dad was a corsair mechanic on the Carrier USS Antietam #36 pied pipers squadron 89 in WW2.
What do you mean a hand full to fly do you mean hard to fly or fun to fly?

THANK YOU, poster of this video, for not adding cheezy, corny and distracting music; the R-2800 makes all the music one needs.
What the HELL is wrong with you?

Thank you. As a Marine, I particularly loved the VMF-214 F4U Corsair airshow. Semper Fi!
Thank you, and thank you for your service!!
Wow! Great to see 5 Corsairs in the air! Mr. Steve Hinton is the greatest and I loved seeing him put that F4U-4 through it's paces, wow!

My stepfather few corsairs in WW2. Wish he was still around to have seen this. Thanks
The Corsair is my favorite aircraft. I got so close to climbing into 799 one year and it made me so happy just being so close to her. I was there at this airshow that year and I loved watching all those Corsairs flying
@@johnklatt3522 It would have been awesome if I had gotten to ride in 799
That's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. A flight of corsairs still flying. Thank you for the video.
The Corsair was a plane flown mostly by Marine pilots. Semper FI.
Thanks for posting. My dad flew the Corsairs in the South Pacific in WW II. He loved flying the F4U. I am sure he is Heaven ...flying one now
Even tho the TV series Black Sheep squadron back in the 70's would eventually have eight corsairs involved with the TV series, I don't believe they ever had more than five flying at any one time. This is definitely a rare air show event.
My eyes teared up when I saw all five flying in formation. I was trying to imagine it was 1944 and they were out on patrol! Always my favorite bird!
Living history! How lucky we are to see this awesome display. It’s like turning the clock back 75+ years.
This is an indescribably beautiful demonstration to see of the finest airplane and close ground-support plane EVER to take to the skies!! Jim. g.

Incredible,
after around 70 years or so, Corsairs still have the look of modern sport fun birds....
Those planes are in fantastic condition. It's nice to see people obviously passionate about keeping them that way after 70 years.
Very nice vid. No freakin' music. Just the roar of those mighty engines. Terrific camera work, too.
Great video. The background sky gave a great sense of speed,motion, and depth that severe clear blue skies can't.
Wow, this is awesome. Didn't realize that there were that many Corsairs still flying, and I'm sure there's more to be found around the globe.
The most beautiful aircraft ever built. The sound of those radial engines always make my hair stand on end. Awsome!
Great vidéo, my father was a F4U- 7 pilot in French Navy (1952-1961 Indochine war, Egypt crisis, Algérian conflict ) super to see 5 "corsair" in same patrol! and great job to Steeve!...thks a lot
Five Corsairs? That's more propeller blades and engine cylinders than you can shake a stick at.

