- There's nothing like hearing the spectacular sound of the Vought F4U Corsair engine up close. Here we have the Corsair starting up, taking off, and doing a low fly-by at Triple Tree Aerodrome!
If you haven't already check out our recent video where we took a closer look and talk a bit about the history of this iconic plane: • A closer look at the V...

My dad, Edwin Libby, put the first 2 hours on them when they came out of the Goodyear factory in Akron Ohio, where I was born in 1944.
There is no mistaking the sound of a radial engine. Love those old aircraft.
My Father flew the F4U Corsair in WWII as a USMC aviator in the Pacific. I've got a couple of old black and white photos of him in the cockpit.
Grateful for his service. Semper fi!
If he's still living, tell him thank you for me. Truly the greatest generation.
@@michaelboykin9881 Unfortunately no... He would have been 100 today if he were still alive.
What a beautiful plane! We all talk about the P51, but this is such a great looking plane as well. So many amazing aircrafts from WWII!! The P47, P38, Bearcat and Wildcat just to name a few.
Beautiful!! The sounds and the vibrations of a radial engine is thrilling!! O miss working on aircraft.
love that plane!
pretty impressive flying, right down there on the deck!
my favorite world war two airplane
Hi, can someone tell me the official name of the blue color on this Navy aircraft? Thanks!
Ah the soothing sound of a cartridge starter and a 18 cylinder Pratt and Whitney engine. I love the smell of Pratt and Whitney's in the morning.
Damn straight.
Smells like victory
vry rich mixture on strt up when i watch thisi can smell the exhautcrazy
One of the most beautiful aircraft ever!
The most beautiful aircraft of WWII to my eye
This is a great vid, TY. My Dad had the tv show Baa Baa Black Sheep on one day, & I fell in love with this plane, & the show too! I could watch Robert Conrad & the Corsair 🤣 I was 14 & female 😅
Somewhere high up above Pappy Boyington is smiling down on all us sayin oh my gosh no sheet nuggets....
12-15 male, watched this also with my dad. Show was my main childhood show. Always hummed at the intro and my dad even bought me the full series on DvD. Glad to see this show recognized more! Casey was my favorite character.
The F4U is poetry
Poetry, art, and emotion. The best dam girl in the sky.
The startup sound of the F4U Corsair is reminiscent of a combat seasoned U.S. Marine waking at O'dark thirty before moving out to the next objective
Chilling!!!!
Pretty silly
Somewhere Greg Boyington is smiling down on all of us watching this stuff. I felt a kinship with Greg pappy when I got drafted into Iraq in 2001. I was accused of being him. I am a nonconformist sheet kicker. A man of my own style even begged to be court marshalled just like Greg did in late 1943 at the end of the war just before he was captured he had had enough. Greg I think was captured sometime early in 44 and said he just rode his days out in the prison camp because the Japanese treated him okay knowing how controversial the guy was they were not gonna abuse him that much. Upon his return from capture he told a senator I think was named Rolland to go to hell when the senator wanted to use him as campaign cow Boyington told the Senator to go sheet in his hat. In a bizarre twist Boyington insisted he had constantly been having drinks and meals with one of the Generals that ran the prison camp Yahatshi something I think was the Generals name. Boyington insisted as long as their talks began with the advancements he knew of concerning U.S. Navy war ships they then thereafter continually talked about what their endeavors would be after the war was over. Boyington said Yahatshi said it was too bad his daughter couldn't hook up with a warrior of Greg's stature. Greg wrote in his book he took it as compliment not a come on.
Drafted? Really?
The smell of the fuel and exhaust…
Gotta love the amazing Vought F4U Corsair fighter/bomber. I lived in Grand Prairie in 1948 when Chance Vought moved into the former North American manufacturing plant there. Enjoyed watching the Corsair take offs and landings.
I'm from Grand Prairie, and I always loved the Corsair
My favorite Pacific Theater aircraft, what a beast!
Brutal tork!
