- The worlds only remaining flying Boeing P-26A Pea Shooter returns to the skies over Southern California for the Planes of Fame monthly flying history event for January, 2012. The very rare flight of this unique aircraft is captured (with some difficulty) in flight from the top of the tail. The aircraft prop wash overpowered the camera mounts and the video has been adjusted to preserve this flight in the best possible production.
No music while the engine is running, please.
Long live the Peashooter
Kinda want to build one of these and keep it for personal use!... No flips though. Engine carburator fluids are no joke. One barrel roll could easily be a grave mistake
Nice job editing to use the video in spite of the camera mount failure. Great to see it flying!
I didn't realize there is only one flying P26? It's such a small plane I'd have thought there were dozens. Model builders love planes with flashy paint schemes. I think the P26 and perhaps the Fokker D7 have some of the best!
There is no engine sound from an externally mounted camera on the tail of the aircraft while in flight. Only the howl of the wind. I have plans to mount a digital audio recorder in the cockpit the next time it flys.
This was filmed on January 7th, 2012 at Planes of Fame using a GoPro Hero, not a Hero II. We will eventually get a new Gopro Hero II, but the regular GP hero works well, as long as I keep it out of the prop wash. That is what happened on this video, the camera got pushed sideways in the prop wash and so the last part of the video has been adjusted to bring the visual correct to the horizon.
Would much rather have the engine and noise sounds... or at least music of the time from which this great plane was operational. Great footage though!
Next time show some ground video of it flying by and drop the music. We want to hear THE PLANE.
Nice to see a video thats a bit different than the norm. Great music as well, who is the artist?
sadly yet another great video, Killed by music. Please post one with music and one without. The music take so much out of the video. : (
Awesome!!! Thanks for posting this video!!!
It looks like one of those ancient die-cast metal toys on which the propeller would spin as you rolled it long the floor!
such a interesting way to start that beast
We use a Go Pro camera for onboard shots. The watery movement is caused by a relation between the cameras frame rate, position, and the aircraft's vibration frequencies. Each aircraft vibrates at its own frequencies and where and how the camera mounts are placed also effects the vibration seen in the video. This video is the first time we have placed a camera on the exterior of the P-26 inflight.
Very nice!
its an intertia starter :D
What a beautiful aircraft and nice video.
I'd rather hear the music made by that magnificent radial engine though.
Did your camera have a CMOS imaging system?
That may be one of the issues causing the odd "watery" movement in the video image.
I've seen it before in shots with lots of motion in the frame.
Great job though!
Cheers!
TJ,
When was this flight sequence shot?
Which model of GoPro camera was used for this flight sequence?
Is this a current model?
Cameras and their specs./capabilities are changing very rapidly. Amazing...
Great Job!
ugh music?!! please do a video with music and one with out. see how many views the one with our gets….
what song is that?
how do the guns shoot thru the propeller????
The guns on a lot of prop fighters we’re connected to the camshaft of the engine. Unbelievable as it’s sounds the bullets shot between the blades as they turned. The guns were timed to fire by the engine. I’m not sure if this plane. But lots of WWII fighters had metal props for misfires and such so they did not get damaged if they got hit.
Why did you put that music
Lady, you want me to answer you if this old airplane is safe to fly? Just how in the world do you think it got to be this old? - Anonymous
What a Beautiful Aircraft ! I Would love to have been the Pilot on that flight....
You can't even see the plane in flight from the side, in fact you can't see it on the ground either
its so cute and tiny
What's the name of the track?
Why added that shitty music.. I want to hear that radial
dig the music
The plane looks like is can be pushed with Bare hands
