My father was a mechanic for these monsters in WWII. The Corsair had the longest active service lifespan of any World War II fighter: 11 years. It’s also credited with shooting down a MIG-15 jet in Korea. It was last used by Honduras up until 1969.
Always nice to know these things from a real source. I'd love for someone who was a mechanic to tell all the tales that came with these fantastic machines. My personal favorite is the P-47 Thunderbolt, loved by pilots and their loved ones because of their extremely high survival rate. That was in part because like the modern A-10 Warthog (Thunderbolt) it can remain air worthy even when half the beast has been blown away (a little hyperbole here, but I've seen a movie shot from a P-47's cockpit attacking a nazi convoy and you could see bits of engines beeing blown off and the airplane obviously continuing to fly!).
Please thank your father for his selfless service..... we are all more free than ever, because of it.....
Do you like these VOUGHT F4U CORSAIR Starts ? :)
Yes!
The power of the round sound.
I was at a small airshow at the Hampton Roads airport KPVG around 2003. My son was in a stroller as I was walking around looking at the flight line. There was a C47,F4U,P51 and a Skyraider there. I was walking by a Vet wearing a Navy WW2 hat as the big Skyraider was starting. He said bring that boy over here and let him smell the smoke from that round engine! He will never forget it!
Yes a million times over
Had several eargasms. Thank you. :)
I had a chance to be around a gathering of war birds in California in the 70's . Stood in front of a F4U4 Corsair during a start up, it was very impressive, sounded like a hundred Harley Davidson's starting up at once ! Got your heart pumping and a really big smile on my face !
Love the sounds of the corsair's engines,even more impressive in person.
It's great that so many are still flying 75 years after WWII.
Those big radials give me chills.... beautiful music to my ears!!!!!!...
And how. To me, this is exactly how a plane is supposed to sound.
I’m getting a little misty eyed watching these old masters “say hello “
When I was a child, I saw a Corsair from 80s TV series Airwolf, since then I became a big fan of this gorgeous bent wing plane. Love the sound too!
All of the birds on the vid were using inertial starters, all of the early models of F4U had the coffman starter system. The infamous shotgun shell starter from the movie "flight of the Phoenix"
“That’s one!”
That's interesting, thanks. The scene is so exciting and full of aggression between James Stewart and Hardy Krüger, and Richard Attenborough has tears of joy when the engine starts with the very last cartridge ... Even though I've seen the scene many times, it is always nerve-wracking whether the engine is starts or not. An incredibly good film with very good actors. Unfortunately, a pilot was killed while filming.
My favorite WW2 fighter plane, saw service in several nation's up thru the 1960's, a hellva aircraft.
North-American birds that were made for WW2 were incredibly serviceable on a mere field. A Corsair would have been manageable by many countries with modest means, as opposed to modern stuff that cost billions to buy, fly, service and repair.
“We are poor little lambs, who have lost our way...” Many thanks for the great video!
Yes I love these old airplanes especially the Corsair P 38P 47 thunderbolt P 51 Mustang call P 40 flying tiger hellcats Bearcats Wildcats I love all these old airplanes like I love playing as far I cannot fly but I can play guitar but these are my hobbies loving all World War II airplanes and playing guitar 🎸 CZcams makes me happy with all the cool stuff they put on here with guitar stuff and airplane stuff Love it much 🎸✈️👍👍❤️☮️😎
I had an uncle through marriage who was a Corsair pilot in the Pacific in world war II. Once he told me that he was strafing ground targets and was hit by Japanese anti aircraft fire. The Corsair ran very rough and at first he thought of ditching. But he was able to fly to an island called Green Island (where Richard Nixon incidentally was stationed during the war) and was able to make an emergency landing there. After landing it was discovered that two of the cylinders were shot out on that corsair's engine. But it's still got him to land. He was a career naval officer and did not retire until the early 1970s I believe. He was my aunt's second husband. Both long gone now. So a salute to the Corsair fighter and to my uncle Stan Schold. My father also took pilot training during the war with the army Air Force but flunked out. His name was Louis Greenberg and he became a supply sergeant in the 20th Air Force supplying the b-29s on Guam before their missions. Great Men of a great generation all..... Anyway thanks for the video. I much prefer the sound of piston engine aircraft to that of jet turbines.
