You can keep your P-51s and your Supermarine Spitfires, in my book this is the most beautiful WW2 fighter plane, period. It's just a pit bull of an aircraft: compact, tough, looks mean, has a wicked bite, but has an air of grace and athleticism.
Amen Brother!
Thom gets all my respect, just flying the wings off that P40. Beautiful aircraft beautifully piloted and filmed; that 8 point roll, my God just superlative. Thanks to all involved for sharing!!! Ciao.
the P-40. the work horse of early military aviation.
The P-40N was the latest version ( lighter with more powerful engine ).
Sweet display - 8 Point roll was a ripper... The Pilot was dialed right in 👍👍👍
Love that Allison snarl.......
Astonishing the P40, the best of all!!! And the Allison engine sounds better than Merlin , Db605 and radial engines!!!
Great display. Glad to see some air shows happening over there in the midst of madness. Thanks for sharing mate 👍🏻
My favorite WW2 fighter when I was 8, and still my favorite fighter at age 61. Great lines, great sound, and built like a steel bridge. Tough airplane. I owned a 180HP Globe Swift, and the planform view of the Swift is nearly identical to the P-40. The wing shape is very nearly the same. And the Swifts were built by people who came from Curtiss-Wright after the war.
Those airframes were so ridiculously tough that this wasn't stressing that old 'bird at all. Love the 8 pointer.
Dear God, I love this plane.
Thanks AirshowStuff Awesome P-40....
Dang do I miss airshows. Can't wait for the return of the Planes of Fame Airshow in October!
We are hoping to be there too!
Nice..
Cool plane.
Such a beautiful airplane that deserves a better reputation. All you hear about its history is what it did in China. The German troops in Africa hated them. They were the best ground support aircraft of their day, and a fast bomber. They could out dive any of the German aircraft, British Aircraft, and most of the American ones. For most of WWII they held the dive record at 600 mph.
And in the Pacific with the Australian and New Zealand Airforces.
I've seen a Curtiss Kittyhawk at an English airshow, and it sounded remarkably similar to the Warhawk in this video. Are Kittyhawks and Warhawks the same aircraft?
Yes they are
You’re correct! Same aircraft slightly different variants. If I remember correctly P-40B & Cs here, were British Tomahawk MKII’s. P-40D,E, & F here, were named the Kittyhawk mkI, mkIA, and mkII over there.
Esse magnífico avião, resultado de uma filosofia, baseada na defesa do território dos USA , de fato não tinha desempenho em Altitude s . Mas durante os anos difíceis da guerra lutou com bravura. E seu desempenho foi muito superior, ao que é difundido.
Who was the Pilot? Could've given the story behind him.
👏👏👌👍👍
De que país es?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Es de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, utilizado durante los primeros años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Ya para 1943 había mejores y más potentes aviones de combate aunque el P-40 se siguió utilizando.
Hello
Allison
Favorite warbird... 😎
This aircraft was part of the AVG in 1945 where japan invaded China and that the flying tigers was inaugurated by a commander named lieutenant Clare Chennault
Remember Pappy Boyington? He flew with them I think.
April 1941 - 4 July 1942
❤️🫶😍
I’m surprised that the landing gears are still working (jk, cuz this is a very old plane)
Its been restored !!! DUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
