Cook Cleland had an airport in Willoughby Ohio. The hangar still stands. Just off Euclid Avenue. Cook kept his surplus PBY Catalina’s there that he was going to use for hunting trips to Canada across Lake Erie. The Sohio 57 Corsair was kept there.
Yes, I too saw #57 once, sometime back in the late 50s early 60s, abandoned and alone sitting in a field for many years. This was formerly Cook Cleland's Euclid Avenue Airport at the corner US RT 20(Euclid Avenue) and Beidler Road. Our dad
drove from our home in Eastlake to take my younger brother and me over to see this fabulous warbird.
I didn't remember that the plane was numbered, but I still remembered it was red and white and the wings were clipped. I wanted to get in the plane but wasps were living in the cockpit. The plane sat alone near the one building that was there, the hangar. That was over 1/2 a century ago, that area is built up now, buildings covering all around the old airfield. But amazingly, that hangar is still there, the only reminder that an airport was once here. I was looking at WW2 aircraft on Wiki, and surprised to discover that #57 was saved. Never expected to ever meet this bird ever again, and now I've found out it learned to fly again. Amazing!
@@jeffgreen7499 thanks for sharing your story. Racer 57 is now in Bentonville, AR. I saw her two weeks ago and she is absolutely magnificent to see in person. Just go stand in her presence takes your breath away.
3:08 me playing microsoft flight x steam edition in a plane I didnt know had auto land. XD
I've stood on the wing of Cook Cleland's F2G Super Corsair At the late Walter Soplata's fabled airplane graveyard in Newbury, Oh. Sadly, this plane was sold, restored, and crashed - just what Walter told me would happen to it if he ever sold it.
If it was the Red/White Race 57 then it is still around and flying. If it was the Blue/White Race 74, then yes, sadly it did crash. But it is now supposedly being rebuilt to fly again.
Don’t you know those guys could teach us a thing or two!
I wonder how many of those planes are still flying or at least in existence. I know Galloping Ghost crashed in 2011 at Reno.
To see so many B-29's in formation at an air show...and now only 2 remain airworthy...kinda sad...
Buster, (Bill Brennon & Wittman's airplane) is in the National Mall Smithsonian museum.
Of the 1947 Thompson Air Race, only 2 are known to survive. Here's the fate of the entire starter field:
1) F2G-2 NX5577N/ Race Number 74 (ex-BuNo 88463): destroyed in a fatal inflight fire, September 7th 2012
2) XF2G-1 NX5590N/ Race Number 94 (ex-BuNo 14693): Scrapped post-1949.
3) P-39Q NX92848/Race Number 11 (ex-42-20869): destroyed in a fatal crash, August 10th 1968
4) P-51D NX79111/Race Number 77 (ex-44-15651): Galloping Ghost, destroyed in the September 16th 2011 Reno Air Crash
5) P-38L-5 NX21764/Race Number 3 (ex-44-53078): destroyed in a fatal crash, August 4th 1965. Some remains recovered 1990.
6) P-63A NX69901/Race Number 55 (ex-42-69063): struck off February 20th 1956 and scrapped.
- XF2G-1 NX91092/Race Number 18 (ex-BuNo 14694): Scrapped post-1949, aircraft was sold to somebody who recovered the R-4360 but had no interest for the airframe.
- A36A NX4E/Race Number 15 (ex-42-83769) : Destroyed during emergency landing after engine exploded inflight, 1947 Thompson Air Race. Aircraft was too low for pilot to bail out, but pilot survived crash uninjured.
- P-51D N37492/Race Number 37 (ex-44-63576): Survivor. Currently registered N51DH.
- F2G-1 NX5588N/Race Number 84 (ex-BuNo 88457): Destroyed in fatal crash, pilot incapacitated due to carbon monoxide poisoning, 1947 Thompson Air Race. Registration and data plate reused on 88458, a 'scrapped' F2G-1, for the 1948 and 1949 races.
- P-40Q-2A NX300B/Race Number 82 (ex-42-45722): Destroyed in crash following engine fire, 1947 Thompson Air Race. Aircraft had not qualified for the main race but pilot took own initiative and started when No.18's engine failed to start at the starter signal. Would probably have been disqualified if he had arrived.
- F-5G-6-LO NX25Y/Race Number 14 (ex-44-53254): Survivor. Currently registered N25Y, flown by Red Bull, Salzburg, Austria
- P-51C NX4914N/Race Number 34 (ex-42-103725): Destroyed during emergency landing, 1947 Thompson Air Race (shown in the above film)
@@robdonnelly6537 ... I believe those were B-17's
Yes, and they will all be crashed and destroyed if we keep flying them all. I know everyone likes to say "they sound be down and not sitting in museums", but it seems pretty selfish to me to enjoy watching them all fly at the coast of losing them all so future generations can't experience it at all.
The films are tremendous that you post…is there a possibility that you could reduce the size of the on screen timer/clock and move it to one of the corners? A lot of the footage and details are blocked from sight
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous UA-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.
Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films! Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Even a really tiny contribution can make a difference.
Cook Cleland, Cleland being a Scottish name his family must of originally came from Scotland, does anyone know?
The Pratt & Whitney 2800 double wasp had 18 cylinders. Not 28.
That Corsair was equipped with a four-row, 28-cylinder Wasp Major (P&W R-4360)
One of the ten produced super corsairs
Who is that beautiful blonde at 6:40?
