- Congratulations to 2017 Reno Air Race Unlimited Gold Winner Jay Consalvi. Back in 2010 we interviewed Jay for the "Let's Go to the Reno Air Races" video DVD where he was at PRS flying the Corsair and getting qualified to race. Jay's excitement about flying the Corsair is great and translates to all pilots that have been fortunate to fly one of their "dream" airplanes. Fast-Forward to 2016 where Jay was the top rookie and now to 2017 bringing home the win in Tiger Destefani's #7 Strega.

Thank you for posting.
My father flew the Corsairs in the South Pacific during WWII. He was with VFM 314. He loved flying this plane
Thanks for sharing this with us my late Father was in the 2nd Air Wing USMC in WW2. When I see a Corsair I think of him. God Bless our veterans. 🇺🇲
Whhhat? A 13' 2" tip to tip prop?
👍😎👍♥️
Flashbacks to Baa baa blacksheep/Blacksheep Squadron.

Oh, the retractable tail wheel.
Fawsome.
Whistling while working🙂
My Dad was on the Wasp CV-18 at the tail end of the War AMM3C , said those Corsairs were really tough to land on the carriers, couldn’t see over the nose and really short final. Bitch to land on a carrier. Hellcat was a breeze compared to the Corsair. God bless all the Remaining WW2 vets. My dad is 95 and still going strong. His name is Chris Feil from Chicago. God Bless America.
Extraordinary wonderful the sound still gives me goose bumps! Thanks for posting.
When I was a young Marine still pretty new to the fleet (2000) I caught guard duty for the 50th anniversary of the Korea War at Camp Pendleton CA. They had all kinds of Navy and Marine equipment and vehicles and on the last day I saw 3 F4u Corsair 's from Miramar fly in formation for all the Korean War vets and spectators. I absolutely ate it up being a Aviation buff and Navy & Marine aviation enthusiast. They sounded so beautiful and I'll never forget that experience. Thank you for the great video!
The Corsair is a thing of beauty
? Have you looked at the tail lately ?
THANK YOU! Mark &Jay I hope to see ya next year to sick this year,I just caught the last 2 races from the parking lot on Sunday. Strega again for the win. A Renoite!
My favorite WWII warbird! Love the Corsair!
Plane is a beaut and absolutely love that duramax that's pulling it around!
It was about 1965 Compton, California Wilmington Blvd I was 12 years old on my way to school, and they're sitting a BIG BLACK AIRPLANE, and I mean big just like the one in the video - an F4U Corsair; it is number #1 of all warbird to me then comes to the P51 Mustang second to none.
The Corsair is something, indeed..!
The corsair looks kind of goofy on the ground. But in the air she's a foxy flyer, looks totally at Home like when a seal takes to the water and is perfectly adapted. Engineering is often at its best when it mimics nature. A joy to watch tq.
what a beautiful machine
My favorite with a prop and the tomcat as jet you are living my dream
Win or lose, I so love to watch that bird fly and pull those turns with wings on edge.
My favourite plane as well
hes from a great documentary called 'speed and angels'
I saw 1 in Kalispell Montana six years ago.
the old warbirds still are cool today - we can only guess how fliers felt about them some 80 years ago
Nice! Can someone tell me what's the name of the color (blue) the NAVY used on this airplanes? Thanks.
Cute plane ❤🛩
We would..!!

5:55 even with the weird proportions this chunky boi still looks good.
It’s aircraft like this…the warbirds, that are the reason I go to the Reno Air Races…. When these things fire up ……. I mean there’s nothing like it !
True story 😎
Next ..,is an aerospace!!
60 miles from my house
This video is edited all wrong. Love the Corsair though. Outstanding aircraft.
the F4U was the fastest prop plane built in WW2
Yes it was. It could reach speeds up to 500 mph easily. They could maneuver just as well as they were fast. They were very durable, and could take an unbelievable amount of damage. They have always been my favorite piston fighter of all time.
I thought Jugs were
No it was not -

No, it isn't. The fastest fighter of WW-2 was the Messerschmit ME-163 Komet rocket fighter, with a top speed of just over 600 MPH. The highest top speed recorded for the Corsair was 445 MPH, and that was the "Dash 4" version. The Super Corsair was even faster, but, that was at low level.
hughes2397 No, the Corsair, just like all wartime prop fighters, wasn't able to hit 500 MPH, because of the aerodynamic limitations of the prop. Instead, the highest top speed obtained by the Corsair was 470 MPH at low level, but, at high altitude, the F2G was slower than the F4U-4, and the Postwar "Dash 5" did top out around 460 to 470 MPH.
Nice video! However, the pilot was way off on the total number of airworthy Corsairs, there's a total of 32 known flyable examples found here in the States, Britan, Canada, Austria, France, and Australia, not 19, like he said. Today, that number has increased by two: One, owned by the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum, and another one owned by the Flying Heritage Collection, which raises the total to: 34.
John, thanks for the update on this. The original interview was done many years ago so that may account for the difference in the #'s.