What a beast of an engine amazing startup I love listening to those engine startup when they're cold lots of horsepower
Love the way it lopes as all 18 come to life!!!
Still one of the coolest looking fighters ever built.
You know the gullwings were necessary because of the enormous length of propellers! Without the gullwings the props would clamber the ground!ha! True!
Il ne pouvait pas rouler en ligne droite sur le taxiway sinon le pilote ne savais pas où il était sur celui-ci...

Q
I probably don’t have to say this but I agree!
Such a beautiful warbird
Thanks 😉
always special to me... my grandmother helped build these
Nice to see my clip made the cut!
Fantastic planes!!
A thing of beauty and sound!
The second aircraft belongs to Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, CA. It is a F4U-1 and has combat history plus it is most likely the oldest Corsair flying.
First time I ever saw a Corsair for real was at a small airshow. The guy came flying by in a hard left bank. I heard the rumble from that huge engine and prop and I was hooked!!!
It is #1 to me; I saw one sitting pretty 1965 Compton, California, USA.
Yep...hands down my all time favorite WW 2 fighter !
Just a Monster of a Motor...
Heard 2 of them crank up in Honduras in 1970. They were the fighters for the Honduras AF at the time. They warmed up & took off in formation to go strafe targets in Salvador who they were at war with at the time. Will never forget that adventure!
Beautiful plane.
Love these plans..
My dad was in the South Pacific..with VFM 314
Did not talk about the war.
He did talk about flying this beautiful plan
I totally love watching these old military warbirds, Corsair, Skyraider, SBD Dauntless, Wildcat, TBM Avenger, Hellcat, and other Navy planes.
Omg, what a spectacular creation !
That bird starts faster than I do in the morning....
Those poor old starter motors! You can feel their pain before the engine finally catches...... So sweet the sound!
F4U is one of the few best-looking warbirds of WWII. My second choice is the Spitfire.
One of the top best-looking planes ever created.
R2800 Pratt & Whitney best radial engine ever produced.
Fantastic sound or good music!
Sounds of freedom.
both my maternal grandfather and my paternal grandfather were pilots during ww2 one flew corsairs and the other flew p38 lightnings (they used to have the GREATEST ARGUMENTS EVER about which was the better fighter
Kind of like starting my lawnmower for the first time in the spring if my lawnmower had an old Harley Davidson engine.
Great plane my grandfather saw these and spitfire planes while on the uss wasp.cv7
Fantastisches und Wunderschönes Super-Kampfflugzeug,so hätte die 2.Generation der deutschen Stuka aussehen müssen, da wäre kein Auge trocken geblieben, weder bei Freund und Feind.
My favorite ww2 prop is the p-47 but the corsair is definitely top 5 for me
Un engin légendaire hyper top.👍🏼🤍
My dad used to fly those off the Enterprise 1948 Korean War😎💞💞💞💞
Love the sound of WW2 warbirds it's like music to the ears🎼🎵🎶
Amen! My grandpa worked on corsairs in WWII
Was it not the Corsair that the Japanese soldiers nicknamed "Whistling Death"?
@@recoveringbaptist2749 yes it was, and for good reason
Hello GOOD EVENING THANK YOU FOR BEING BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU FOR BEING WONDERFUL THE GREATNESS IN YOU IS BEAUTIFUL. GOODNIGHT
love this plane, Whistling Death
How I wish I was there. Greetings from Argentina.
That is a definitely a beautiful sound to hear the engine startup if you really would like to make your boring video interesting release the parking brake and give it Full Throttle I'll watch it over and over and over.
4:02 it lagging lol
Wish I was rich I would love to have one of these
18 cylinders, 2000 horsepower, oh yes.
Rare when they combust fire
Excellent video & love the sound of those R-2800 radial engines!!
Coughing up smoke at the beginning too
@@clearcreek69 Yes indeed and afterwards music to my ears!
@@JackFlemingFan1 It would've been great if those corsairs took to the air in formation, & performed a flyby. Black Sheep Squadron comes to mind
@@clearcreek69 This surely would have been a sight to behold see those F4U's flying in formation!
