Love to see old warbirds still in flying condition. The Corsair is a favorite, probably from watching reruns of Black Sheep Squadron on Saturday afternoons in my early teens.
How can anyone dislike this. Why bother watching it if it aint your thing.
Gotta love the sound of a raging radial first thing in the morning.
My old Mack truck started like that when it was really cold out. one, two, three cylinders would fire, then it would pop along for a bit blowing smoke rings out the stack, then 4 would catch with a few puffs of smoke and a few more smoke rings, then 5 would fire, more smoke, more rings, then finally all 6 would be firing. The Corsair just has 12 more jugs to fire off! :)
Whether race cars or fighter planes, high performance piston engines always start up the same way - like they're dragons that have been sleeping for centuries and they're really pissed off that you've disturbed their slumber.
Amazing isn't it, how that "lumpy idle" always gets your attention. Think about that the next time you hear an old harley. The engine design is similar.

FosterZygote some machines you have to love even more for the way they sound and that is one of them!
WHO DISTURBS MY SLUMBER?
The Japanese didn't fear much, but they feared those. Beautiful machine.
Vought F4U Corsair one of the finest war birds ever.,
Actually the F4U-4 Corsair used in Baa Baa Black Sheep in 1976 was Corsair 97353... I have pictures of myself sitting on it at Palomar airport in 1978.
The -4 air intake is so nice.... :)
The F4U one the all time greatest love it
I love the sound of the R2800 starting up. I got a ride in a F4U-5 not too long ago and loved every bit of it!
Engine: Please try again later...say around noon. Okay, okay, I'm up.
what a beautiful bird.i made a kitset model of this beauty 40 years ago when was 13.
That shutter speed doe
what a beast. I love how it looks!
Round and round and round they go- beautiful
wow, this might be my new favorite video! Love me a Corsair.
I get a kick out of seeing how digital photography allows you to see the prop blades, or any fast moving object for that matter, so clearly. I like to see the way the pitch changes for taxiing and flying.
Amazing!!! Awesome!! Love it!!!
Fantastic!
Two words.. E A R C A N D Y!
Two more words, ear orgasm.
U hv both inspired 2 Words - Sweet Eargasm ;)
Crazy fast
Nice Strobe effect:D
Wonderfull!
I watch black sheep squadron all the time just to drool over those beautiful fighters. Im building a top flight remote control plane with a 6 foot wing span and am installing an radial engine because it sounds real❤❤❤
Beautiful sounds! Wish I could be the pilot one time gotta be awesome
The greatest fighter ever
Awesome! 2000HP. Seems adequate!!!
Reminds me of how i warm up in the morning 😂
That looks like KRNM from Chucks place! Stay safe
Super videó sharing thanks 👍
Beautiful shot down more zekes that anything else apart from bong in his p38!!
The Corsair shot down other Japanese aircraft besides the Zeke.
In the movies, they start these up and get them in the air in ten seconds!
When we get 70+ years old I’m sure we’ll be a little slow to get going too. LOL
@@ever4437 lmao yes
Even when they were new starting a radial engine is quite a process, after sitting just overnight one of the spark plugs in the bottom most cylinder had to be removed and the engine run through because oil would drain into that cylinder and if you tried to start it without draining the oil out they would hydraulic lock and bend the connecting rod, that's a good way to trash one of those engines, that's one of the reasons that you see the bomber crews running the engines through manually in the footage from WW2 by turning the props through by hand before a mission, you couldn't just jump in one of those things and stick the key in the ignition and start it up like a car, starting one of those engines was a process, x4 with a bomber.
That's also the reason that those engines smoke real good at first when they're started, the lower cylinders on the engines would have at least some oil drain into them after the last time they were shut down, even when brand new, any aircraft that had radial engines and were on alert status would have to have the ground crews start them up every so often throughout the day so in case they had to "scramble" they didn't have to go through the process of draining the oil out of the bottom most cylinder.
@@dukecraig2402 that makes sense. I wondered how they control the oil system. Not like they have a oil pan on the bottom to drain into. Would really like to get some hands on time on these engines. Love these planes.
@@donmunro144
They're dry sump systems like a Harley, the engine has two oil pumps, one draws oil from the oil tank and circulates it through the engine and the other one's a return pump that scavenges it out of the engine and pumps it back to the tank.
A lot of these planes in this day and age have electric solenoids that close a valve in the oil feed line from the tank and an electric pump to return drained oil in the crankcase after the engines shut down, that way they don't have to worry so much about damaging a museum piece, all the surplus parts for those engines are drying up and they have to be careful that they don't damage thing's because someone makes a mistake.

HMM, This looks like a super Corsair with the extended cowl which meant if sported the huge Pratt and Whitney 28 cylinder Wasp Major, "corncob" engine. I could listen to the exhaust note of that engine all day!
Easiest way to spot a super (rare) Corsair was the teardrop canopy. This ain't one. This is a F4U-4B.
This is a standard R-2800 powered F4U-4, not an F2G Super Corsair.
@@janreznak881 Actually this an F4U-4, with the six .0.50 Caliber guns, whereas the Dash 4B has four 20mm guns in the wings, instead.
Also, the standard F4Us have a bulged canopy. It's only the Goodyear F2G Super Corsair that has the teardrop canopy.