I said this before including in person to Kurt Walton that somewhere high up above Pappy B is smiling down on all of Corsair lovers.
Fleet Air Arm also used these fantastic aircraft. They sorted out their problems and certified their carrier use.....one of the best.
Have never seen one. Most favorite . 2 - p47 T-Bolt and 3- C 47 . It would be neat to see even a wreck of a Coursair . I understand there are so many left of the corsair. Would like to see one before they are gone. Please keep G R Ford Airport in Grand Rapids , Michigan for a show this summer . Please consider. Thanks .
WOW!!!THE SWEET SOUND OF HISTORY!!!
A beautiful take off and landing using flaps. Great sound, beautiful aircraft. JOB WELL DONE.
I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing one of these beautiful aircraft up close at an air show one time. Amazing! Thanks for the video
My God, what a gorgeous bird. Chokes me up!
Between these and the P-51Ds, just can’t get enough!!👍👍
This plane in the Pacific, and the P-51 in Europe really helped us along to victory in WWII.
Majestic planes both, and a tribute to American grit and ingenuity when in really counted.
The Corsair really does have a huge snozz, I can empathize.
Bro🤣
Hose nose!
Yeah I resemble that remark.
Ohhhh the sound of FREEDOM,
Finally, after waiting since I was a kid, I finally got to see a F4U Corsair not only fly but take pictures up close. I can now die a happy man! Took my kids to the Warhawk Air Museum Air Show in Nampa, ID last weekend where we saw three P-40 Warhawk's, three different P-51 Mustangs (including the Boise Bee), a P-38 Lightning, a B-25 Mitchell, some T-6's and torpedo bombers and of course the F4U Corsair. So glad I took my kids there to hear the 1940's music and watch these warbirds fly right over us.
That sounds like a blast!!
You should try the, Pensacola Naval Air museum. There are planes from WW1 and WW2 as well as some modern aircraft, such as the SR71. I took my boys back in the early 90s. We also stopped off and visited the USS Alabama, in Mobil Bay.
Great aircraft but boy oh boy was it hard landing on the carriers!
Aren't they all!
“Hose Nose”
Only before the strut issue was corrected and the Brits figured out the proper landing approach. After that it was no harder to land than anything else.
Go Pros were not made for Corsairs landing gear.
My favorite WWII fighter! Was 416 one of the planes used in Black Sheep Squadron tv show?
@@johnklatt3522 thanks John
That is one sexy lady. Whistling Death was a fitting name especially if it was after you
@@johnklatt3522 thanks John
Jim's Corsair here wasn't on the show. There is another F4U-4B that was in it which is still around. That one is 97359. Flew in Korea, Black Sheep Squadron TV, and was flown as #205 in the upcoming movie "Devotion" based off Adam Makos' book (Tom Hudner's plane). It flies under a new scheme now since it was reunited with a pilot who flew it in Korea. They painted it to look like as he flew it.
Man, the Corsair has got to be the sexiest plane ever made! With the P-51 Mustang right on its tail
So beautiful. We are almost not deserving enough to witness this warbird in all it's grandeur. Watching this beauty take flight makes me wish that jet propulsion was never discovered and Corsairs still ruled the air like they did back in the 1940s. I will always envy those that flew this beautiful fighter in times of belligerence as well as, 80 years later, are able to fly it now as in this video. Thank you for this upload.
Nice, I’ve always loved the WW2 vintage fighter planes
Nothing quite like the sight and sound of a Corsair. Love that bird.
I once talked with a former Marine officer who flew them during the war. He called the plane a death trap. Always leaking lots of hydraulic fluid. I guess the maintenance where he was wasn't so great...