Between a mustang or a corsair ,cold start UUUMMM
The bent wing bastard, my favorite!
What was the difference between a 3 blade and the forbade is it engine type or just a different pitch angles and configuration of blades
In many ways, this was like the muscle car era, but way before its time. Stuff a huge engine in the smallest frame.
This is what the muscle car era was born from...young pilots coming back from war, flying the fastest machines in the world and living with death every day...the adrenaline rush was unimaginable ...hence, when they came back home, they put all that aeronautical knowledge of speed and power to use in the engines they had at the time, mainly flathead ford v-8's..and built hot rods around them...and went racing...
Officers don’t know how to turn a wrench
It's hard to believe they'd even fly with the wings all folded up like that
Aerodynamics of these old birds were pretty optimum: They were 100% analog, hence "human". Jet fighter airplanes have been unflyable for ages since a computer is a must if you want these contraptions to stay in the air. On an airplane carrier the pilot must show he's not touching the controls before take-off 'cos the computer does the taking off, not the human.
Из всех американских самолетов 2 мировой мне Корсар больше всех нравится ,красавец)
I saw one a few years back and when I waved at the pilot he reciprocated by giving me a wing wave and flying over me again. A very nice memory indeed. I hate, abhore modern war machines because there is zero reason for anyone to go to war today, and the fact that they are so much more deadly, fast, expensive and generally make noises that are unbearable to withstand, like those you need ear plugs for (and it's not enough) when you're a few hundred feet from a modern race track.
Интересный аппарат,как питичка расправляет крылья.
Yup, hands down the best WWII American warbird 🇺🇸
I use to watch the Black Sheep on TV and loved these birds. I've often wondered why some had 3 blades and others had 4? Was it change in year production, or an aftermarket change by the current owners?
More a modification done during production during the war. I suppose your first statement is correct, although anything could have happened to these planes in the 70+ years they've been around. Guess that means your right both times? Just look up f4u-4 on Google, 3 blades or 4, still a Corsair to me! Hope you find out what your looking for.
@@jettfastballs Thanks! I'm 67, so everything about these planes I've seen in movies and TV. I never knew much about specs or revisions.
So far as i know the later series Corsair had 4 bladed props because of their more powerful engines.
Some are colder than others.... lol. But thats how a radial enegen run it takes a minute to get all the celendars to fire.
What does the f for you stand for!!lol😁😁🤣
That first one with the 4bladed prop is really late WW2 or between 45 and 50. They had more powerful engines,don't know if they were bigger or just higher horsepower. That's the more they used in Korea.
Same with the red bull bird.
@@johnklatt3522 Really!? The red bull plane is a banana republic vet!?? That's cool!!!
I like antique planes verses static museum dust collectors can’t hear em planes are meant to fly.
AGREED
I don't feel that bad now when I try to do a hot start on my c177rg
War Birds.🗽🗽🗽👍👍👍
Interesting! I read somewhere that the gull wing of the F4U also had aerodynamic advantages because of the right angle of the wing base to the fuselage. The plane was designed for maximum speed.
I have a plastic model of an F4U, without NAVY lettering, in dark blue-gray color, with a three-bladed propeller and all exhausts are on the bottom, none on the sides (like 3:02), and on this model there is a window under the pilot's seat. I would be interested to know whether all F4U had such a viewing window, probably so that the pilot has a better view when landing? I've never read anything about this very unique detail.
@@johnklatt3522 Wow, that's interesting information! Thank you very much! I've never heard of these anti-aircraft bombs, amazing! The prototype XF4U-1 had a raindrop-shaped belly window, later it was rectangular, like in my model. The belly window was installed in other F4U types for a while, even without the anti-aircraft bombs, which is also interesting. Thanks again for the links too!
