    Beautiful and scary at the same time. I can just imagine how terrifying it must have been in ww2 to hear enemy planes in the sky above your head. The sound of a bombing squadron with all its supporting fighters.

    Seeing and hearing these planes scream through the sky, knowing they're well over 80 years old brings a tear to my eye, that there are people out there that respect history and keep these planes in running condition for generations to see. Just beautiful!!

      Who gave this thumbs down?. Pilots risked their lives flying these planes. Show some respect. Most or all of them were 18 or20 yrs old at the time. Could you believe that?. Read history of WW2. Bomber crews were the same age. My Dad was 22 when he was drafted in WW2 , 1942. He joined the Marines. Got out in 1945, at the age of 25. Then he met, and married my Mom.The rest is history. So, please show some respect.

      Back around 1960, shortly after I started working at the 167 Fighter Squadron, WV ANG, I helped work on a P-51 that belonged to a weather modification company. The pilot did a lot of the maintenance and being an avionics technician (radio repairman back then), I primarily helped him obtain and maintain electronics. He was going to take me for a ride but the day we were supposed to fly the radiator sprung a massive leak during a run up. I sure was disappointed.

    I am one of the fortunate few that have had a Corsair attack several times and lived to tell the tale. In the 1970s & early 80s I lived in Tallulah, Louisiana where my flying friend Merele Gustafsen owned a T-6 and a Corsair. I once flew his T-6 but that Corsair would return from airshows many weekends where Merele would buzz us at Scott Field straight for our faces passing in front of us just barely 8 feet off the deck at 350+ mph and then pull up abruptly leaving trails off his wingtips as he climbed heavenly in a barrel roll and put the gear down inverted which was his trade mark. The sounds were just undescribable. Trust me, know one would want to be on the receiving end of a Corsair strafing run.

      You CAN buy the DVD because we have an NTSC version which will play in your player connected to your TV system (just selective NTSC or PAL option when you purchase). In fact we have NTSC versions of the majority of our DVDs, and most of them also feature a second audio track which means you can turn the narration OFF, and just listen to the sound of the aircraft. We're STILL trying to find any other producer of aviation DVDs who have used this capability of DVD disks to provide this great feature to viewers. Sadly it appears that no-one else understands the music that is the aero-engine. See our website: www.aviationfilm.com

      The Mitsubishi Zero was so fragile that even .30 cal machine guns would tear it into pieces. That's the price Jiro Horikoshi has paid in exchange of long range, firepower and maneuverability.

    This was really great. I especially enjoyed the Curtis P40 because I had a Testor's U-control model of this airplane as a kid in the 1960s also because I read and learned about Claire Chenault and his Flying Tigers defending the construction of the Burmese Highway prior to the USA entering WW2. The Spitfire produced the best flight sounds to my surprise. I would have expected the Corsair to sound best.

    • @MarsFKA

      @@emersoncaicedo3146 There is, however, a Mark XIV Spitfire now based at Omaka, where a lot of the scenes in this video were shot. It was brought into New Zealand in the mid-1990s by Tim Wallace at Wanaka. In January 1996 the Spitfire crashed on takeoff at Wanaka and was badly damaged. It passed through different hands until it wound up at Ardmore air field in - I think - 1997, where it was eventually repaired and made its first public appearance at the Classic Fighters air show 2015. Fully restored, it made a twenty minute test flight at Ardmore on the Thursday before the air show, then flew down to Omaka late on Friday. Next morning, when we walked in for the day's activities, we saw *three* Spitfires lined up - something that had not been seen south of the equator for more than sixty years.
      Next day, they started the activities and three Spitfires doing a flyby is not a show starter, but a show *stopper* in anyone's book.
      Two of the Spitfires are Mark IXs and when the three of them were flying it was very easy to tell which one had the Griffon motor - bigger engine than the Merlin, slower running and different firing order, which gives it a completely different sound.
      At this year's Classic Fighters Omaka air show, while the Mark XIV was doing one of its displays, a commentator said that for insurance reasons, this aircraft doesn't display anywhere else than at Omaka. I guess the reasons aren't hard to figure out: the owners have a limited budget and the aircraft costs a fortune to maintain and fly and when it does fly, the insurance premiums hit the stratosphere.
      Still we air show fans are very glad to have one here.

      The Ilmor-Mercedes in the 2000 McLaren is the best sounding engine I have ever heard and I've heard many! Who knows where they might have gone with that design if the FIA had not banned Beryllium which Mario Illien had pioneered the use of in the Ilmor.
