- There's nothing like hearing the spectacular sound of the Vought F4U Corsair engine up close. Here we have the Corsair starting up, taking off, and doing a low fly-by at Triple Tree Aerodrome!
If you haven't already check out our recent video where we took a closer look and talk a bit about the history of this iconic plane: • A closer look at the V...

Ah the soothing sound of a cartridge starter and a 18 cylinder Pratt and Whitney engine. I love the smell of Pratt and Whitney's in the morning.
Damn straight.
Smells like victory
My dad, Edwin Libby, put the first 2 hours on them when they came out of the Goodyear factory in Akron Ohio, where I was born in 1944.
My Father flew the F4U Corsair in WWII as a USMC aviator in the Pacific. I've got a couple of old black and white photos of him in the cockpit.
Grateful for his service. Semper fi!
If he's still living, tell him thank you for me. Truly the greatest generation.
@@michaelboykin9881 Unfortunately no... He would have been 100 today if he were still alive.
The most beautiful aircraft of WWII to my eye
There is no mistaking the sound of a radial engine. Love those old aircraft.
The F4U is poetry
Poetry, art, and emotion. The best dam girl in the sky.
Gotta love the amazing Vought F4U Corsair fighter/bomber. I lived in Grand Prairie in 1948 when Chance Vought moved into the former North American manufacturing plant there. Enjoyed watching the Corsair take offs and landings.
I'm from Grand Prairie, and I always loved the Corsair
My favorite Pacific Theater aircraft, what a beast!
Brutal tork!
I said this before including in person to Kurt Walton that somewhere high up above Pappy B is smiling down on all of Corsair lovers.
Fleet Air Arm also used these fantastic aircraft. They sorted out their problems and certified their carrier use.....one of the best.
Have never seen one. Most favorite . 2 - p47 T-Bolt and 3- C 47 . It would be neat to see even a wreck of a Coursair . I understand there are so many left of the corsair. Would like to see one before they are gone. Please keep G R Ford Airport in Grand Rapids , Michigan for a show this summer . Please consider. Thanks .
One of the most beautiful aircraft ever!
WOW!!!THE SWEET SOUND OF HISTORY!!!
This is a great vid, TY. My Dad had the tv show Baa Baa Black Sheep on one day, & I fell in love with this plane, & the show too! I could watch Robert Conrad & the Corsair 🤣 I was 14 & female 😅
Somewhere high up above Pappy Boyington is smiling down on all us sayin oh my gosh no sheet nuggets....
1:18 that shot .... what a badass airplane!
Between these and the P-51Ds, just can’t get enough!!👍👍
Finally, after waiting since I was a kid, I finally got to see a F4U Corsair not only fly but take pictures up close. I can now die a happy man! Took my kids to the Warhawk Air Museum Air Show in Nampa, ID last weekend where we saw three P-40 Warhawk's, three different P-51 Mustangs (including the Boise Bee), a P-38 Lightning, a B-25 Mitchell, some T-6's and torpedo bombers and of course the F4U Corsair. So glad I took my kids there to hear the 1940's music and watch these warbirds fly right over us.
That sounds like a blast!!
You should try the, Pensacola Naval Air museum. There are planes from WW1 and WW2 as well as some modern aircraft, such as the SR71. I took my boys back in the early 90s. We also stopped off and visited the USS Alabama, in Mobil Bay.
The startup sound of the F4U Corsair is reminiscent of a combat seasoned U.S. Marine waking at O'dark thirty before moving out to the next objective
Chilling!!!!