@@janreznak881it’s a f4u-4
Black Sheep was Marine Corps. Other than that.. Awesome!!
That's right, VMF-214, which is now VMFA-214, because they just started to convert to the F-35B Lightining-II, from the AV-8B Harrier-II+.
At what altitude does the Corsair reach its maximum possible achievable True Airspeed in straight and level flight? Does anyone know? Thanks.
The sound of round
Uh-huh 🤙🏻 all day long
So if I'm not mistaken and this isn't a replica paint job this corsair is from the leyte during the Korean war, so it was still flying in combat during the 50s
War Husky they used a lot of the old tech for surveillance reasons
That large prop is the reason for the "gull" wings.
Terrence Bradley The engine used needs a large propeller. The designers did not want to make the legs longer. Therefore they bent the wings.
You're both correct. The engine needed the larger prop, it was 13 feet 9 inches if I remember correctly. The Navy required the short landing gear for carrier landings and the only way to accomplish that was the gull wings.
*inverted gull
Terrence Bradley *inverted* gull wings ! Lol
The prop is big enough to chop the tail off of a Japanese bomber :)
The tv series Corsairs did not have the small intake in the bottom of the engine cowl
Looks like an F4-u 4
Anybody know why Chance-Vought used four-blade props and Goodyear used three? I think I know but I might be wrong. Also, why did Goodyear move the oil scoop location?
The Dash1s from Vought, Goodyear, and Brewster, all have a 3 Bladed Prop. The 4 Bladed Prop was first introduced on the XF4U-3 high altitude interceptor version, but, when that version was cancelled by the Navy, the next production model with the 4 Bladed Prop, is the Dash 4, however, by the time the Dash 4 went into production, the planned Goodyear equivalent; the FG-4, was canceled, plus, the Brewster Aeronautical Company was forced by the Navy to shut down, and cease all aircraft production, which lead the company to die.
Oh, and the air scoop for the oil cooler wasn't relocated on the unbuilt FG-4, because, that would've been the Goodyear equivalent to the Vought F4U-4.
I noticed that the "K" Tail Code is reversed on the left side of the tail.
Is this a -5? looks to have the extended cowl for the corncob
This is not an R-4360 powered F2G Super Corsair, instead, it's an R-2800 powered F4U-4.
Oh, and the "Corncobb" requires a much longer cowl, than the 18 Cylinder R-2800 has, along with a long top mounted induction scoop.
American muscle. Sounds kind of like a 572 big block stroker.
when the propeller turns backwards does that mean it has reverse?
Gerilynn Tarvin it's the shutter speed of the camera and frame rate which causes it to do that
The power of those things. Why the propeller was hardly turning....
It's the camera's framerate that causes that illusion.
BluLynx
Wow!
lol many ppl get injured due to this effect
It is because of the framerate, as BluLynx already said.
Imagine this was recorded with 25fps. Then you will have 1500 pictures per minute.
And now imagine that the propeller is idling at about 1500rpm. So the camera takes a picture every time, when the propeller is at the same position. If the propeller speed is slightly different from the camera framerate, then you see it turning slowly, because the propeller is a few centimeters away from when the camera took its last picture.
If you look at it in real life your eye is able of a much higher framerate, which makes the propeller look like spinning continuously, which it is, of course :)
Experiment with an adjustable strobe light and a ceiling fan.
This is an F4U-4 right? The 4-bladed prop gave it away, but I wanted to make sure lol
Yes
What's the size of that propeller? I believe that the Hawker Typhoon had the largest prop. during the war.
Size doesn't matter in this case. Flying Typhoons today?-O.....Flying Corsairs today? Several.
13ft 4in prop I do believe it's the biggest put on a ww2 fighter plane is the reason why the wings are angled to get the fuselage higher off the ground
@ kivin...thanks for that info.....I never understood why the wings were angled.....
Gary Vale ,the wings also fold up because they had to fit a lot of them on naval carrier during WWII
GymChess 13 foot prop from my knowledge
Do you have to get a special permit to carry dummy rockets like that?
Borrriiiiinnnng, unless u want to carry some too
desertfox2403 I would assume not...
Those are Replica 5 Inch Rockets, so no need for a Permit, that allows the aircraft to carry them. Because of them being replicas, it's allowed by the FAA, since it adds additional authenticity to the Warbird.
the cowl flaps not open?
The pilot doesn't really need to open the cowl flaps, if the engine temps are stable enough without needing to open up the cowl flaps.
Uh did the f4u have electric start or shotgun starter ?
Veronicca Lakewood Kinda late to the party here, but electric.
It used both types.
way too much wind noise, can barely hear the engine starting.
Such a beautiful sexy plane.
Not the best fighter but my favorite nonetheless. Spitfire Mk. 9 is a close second.
I beg to differ. Longest running piston fighter in history
Not the best? Did spitfire do Korean service??? Answer a big NO !!!!
Sorry but it is the best
Now i know we our german engines had direct fuel injection.....the fire up imediately and warm up faster.
These minutes were sometimes essential to reach the enemy in a alarm.
If
That's not a black sheep corsai. Black sheep flew bird cage corsairs.
@@johnklatt3522 was man cool that was my fav show when I was a kid
Get a mic sock!
This guy got busted for fraud! Glad he at least advanced the Devotion story before he was prosecuted!
