FG-1D Corsair flight January 2009 (long version)

A WWII vintage FG-1D Corsair (commonly known as F4U) flying out of the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The FG-1D was manufactured by Goodyear rather than Chance Vought who designed the aircraft. The longer version of the video has more of the start-up procedure & taxi time.

Beautiful sound l had a privilege to restore a static FG-1 1945 Corsair for a museum .Where the hanger for the Corsair is in Vought Sikorsky manufacturing plant of where it was designed , tested, produced. The manufacturer plant is still standing.

Beautiful. I didn't know the rudder moved in the opposite direction of the tailwheel on these planes.

The old classic warbirds seem to be living, breathing machines.

Großartiges Kampfflugzeug !

[@timmayer8723]

A few of these monsters had the Pratt & Whitney R- 4360 radial, 3000 hp gobs of torque.

[@yamahonkawazuki]

Ohhh my. ... listen to the radial symphony. the ol girl was showin she stll got it. and cruises with style.

[@vettevet2002]

thought the wings always folded/unfolded one at a time, obstensively due to pressure variations in the hydraulics; nice gentle first flight, but didn't these things whistle like P-51s?

GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY HISTORY!!!

Never seen anyone climb into cockpit from the right side.

Красивый самолёт.

[@oglucifer9234]

The aircraft itself just needed to take a leak that is what that is

[@jasonjanise]

Nice video. Would be better without all the pop ups.

[@kellyreim6627]

Gotta wind up the rubber band.

[@mara235]

Looks like a bit much oil in the mix - great plane though!!