Best sounding motor ever
There had been a video that Diamond P sports had of an unspecified carrier at sea 1944 had a flock of Corsairs warming up on deck and taking off. It was that long ago it was on Beta tape early mid 1980s. I had worn that tape out to this day it is my favorite aircraft of all time and my shop & offices is smothered in model Corsairs and RC Corsairs. I am a marine black squadron A-10 pilot. Don't let em fool ya only the AF flies the A-10 that ain't true no more after Iraq. Marines have 2 black Squadrons of em 4 planes each. I flew way over 90 sorties over Iraq. The Navy disqualified me because I am color blind but that leads to other gifts like being able to read a bill board a little less than a half mile away which still blows my families minds and being able to see right thru a camo covered target and detect movement because I might be color blind but I am extremely far sighted. I can totally smoke a target 4 to 6 miles away & not even use electronic sighting. And I truly believe in my heart that Greg Pappy Boyington had my very same handicapped blessings from hearing reading stories about him. One tail of Boyington is the fact he just saw a glint of a little tiny reflection out of the corner of his eye in his canopy window went inverted straight down came back up like rocket ship and smoked a Zero that was after him with a single burst from his guns. Fantasy? No not if he had my eye sight gift not at all. I have high perf vision perception and I could have done such a thing as I am thee one thee only A-10 jock to ever have smoked a soviet made Mig over the Iraq Iran border ever. I saw a glint pulled my flaps and my speed brake jammed the throttle to nil went over on one wing saw the mig and smoked it with my gun not a rocket. The guy blew by me fired one rocket at me way too late. Then his butt was all mine. Boyington was god gifted not just a gifted pilot he had some other attributes other people regular people cannot comprehend. It was not all skill. Some of the skills were gods giftings.
How do you feel about the Hellcat and the thunderbolt? They used the same engine
1:18 that shot .... what a badass airplane!
That flyby is amazing.
The low fly-by looks like what my dad said he did when he buzzed freight trains at night while getting flight hours in his Corsair in WWII…
Magine. Being on a carrier...with a. Flight of these....warming up!
F4F, F6F, Corsair, F7F...just keep adding horsepower. Finally, the FG1D....
Simply beautiful, the video almost take my mind away of what a deadly machine it is.
Amazing that they were able to put that big of a prop on that airframe.
Think the gull wing is how they got that big prop on them...😊
@@gmm6885 The Gull Wings was to make the landing gear shorter and stronger.
Sounded like a jet to me! Can't hear it until it's dead on your 6! Always remember though, it's not the plane that makes the Pilot, it's the Pilot that makes the plane, and the Pilot that makes the Pilot! That's PAPPY BOYINGTON'S BIRD! THE F4!
If that doesn't give up goosebumps nothing will
Algún día tendrá yo la oportunidad de volar uno se estos 😎
Always loved the Corsair especially as a kid who watched Baa Baa Black Sheep.
As I got older I learned about the difficulties the Corsair had with carrier landings.
Still love the plane!!
Man I love those airplanes.
That was pleasant and relaxing. Always will be a cool plane.
Soo beautiful!!!
😊🙏 The legendary WWII Pacific theatre Vought F4U Corsair " Whistling Death " ... Thank You So Much for making this beautifully edited & concised video for the fans & for sharing it! 🌷🌿🌍✌💜🕊
that is my dream, right there...
Ours too!
Damn, that thing is gorgeous!
Best looking’ and one of the most fierce fighters of World War II” Loooooove these aircraft!!!!!💖💖💖💖🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼👍👍👍👍
My dad used to fly a PzL-104 Wilga which also had a big radial engine, although nowhere near as powerful as the Pratt and Whitney R2800 on the Corsair. Every time we took her out I got the job of pulling the prop through 8-10 blades until the oil that had pooled in the lower cylinders had worked through the exhausts and started pouring out on the ground. Even then the start up was always loud and messy and we burned a lot of oil before it finally kicked in.
The legend
A legend among legends!
@@TheAviatorsTV F4U what? Which variation
My late Dad flew Corsairs from the carrier USS Bennington (CV-20). He bombed the IJN Hyuga, at Kure harbor in late July, 1945. His wingman (Jory Jorgensen) witnessed the bombing run.
What a fantastic aircraft.
Wow! That was so cool!
The sounds of WW2. Amazing.