I was there and it was a rare day at Chino. That overcast is not a typical day out there.
Usually it's hot as hell on show day.
Great video. Thanks for posting it.
Excellent Video...thanks...the F4U Corsair is one Heck of a nice plane, what a ROAR of that engine you just can't beat it... glad to see some people with lots of money keeping them alive still. My favorite 2 planes are #1 F4U corsair and 2nd is the F4 Phantom.
I don't know how you kept it together. If I was faced with FIVE Corsairs at one time, at the very least I'd probably forget to remove the lens cover or I'd be so giddy the images would come out al blurry. Like the bumper sticker on my truck says "real airplanes have round engines". Although truth be told I wouldn't kick a Merlin or even an Allyson out of bed. lol. Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job and sharing it with the rest of us. Take care and God Bless from Florida.
What a fantastic looking aircraft. A real piece of design and engineering. Thanks for not adding a music soundtrack.
The best Corsair video I have ever seen. Kick Ass is the phrase that comes to mind !
Great video. Nothing like the sound of all those P&W radials. 10,000 hp.!
Simply magnificent! Hinton carves it up in expert fashion as usual. Superb aircraft, pilots and crew. Bravo.
I remember back in the mid 1970's visiting the airport in nearby Great Barrington MA. with my older brother who was taking flying lessons at the time. The office was filled with models and photos of Corsairs. I was told that the owner/operator was a former factory test pilot for Vought. That must have been a great job, flying brand new Corsairs every day.
Wow! Nice show!
My heart beats spécialy for the F4U-7! My dad, who died the 4 of july 2018, was a pilot in the French Navy from late 50s to early 70s, and was a Corsair pilot, on F4U-1 and F4U-7! He’s a vétéran of the Events in Algeria and the Battle of Bizerte, Tunisia!
Near 100 F4U-7 were built for the French Navy, and so few remain today! When i see a F4U-7 fly, I can not help but tell myself that my father may have flown this plane, and may have fought on board!
bj quelle flotille?merci
Now that's what I like to see at this rate as long as we keep restoring these beautiful birds will be able to show Generations to come
Outstanding video of the air show. It takes real skill to fly these older model planes. Thanks for sharing!
this plane is a work of art i have always loved the corsair
My grandparents took me to see The Ghost Squadron air show in the mid to late 70's. I fell in love with the Corsair, and then the Black Sheep TV show reinforced it.
Thanks for posting this video!
That's the beauty and artform of these planes taking off slowly and seeing that one propeller actually spin in slow motion which was fast back in the day and only going but so fast !!!!
Beautifully shot and edited video. Must have been comforting to be a Marine on the Pacific Island hopping campaign , and to hear the distinctive sound of the radial engines of a bunch of F-4's overhead flying top cover for you.
Thank you for posting a video with no background music or talking. I see others have posted this as well. Wish everyone would do this on videos such as this.
With all due respect to the young folks out there, that was better than sex. And Steve Hinton sure knows how to put that bent wing beauty through her paces. No wonder the Japanese nicknamed her "Whistling Death". Excellent video work. Thank you for posting and God Bless from Florida.
5:09 you can hear it start to whistle! Great video
Great camera work. Tingling all over. What a plane.
As a professional photographer I know just how hard it is to video aircraft, especially fast flying aircraft. I think you did an admirable job in following them and not letting your auto focus, and white balance go wild. Well Done!
Man, loving seeing these big ol' beasts. The gull wing is just COOL!
Could watch these graceful powerhouses all day. My favorite WWII bird. Dad spoke of these supporting he and his fellow Marines during the Korean War.
The Corsair is my favorite airplane. I saw one flying into town on July 2, 2018. I heard a P51 Mustang fly over my apartment, threw my shoes on and went outside just in time to catch his partner in a Corsair flying over. I went to the airport and was allowed to go back into the hangar. I talked with the pilots and got some pics. At air shows, people can't get super close to these planes. In the hangar that day, I was right up next to them. I liked it a lot.
Truly OUTSTANDING video/audio project - without question, one of the very best I've seen in 20± years of watching online videos ... especially aircraft ... since aviation has been my life for 65+ years. Well Done Sir !!
The first plane had 3 different numbers on it:795,759 and 799. Great video, thanks for uploading.
Beautiful airplane and the sound of those big round engines especially on takeoff. Turn up the volume !!!
Hearing a beautiful old bird purr like a kitten and fly so beautifully is inspiring

What's really great about this video: NO ANNOUNCER BLABBERING over the SWEET SOUND of the Pratt & Whitney R-2800s
As a boy,I built every kit made by Aurora ahd Revell.This beauty was my favorite WW2 plane.( Me109 and FW190 were very nice) Loved the fokker D7 and the Spad 13 also.The model USS Iowa was amazing, nearly 2 feet long. Thanks for this video.
Absolutely beautiful!!! Seeing one or even two, but 5 Corsairs, amazing.
In my eyes, always and forever, the most beautiful aircraft ever. Thanks for this great video.
Phenomenal camera work! Great sound, doing the subject well.
wow a majestic sight thank you
Absolutely Stunning to see them all together! Well Done ! Thank you so much for this!
All of these Corsair's are gorgeous but the one painted with VMF-214 markings is really sharp!
Excellent video. Thanks so much for posting! The clarity and definition are amazing along with outstanding photography!
My all-time favorite fighter! Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks for posting this awesome video. I just love Corsair. The best warbird ever. And there is nothing better than the sound on low passes. Oh yeah... Greetings from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
Enemy soldiers in Korea may have had a different view of how nice that low-level pass sounded *s*
OH YEAH !!
Wow. You don't get to see five of these things together often. But to think that once, they flew by the hundreds, or thousands.
Yes Awesome The sound of the Corsair is all the music my ears need to hear
Chills! I keep getting chills watching the fly-bys and hearing that sound!
Absolutely gorgeous aircraft. Their design may have been dictated by their purpose, but that's what makes them beautiful.
Thanks for the great footage! I was there for the show, saw them in person. So greatfull that you shared your footage so everyone can see!
Beautiful airplanes, beautiful round motor sounds....thank you so much.
I once had the op to go by Alan Preston's hanger in Addison Tx (Dallas) as a young solo pilot at the airport when they were filming of 1970's Black Sheep Sqd back in Calif. Though Preston owned several F4Us, for some reason that day, there were several more from Calif owned by others in his hanger with his collection. There was no one there except Alan and he walked me around the hanger and then let me climb up and sit in the cockpit of the one he owned at the time which was surrounded by the others Sitting nearly two stories off the ground in the middle of several other birds all having their carrier wings up and decked out in 214 Pappy ..... Magic Day.
The Corsair is an amazing aircraft! Steve Hinton is a truly great pilot, right there with Bob Hoover.
Thanks for letting the real "music" play, great video.