@@johnklatt3522 This is a very beautiful picture! Thank you! This is exactly what my model looks like, except that it is painted with number 82. The V-shaped braces are also there. So this is an F4U-1A, it's good that I know that, that's interesting. The downward-going exhausts can be clearly seen in the picture. In no way did I want to criticize the fact that the belly window on the drawing was teardrop-shaped instead of rectangular. What I particularly like about the F4U Corsair is the huge propeller with a diameter of 4.02 meters! (Sorry about the metric.) According to one of my books, this is the largest propeller of all fighter planes. Even the B-17 bomber has propellers "only" 3.50 meters in diameter. Years ago I saw an F4U Corsair flying together with a Spitfire and a P-51 Mustang at an air show on the airfield where I live, which was very impressive! 🤩 When you consider these vintage planes aren't even flown at full throttle. At the end of the air show, a B-17 Flying Fortress was still turning at low altitude, but it did not land on the small airfield. Thanks for the valuable information.
This is my America.
Interesting that some have 3 bladed propellers while others have 4.
Variations depending on the model and what year they were made. Corsairs were the longest produced prop driven fighter in our history.
The three bladed fan is latter. They may also be FG-1D's(Goodyear Produced). My dad ended up WWII running Goodyear Aircrafts while being USNR. He was also in charge of building 17 F2G's ( R4360)
Early models like all F4u-1s had three bladed units. F4U-4s and later had four blades, probably due to the increased horsepower of later R-2800s and the increased prop-to-ground clearance of the shorter blades, making carrier landings less dangerous.
How many was yelling adjust the fuel mixture on the first one?
LOL,I know what you mean. I was thinking the same thing.😂😂😂😂
4:22 Love to see those two in a dogfight. Corsair vs. P-51D. My money would be on the Mustang, but the Corsair would be a tough kill. That baby could take a ton of hits and keep flying.
Take a look at the history of Football War. It seems like the Corsair gets the kill!
Throw in a bear cat and a hawker sea fury and make it a free for all. Best bird live👍🏻🇺🇸

You can hear the cylinders start firing as it warms up.
Skipper?
Where are you from guys ? :)
Him from upstate New York not the city and not Albany We keep it real and we keep it fun North country wild
Hello, Italy here. Big fan of any kind of vintage plane with piston engines (sorry but jets seem to be big flying stove pipes...), plus vintage cars (GTs from '50s '60s and '70s and Group-B), train engines (ever seen the Napier Deltic?), powerboat engines...
Kansas here, Wichita area. WW2 aircraft dominated our interests during that war and as a child, was an enthused participant in what looked to be our future.
God damn beautiful aircraft.
Uzoyu çok ismisler egericmeselerdi. İlk çağa biraz yakladirlardi! Ama biraz gerisinde kaldılar eh ilerde belki ni umut...
4 blade prop or what?
Skipper go
Love the Corsair, but NONE of these people ( only a few ) know how to start these radials! They may know how to fly them, but if they were on enemy ground and needed to take off quickly ( like in baa baa black sheep) they be strafed and shot up because it took to long to start the engine!
Bad. Ass.
Than kinh
I did awalk around of one. They are big. The engine is. Huge but the cockpit is tight. My father did engine runs on them. He told me you couldn't slam the throttles as the engine torque could flip the plane on it's back.
The P 51 Mustang Was A More Sleek Looking Aircraft !!!!!
F. G. D.
I noticed that some of the aircraft had 4 bladed props, while others had 3 bladed props. Can somebody explain the difference to me?
Sure, I'll explain. The 3 bladed props have 3 blades while the 4 bladed props have, you guessed it 4 blades. LMAO
"completely blocked the pilot's line of sight" is a bit much, it's also not the only statement like that in the video, idk who wrote the text, but they should do a bit more research before making such assertive claims
Đông cơ giống máy xay xác rách
Sixteen foot diameter propeller!
Montré pas ces images à hidalgo elle va faire une crise d urtiquaire direct
Whistling death.
Red bull painted on that third one is disgusting
Agreed.
these airplanes are expensive to maintain and fly...sponsors pay a lot of $$$ to see their logo...without it, some of these planes would never even be able to start for lack of money to buy gas..
@@MDRM68 You're absolutely right, they do take $$ and skilled maintenance. There are numerous collectors and foundations who have them who do not spell their enterprise in such an obvious glorification of a product as Red Bull has done. It's a kind of defamation to the character of the airplane's history but to some, it's just another trendy thing to hoot and holler about.
Come for beautiful plane, see ignorant comments