Whispering death 👍🦅
What a great machine!!!! I love it..............
The old man fought on Okinawa. He loved the Corsair!
Sheer aviation beauty
That’s a monster with wings! Love it!
As a child in my motherland, mes amis, I read the memoirs of a chap who was a combat pilote of one of these in WWII. He claimed that the Flight Manual stated that the glide-characteristics were SO poor, that if the engine stopped, you should bail-out (if high enough) ... OR 'Whistle A Happy Tune and Kiss Your Ass Goodbye '! ... because a 'dead-stick’ landing was very iffy. 💋
Pure grace in aeronautics.
Nice video
Thanks
Beleza de aviao❤
One of the HOTRODS of WW2. Love it.
It's probably magnetized just like that accident was
Excellent video of an excellent subject. Crystal clear video, and no BS. Just great shots of a beautiful warbird - the Corsair, including the three things we all want to see: takeoff, a high speed pass, and landing. Great job.
F4U-4 like the f4u pro or ultra
I love when these big radial monster's crank up
New cars of today with Pops and Bangs;
Then you get this beautiful Warbird, like
0:04 - "Hah, Amateurs!"
Remembering Foss, Boyington, and all the others who flew one of the best aircraft ever flown. The magic and the danger endures forever.
Went to a warbird air show and the hairs on my arms and goosebumps when four different planes did a low pass. I'll never forget it. They are loud and that's another good thing about them. Haha
You all hear the whistling sound the prop makes?
Thats why the Corsair is nicknamed Whistling Death.
I remember meetings pappy Boington in 1980 ar Forbes feld Topeka Kansas superbatic 80. Be side his F4u Coursair lous
Still think “Maverick” should have flown an F4u. P51 is a great fighter but navy?
I knew a former Marine pilot who had 2000 hrs of S Pacific combat flying (plus 50 years of crop dusting and 14 years of ranch Super Cub flying after the war), he once made an off hand comment about how once they were on short final, the entire carrier disappeared!
Saw one of these at air show at Reading airport, PA in 2015. Spectacular!
Just me, but best propeller fighter of WW2, unless you include the TA152.
Love the sound of the R-2800 Double Wasp at idle. And the F4U is one of my favorite warbirds. I also love flying my RC model versions of them too, don't let them get too slow in the turns to approach for landing or they'll bite you, other than that they always astonish me.
whistling death!!! love that plane. my favorite of ww2
Corsair is prettier than Mustang They were used in South America until the 1980s
Beautiful machinery. How much must it COST to restore and maintain such a plane? Wow
I experienced this at an airshow. They are frick’n loud on the ground and in the sky! The amazing thing is you can actually feel the power these engines produce. It takes a special pilot to handle the torque!!
Honesty it sounds like America is pisst...maybe you should've have poked the bear?
"Whistling death" as they were affectionately known by the Japanese ❤
It sounded like a real ""war bird." They called them "whistling death," but I didn't heart any whistling.
Nice shotgun start!
Wasn't it though!
me:wait a minute skipper!? you're flying!
Friend: that's different corsair bud also he already flew i thought you're a fan of the movie?
Bro that movie is my childhood. The sequel is the reason I want to be an Ariel firefighter
I hate to be a kill joy ,but the engine was missing on a few cylinders .Still a Beautiful Aircraft
Keep in mind some number of them were manufactured by General Motors, not Vought.
Pappy's 'Cactus Air Force' beast. Semper Fi!
Pappy Boyington is a great hero!
Doesn't compare to an Earth-shaking DC-3
I fly Helis, I love Helis, bu the F4U, love the design of the wings
Beautiful. A plane one could fall in love with... unless you were Japanese.
i don't think any other aircraft has managed the astounding level of art and function that this airplane achieved. It looks alive, purposeful, magnificent. great video thank you for posting
Bf-109 emil
An incredibly beautiful machine.
I think you can hear the turbo in the beginning of the video. That’s so cool!
these must be difficult to fly, they look pretty unconventional as far as flight characteristics go
