The Bell P-63 Kingcobra, born during World War II, stands as a testament to American engineering and wartime innovation. Derived from the earlier P-39 Airacobra, the P-63 boasted enhancements in design and performance. Its sleek lines housed an Allison V-1710 engine, propelling it to speeds of up to 386 mph. Although overshadowed by other fighters, the P-63 found unexpected fame with the Soviet Air Force, where it played a crucial role along the Eastern Front. Today, this lesser-known warbird deserves recognition for its resilience and impact during a critical period in history

A true classic warbird. She's looking great.
Yanks Air did a great job restoring this one.
Awesome airplane. Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for watching!
Is this flight worthy ? The FAA registry shows a one-month certificate between September and October 2023. What’s going on ? Enquiring minds want to know.
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 !
Do you have to put some weights in the nose? My under standing was that this plane was designed around a 37mm cannon, so if you took that out and didn't replace it with any thing, it'd move the plane's center of mass backwards.
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.
American engineering might.
The Russians used these very effectively as ground attack as they were literally no match for modern fighters.
Easy prey for the zero.
