Definitely a sad day…

Thanks for watching and commenting👍

It was a bit late to the Game - it didn't see any action in WW2

You can check the previous short in my channel to see the same nesting hole with a parent GHO - they are owlets, so they won't look like the adult GHO for another 3 weeks, but they are indeed Great Horned Owls.

Much appreciated

The cannon fired through the engine block and the propellor shaft, so the cannon itself I wouldn't think would be of considerable weight to compensate. I'm not sure of the specifics with this plane but it does now have me wanting to ask when I'm up there in the museum next.

Were you at the event or just catching it outside the airport? Either way - glad you got to see Fatal Fang in the air and thanks for viewing

@@ptdphotos I was at the event, enjoyed some bbq and and listened to the guest speakers....

@pablocortes6950 glad you attended! I'm a volunteer there and always happy to see their events well attended and liked

@@ptdphotos Thnx for volunteering, keeping history alive!!

Just one update, this is actually the Kingcobra

Oops! Ok. Got it . King Cobra. I missed that. Darn! Darn! Thanks.😄👍

@@ptdphotos From George. I have many models of this Aircraft two scales 1/48 and three 1/32. One out of the three I'll be doing an Australian Airforce version.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️from Down Under.

Yanks Air did a great job restoring this one.

Thanks for watching!

yes, it is airworthy and took the skies that day and the day before. Not sure on certificate info, but it went airworthy back in 10/23 I believe and this was the museum highlighting it at an event to showcase Fatal Fang.

@@ptdphotos Ouch. Begs the question of where are the videos of the flying ?

@happyhome41 I'm just a volunteer for the museum, so not into the nitty-gritty of the workings around certs. No conspiracy, the question of flying videos you can find checking out Instagram from those that captured it mostly from their phones. The light sucked hard that day and I wasn't happy with what I captured to include it.

@@ptdphotos MUCH appreciated. Thank you !

One of a handful of interesting designs with that plane

👍🤣

The engine being placed behind the cockpit certainly helps too.

​@@john236613 Also you get in through side doors instead of a canopy.😂

@@sdhubbard yeah, like a car lol

That it is!

P-63

Nope - it is a P-63

P-63 Kingcobra.

Eastern Europe maybe. The P-63 wasn't better than the P-51, so they got sent to the USSR.

Thanks. This is actually a P-63 Kingcobra. An evolution from the P-39 Airacobra

@@ptdphotos I think so, but I was not sure. Airacobra or Kingcobra?

That plane is great to be up close to and hear the engine, I'm glad they finally completed the restoration

Thank you for adding to my view and comment count numbers

I'd much have preferred catching it at a more head on angle, but the way these events are setup at that museum there is limited choice on your angles to capture from the crowd area

@@ptdphotos Your angle was fine. The pilot or the ground crew left the tailwheel turned 90 degrees off the centerline, so with first movement, the tail swung out. Not a big deal, but I prefer to start off aligned.

But they never saw combat…..P -51s saw combat in Europe….lots of it….P-51s could fly 1000 mi with drop tanks…at 41,000 ft….good thing Germany didn’t have fuel for ME 262…we all know how that turned out….all the prop planes in WW2 were awesome….again…sexy as hell..😊

@paulciprus9582 They raced and save the p51 propaganda for someone who might Have believed actually never did. Thanks

*Mustangs did what no other WWII plane could do* *Destroy the German Air Force*

@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8 Bombed strafed, multiple targets and the Hard Won Air Supremacy before breakfast? You're always good for a laugh. P51 was an escort fighter in the Pacific exclusively. You knew that already.

@@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8 Deh Deh Deh! ! !
