Spectacular Oshkosh Highlights! - EAA AirVenture 2021

  • In a joint venture with our friends at This Is Flight, we bring you some of the best highlights of EAA AirVenture 2021 in Oshkosh, WI!
    Look for unique homebuilt aircraft like Bally's Bomber (a scale B-17!), vintage airliners like the Samaritan's Purse DC-8, plus special arrivals and departures like a German Air Force A400 Atlas and a Boeing 747-8F. Oshkosh's legendary mass formations are featured along with different warbird themes throughout the week like light warbirds and vintage jet warbirds. We run down the special "75 years plus 1" commemoration of the end of World War II: a two hour airshow segment that used more than 40 warbirds to highlight major events during the war like the attack on Pearl Harbor, the D-Day landings, and the air war in Europe.
    "Two Buck Chuck" with AirVenture first-timers Erik Edgren and RJ Gritter showcases affordable aerobatic aircraft while the 2022 edition of Adventures of Aviore brings together airshow all-stars in a creative performance. Aviation of all types is celebrated with flybys by agricultural crop sprayers, a Goodyear Blimp demonstration, and innovative electric VTOL aircraft like the bizarre-looking Volocopter.
    We slow things down with a look at the twilight STOL demonstration on the ultralight runway before speeding things up with the US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) demonstrations featuring an airfield takeover by MC-130s, CV-22 Ospreys, AC-47/AC-130 gunship heritage flight, and an eye-popping night flare dump. The military action continues with rarely seen AFSOC types like the U-28 Draco and C-146 Wolfhound, an A-10 Warthog field attack demo, US Air Force Heritage Flight, U-2 Dragon Lady flyby, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon and F-18 Super Hornet demonstration teams.
    Our friends at This Is Flight have many videos just like this one on their youtube channel: / thisisflight Also be sure to check out their main website at thisisflight.net/
    HUGE thanks to AdamandJohnsDad for helping us out with the flare drop video! / @vikinghater2

    I'm guessing $1 billion of hardware here and I cannot even wrap my brain around the organization and the timing and the orchestration it went into this event. My heart swelled as the story unfolded. The narrator of this video is a born story teller ! I can barely imagine my life before TH-cam.

    That was outstanding. The narration was absolutely perfect. You guys put a lot of time, research, and effort into this and it definitely shows. It’s not often that you can do Oshkosh justice without actually being there to experience it yourself but you guys came pretty close and painted a pretty good picture. Great job to all involved in putting this together.

    The O-2 is not the Birdog, instead, it's the USAF version of the Cessna Model-337 Super Skymaster twin. The Post 1962 Designation for the Birdog is O-1.

    • @adamlandau7891
      @adamlandau7891 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Correct - this is something that was pointed out as the review stage and I re-recorded it, but managed to say the wrong number a second time and didn't notice. Ditto with the Hurricane (which is a Mk.12) - it was written in Roman numerals and I misread the X as a V. The script itself is usually accurate, but inevitably in 45 minutes of real-time recording, comprising approx. 5,000 words, a few words here and there get misread, misunderstood or mentally replaced with something else, and the incorrect version slips through without anybody noticing.
      There are 5 little errors in here to my knowledge (one was accurate at the time of recording but not by publication) but nothing I can do about it now.

    Sculthorpe airbase is still known as an active airbase, but is totally decommissioned.

    21:37...the fuck you say? It was what, 4mph slower than a late war Mustang? and oh, it had far fewer losses in Korea? Oh my goodness, and oh, it also had the last prop on prop kills when a Honduran Corsair busted three Salvadorian prop fighters, Corsairs and Mustangs, making Fernando Soto the last pilot to kill a prop plane whilst flying a prop plane. Let's not forget that Mustang also had the lowest kill ratio of any US plane in the theater, lower than P-38, lower than Jug, just 1`:0 better than a P-40. I have also read a quote from a Luftwaffe pilot who said of all of the US planes he disrespected the Mustang the most.
    The plane was a success only because the Luftwaffe was dead by the time it came out in large numbers. Is there merit to the fact that it killed a lot because it could escort bombers to and from the targets? Yep, but Jug did a lot better, numbers, kill ratio, survivability. You decide.