Pretty silly
Somewhere Greg Boyington is smiling down on all of us watching this stuff. I felt a kinship with Greg pappy when I got drafted into Iraq in 2001. I was accused of being him. I am a nonconformist sheet kicker. A man of my own style even begged to be court marshalled just like Greg did in late 1943 at the end of the war just before he was captured he had had enough. Greg I think was captured sometime early in 44 and said he just rode his days out in the prison camp because the Japanese treated him okay knowing how controversial the guy was they were not gonna abuse him that much. Upon his return from capture he told a senator I think was named Rolland to go to hell when the senator wanted to use him as campaign cow Boyington told the Senator to go sheet in his hat. In a bizarre twist Boyington insisted he had constantly been having drinks and meals with one of the Generals that ran the prison camp Yahatshi something I think was the Generals name. Boyington insisted as long as their talks began with the advancements he knew of concerning U.S. Navy war ships they then thereafter continually talked about what their endeavors would be after the war was over. Boyington said Yahatshi said it was too bad his daughter couldn't hook up with a warrior of Greg's stature. Greg wrote in his book he took it as compliment not a come on.
Drafted? Really?
The smell of the fuel and exhaust…
Nice, I’ve always loved the WW2 vintage fighter planes
Nothing quite like the sight and sound of a Corsair. Love that bird.
I once talked with a former Marine officer who flew them during the war. He called the plane a death trap. Always leaking lots of hydraulic fluid. I guess the maintenance where he was wasn't so great...
This plane in the Pacific, and the P-51 in Europe really helped us along to victory in WWII.
Majestic planes both, and a tribute to American grit and ingenuity when in really counted.
Always loved the Corsair especially as a kid who watched Baa Baa Black Sheep.
As I got older I learned about the difficulties the Corsair had with carrier landings.
Still love the plane!!
A beautiful take off and landing using flaps. Great sound, beautiful aircraft. JOB WELL DONE.
Best sounding motor ever
There had been a video that Diamond P sports had of an unspecified carrier at sea 1944 had a flock of Corsairs warming up on deck and taking off. It was that long ago it was on Beta tape early mid 1980s. I had worn that tape out to this day it is my favorite aircraft of all time and my shop & offices is smothered in model Corsairs and RC Corsairs. I am a marine black squadron A-10 pilot. Don't let em fool ya only the AF flies the A-10 that ain't true no more after Iraq. Marines have 2 black Squadrons of em 4 planes each. I flew way over 90 sorties over Iraq. The Navy disqualified me because I am color blind but that leads to other gifts like being able to read a bill board a little less than a half mile away which still blows my families minds and being able to see right thru a camo covered target and detect movement because I might be color blind but I am extremely far sighted. I can totally smoke a target 4 to 6 miles away & not even use electronic sighting. And I truly believe in my heart that Greg Pappy Boyington had my very same handicapped blessings from hearing reading stories about him. One tail of Boyington is the fact he just saw a glint of a little tiny reflection out of the corner of his eye in his canopy window went inverted straight down came back up like rocket ship and smoked a Zero that was after him with a single burst from his guns. Fantasy? No not if he had my eye sight gift not at all. I have high perf vision perception and I could have done such a thing as I am thee one thee only A-10 jock to ever have smoked a soviet made Mig over the Iraq Iran border ever. I saw a glint pulled my flaps and my speed brake jammed the throttle to nil went over on one wing saw the mig and smoked it with my gun not a rocket. The guy blew by me fired one rocket at me way too late. Then his butt was all mine. Boyington was god gifted not just a gifted pilot he had some other attributes other people regular people cannot comprehend. It was not all skill. Some of the skills were gods giftings.
How do you feel about the Hellcat and the thunderbolt? They used the same engine
Man, the Corsair has got to be the sexiest plane ever made! With the P-51 Mustang right on its tail
That flyby is amazing.
My God, what a gorgeous bird. Chokes me up!
So beautiful. We are almost not deserving enough to witness this warbird in all it's grandeur. Watching this beauty take flight makes me wish that jet propulsion was never discovered and Corsairs still ruled the air like they did back in the 1940s. I will always envy those that flew this beautiful fighter in times of belligerence as well as, 80 years later, are able to fly it now as in this video. Thank you for this upload.
