Is that replica full scale? Or was the real airplane that small? Beautiful design and replica.

I think Germany bought one of Hughes planes took it apart to study and then used that in their fighter planes.

Love the Rare Bear! Lyle Shelton, quite a hero he is. He's buried here in my little town. My daddy's name was Shelton. His girl/partner hung herself here. God Bless their souls. Chick Clark used to run largest flying (spraying) service in the world at one time. He knew Lyle also.

Too late for WWWll. Would it have made a food fighter? Built for speed not payloads or maneuverability?

Seems a lot slower than Hughes who clocked 352 MPH.

Thank you for posting.

Dago red was the fastest around the course

Love your videos man, wish I had made it out to Reno

Doesn't look like you can see anything taking off. Makes me think of that ZZTop song Driving While Blind.

It is clear, in hindsight, to see that this is where high-performance military aircraft were going to be in a few year's time. Hughes had Vision. He saw Ahead. He dreamed some amazing things into being, which often seemed likobjects from the near future. Which, in many ways, they were. Vought F4U Corsair, Grumman F6F Hellcat, Föcke-Wulf FW190, etc., all seem like branches of the same tree. Take a big-ass 2-row radial and work your way back, while considering the purpose of the aircraft. I love the H1 for it's purpose, which was, essentially, to be (your choice of expletive) fast, which led to such a pure, elemental shape. It's everything it has to be , and nothing it doesn't. The polished aluminium enhances the shape. If I'd have been one of the highly skilled individuals who built this aircraft, I'd be proud of my work. An unrepeatable, outrageous, breathtaking work of engineering, and an exquisite work of functioning art.

That thing seems to never lose any energy!

Still breaks my heart as to the demise of Jim wright and his H1

Just look at 1:47, where the the takeoff roll starts as it just starts to blow past the perfect harmony of prop-speed and airspeed synch in that tone that just penetrates your whole neurology, no?

Makes that classic airplane sound.

Highly maneuverable aircraft.Even though it lacked proper armor plating and self sealing fuel tanks. It was a nemesis to America at the beginning of WW2. Till America produced better aircraft. I beleive I heard Japanese pilots had to stand up in the cockpit at take off.

How do I fly in re-enactments like this?

I swear I got the same video as you did 😅 I also was there that morning at reno

Awesome machine. 471 mph lap time is a vast improvement over the stock warbird, but shows the excellence of both the engine and aircraft design.

So smooth..

I wish I could have met howard hughes. I was 5 when he died

What is with the Evan. from the tail?

wow! many thanks. glad i stumbled on to this video.

Did mr.Wright build the short “race wing”, or the longer “ferry wing” or both with interchangeable wings?

Is this a scale rendition? I thought the original was somewhat larger.

Japanese aircraft were beautiful during that era. Especially considering that Japan had only recently began to industrialise. Brilliant engineering.

2:31 ❤❤❤

I remember this oh so well, Can’t say I feel sorry For Jimmy Leeward, I have to say it even after all this time, His Arrogance cost 10 Innocent lives to be lost and 69 Ppl Injured. That’s the SAD PART.

that’s not a p51 next to the 190??

I remember many early Sunday mornings at Reno walking in from the parking lot and hearing and seeing Strega takeoff only to seeing everyone around me and including myself start to run to the stands. The excitement was unbelievable, but you felt it.

５２型はどのアングルで見ても美しい。外観はほぼオリジナル。 ここまでコンディションを保ってくれるアメリカに、本当に感謝です。

Just sexy!

Holy fuck. . . shit was real back then. . . I was a kid, but WOW seeing it now compared to what they (call the races)

Hell ya!!! SEMPER FI!!! So bad ass

熱帯魚みたいですね。

Slow roll rate? Big moment of inertia I guess. Still a great show.

Damn that bird sounded badass. Fuck V-12s. That V-8 sounded insane.

On Fly Bys, it's obvious which P-47s have the COMPLETE Turbo-Supercharging system hooked up. They have a LOT louder (& macho) rap to the exhaust. Paul Allen's group in Everett, WA spends the extra dough to keep the Turbo working. It's capable of going over 40,000 ft.

The Japanese plane that participated in World War II is the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, also known as the "Zeke" by Allied intelligence². They were designed by the famous aircraft designer Jiro Horikoshi. The aircraft was exceptionally fast and agile, allowing Japanese pilots to outperform older Allied aircraft, and had a long range suitable for the Pacific theater of operations².🇮🇶🌹🙏🇯🇵

Very truly and amazingly well done!! My hat is off in honor, to the people who were involved with this project! The pilot was fantastically professional.. A true joy to watch.. :) I could only imagine how exilerating it is to fly that iconic piece of history! The need for SPEED! I love it! 🤓

Wow! Fantastic.😍

that plane makes the people look like minifigures

That is really impressive, especially considering the age of the design! Still sad about his crash and death returning from Oshkosh...

Most beautiful warplane EVER ❤❤❤❤ ) Thank YOU!

WHAT WAS THE FAA CONCLUSION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH? ANYONE RECALL?

😮スピナーでかい。

空冷エンジンサイコー!

Nice sound

I love that you’re still doing this - I last year was my first time and despite how it ended I’m so glad I went. It may not have had some of the big names but I’m eternally grateful to you for preserving these priceless videos. So, almost 20yr later…what was the story with Big Bossman’s exhaust?😮

The sound of that prop is beautiful

Why not a Japanese pilot flying the Zero?