I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing one of these beautiful aircraft up close at an air show one time. Amazing! Thanks for the video
😊🙏 The legendary WWII Pacific theatre Vought F4U Corsair " Whistling Death " ... Thank You So Much for making this beautifully edited & concised video for the fans & for sharing it! 🌷🌿🌍✌💜🕊
What a beautiful plane! We all talk about the P51, but this is such a great looking plane as well. So many amazing aircrafts from WWII!! The P47, P38, Bearcat and Wildcat just to name a few.
The low fly-by looks like what my dad said he did when he buzzed freight trains at night while getting flight hours in his Corsair in WWII…
The sound of an a round engine starting up sends chills up and down my spine. Always have loved that sound.🇺🇸😎
One of the HOTRODS of WW2. Love it.
Pure grace in aeronautics.
Amazing that they were able to put that big of a prop on that airframe.
Think the gull wing is how they got that big prop on them...😊
@@gmm6885 The Gull Wings was to make the landing gear shorter and stronger.
Nothing sounds as sexy as pistons and propellers. God bless Marines! 30 year Viper crew chief here, still love the sound of horsepower!
The old man fought on Okinawa. He loved the Corsair!
What a fantastic aircraft.
That was pleasant and relaxing. Always will be a cool plane.
Man I love those airplanes.
My dad used to fly a PzL-104 Wilga which also had a big radial engine, although nowhere near as powerful as the Pratt and Whitney R2800 on the Corsair. Every time we took her out I got the job of pulling the prop through 8-10 blades until the oil that had pooled in the lower cylinders had worked through the exhausts and started pouring out on the ground. Even then the start up was always loud and messy and we burned a lot of oil before it finally kicked in.
I always loved the Corsair...What an awesome fighter!! Pappy Boyington was a great aviator, with the Black Sheep squadron!
Simply beautiful, the video almost take my mind away of what a deadly machine it is.
That’s a monster with wings! Love it!
Love the sound of the R-2800 Double Wasp at idle. And the F4U is one of my favorite warbirds. I also love flying my RC model versions of them too, don't let them get too slow in the turns to approach for landing or they'll bite you, other than that they always astonish me.
The F4U Corsair is one of my favorite warbirds. This is amazing! ❤
What a beautiful sound and sight !! Thanks.
Beautiful!! The sounds and the vibrations of a radial engine is thrilling!! O miss working on aircraft.
Soo beautiful!!!
Wow! That was so cool!
Best music video ever! Even better with headphones.
Beautifully shot and edited video
pretty impressive flying, right down there on the deck!
i don't think any other aircraft has managed the astounding level of art and function that this airplane achieved. It looks alive, purposeful, magnificent. great video thank you for posting

It is a Beauty
To me, this is the F14 of WWII. Beautifully Majestic when on the Tarmac... Sinisterly Lethal in the Air.
Thank you Marine that I never heard that sound and that I’m around to hear that old Coursair crank up! Airedale Navy 4life
that is my dream, right there...
Ours too!
Thank you!
If that doesn't give up goosebumps nothing will
Beyond gorgeous.
Someone who knows how to shoot props! Good show, mate! Cheers . . .
Awesome!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That is one beast of an aircraft
Pappy's 'Cactus Air Force' beast. Semper Fi!
Pappy Boyington is a great hero!
The legend
A legend among legends!
@@TheAviatorsTV F4U what? Which variation
Magine. Being on a carrier...with a. Flight of these....warming up!
There has never been a sexier aircraft ever created and you CANNOT convince me otherwise.
Great aircraft but boy oh boy was it hard landing on the carriers!
Aren't they all!
“Hose Nose”
Only before the strut issue was corrected and the Brits figured out the proper landing approach. After that it was no harder to land than anything else.
Go Pros were not made for Corsairs landing gear.
The coolest, bad a$$, toughest looking fighter plane of WWII and even beyond into the 50's. Love🥰 the F4U Corsair.🥰
My late Dad flew Corsairs from the carrier USS Bennington (CV-20). He bombed the IJN Hyuga, at Kure harbor in late July, 1945. His wingman (Jory Jorgensen) witnessed the bombing run.
Makes my heart race when it goes by low and fast.
Those radial engines are unreal
Love it
