- This is a short flight demo of the Planes of Fame Museum's (Chino, California) own P-47 "Razorback" Thunderbolt. This aircraft is a "G" model, one of the 354 built under license by Curtiss in Buffalo, New York. This aircraft has a 2,000-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-2800, 18-cylinder engine. What a monster of a WWII fighter!
She was big, fast, tough and deadly. My favorite fighter of WWII. Sure the Mustang, the Lightning and the Spitfire were sexier but the Jug has that special appeal that is intangible. It is the embodiment of toughness.
Yessir couldn’t of said it any better🤟💜, my personal favorite is probably a P-51 mustang or a JU-87 stuka.
mine too!!! p47 is a beast....the plane most likely to get you home after a rough fight.
P47 & Mosquito for me. 2 favourite fighters of WW2
I love the razorback version!
all planes are awesome, but P-47 has a special place in my heart
Can you imagine a whole squadron taking off together.
Shattered windows my guess.
Can you imagine what a squadron of these sounded like backed up by B-17s or B-24s?
@@nightshadedawn that would be so amazing but hearing protection will be needed.
Nothing like the sound of a big radial engine, truly a thing of beauty.
My uncle was a P-47 pilot in WWll. Hell of a plane and a hell of a man. Together, they kicked some ass and lived to tell.
My Uncle as well..365th FG / 386th FS
6 50 caliber guns devastating
@@PostalWorker14 ... Just a little correction..the P-47 had Eight (8) 50-cal Brownings... My Uncle described it as having eight Sledgehammers...
That idle sounds just like the drag strip...... lots of horsepower. 👍👍
Has more horse power than a mustang too and the plane is build around the R200 Double Wasp supercharged engine
Drag strip haha
Surprised for the response
Just imagine if you could burn Nitro 🔥 in them, the HP would go through the roof
@@frankroy9423 the prop would leave the plane before the fuselage moved a inch.
Yeah the Rolls Royce Merlin is a cute little engine, but the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp is a man's engine.
I thought it sounded likea P+ w a very large thirsty workhorse that got the job done.!
@J Calhoun what about the b17.
@Dave's Politics Club - aww... somebody got their widdle feelings hurt.
@J Calhoun
The N was the fastest fighter with the longest range of the war . They got at least 2 squadrons into the Pacific before August 45
@Frank Parrish they're big , heavy and expensive to fly . And not many made back from overseas , and they shut off production very quickly . The merlin is easier to work on and more glamorous . The 51 is prettier (to some people )
Wow! Now I gotta go to the hobby shop and buy a P-47 model and build it.
Yes you do !! Go now ! Go razorback, not bubble top !
This is what ALL engines should sound like. Big. Loud. Obnoxious. Clanking. Whirring. Screw Ferrari LOL
@Kathleen Shaw And pissing all over the ground when starting.
This makes me wonder what a Ferrari aircraft engine would be like. Rolls Royce gave us the Merlin. I wonder what Ferrari could have done?
@@Ladco77 The Blaine engine.
@@phapnui Care to offer a link or more info? A Google and TH-cam search for "blaine engine" doesn't anything looking like Ferrari aircraft engines.
@@Ladco77 Sure. No problem. Merlin was a magician, right? If Ferrari came up with something, my guess it would be another magician, such as David Blaine. th-cam.com/video/DCsMXYgLXqs/w-d-xo.html
This plane is the A-10's Father.
+1 to that. Not many people even know the Warthog is actually a Thunderbolt II
I find it interesting that both these aircraft had nicknames they are better known as than their 'given' name. Can't wait for Thunderbolt III
Drackkor
the Strumovik is the A-10s father.
The P-40 could also be a candidate.
dru tha damaja no it's not the il2 is russian and the p47 was far more superior but was not as good at using its guns against tanks
The BEAUTIFUL and MIGHTY Jug!!!
I’m 52 years old and every time I watch and listen to this video I tear up, especially when she’s at full power. Her Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp 18-Cylinder Radial Engine is one of the most BEAUTIFUL sounds EVER created by human beings!!! 🥲
That is a fact Brian.
That's one big motor and a lot of horses there! Sounds better than any jet any day.
Beautiful. What amazing engineers we had back then.
Looks brand new and love that sound! Especially since there isn't any music!
The sound IS the MUSIC.
@@donotneed2250 Exactly
Must've eaten a gallon of oil just starting up. Awesome! Will the 47 dislikers please explain your down vote?
Probably the ones still alive that were shot down by this beast...
@@Airtruksrus That's as good a reason as any I suppose.
It'd be better if there were two because your can't beat a pair of Jugs
I love the sound of the Pratt & Whitney R-2800
Todd Sanderson its music
You can always hear the gear case on these eng's.
Those old birds are works of art to me.
Such a beautiful warbird from a hell'uve a time!!!!! Man she's just breath takingly gorgeous!!!!!!!
She's gorgeous. Luv it!
The "jug" flies again!! Too cool!
Wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of his strafing run...
Look at this monster, now I understand why the allies won . The thing is a predator
Clank-clank, sputter, rumble, fart-sprut-fizz, zoom...
Sounds like me when I wake up.
Alex the Hun You've got a clank, too? 😱😳🍀
Well, here's hoping it's just the denture and you zoom along nicely! 😂😂
The P-47 is like the B-17 and the Huey it'll take a beating and still bring you home.
Needing to be well placed of course, a single rifle bullet could/did bring down a P51 but a P47 (once at least) with an entire cylinder shot away flew the pilot home safely. Both lethal: the difference between a rapier and a broad sword.
Yes, what do you say is the most overlooked and most important factor of aerial combat.
Almost all shoot down kills, at least 80% in World War II, the aircraft killed was jumped and surprised.
In this scenario, the aircraft that has the best survivability, all other things being roughly equal, that aircraft has a huge advantage.
The numbers prove it. In the European theater, the best P 51 pilots were shot down and killed. The best P 47 pilot survived.
The radio engine and the P 47 combined to make the most effective fighter Aircraft in The European theater.
The Thunderbolt also had the range but the Army Air Force was too stupid and incompetent to get the right wing tanks. The TH-cam channel Greg’s airplanes Proves this beyond the shadow of a doubt
@@Imtahotep: it happens frequently, massively damaged thunderbolt returning.
As good as the P 51 was, it was inferior overall because the best pilots died because of its fragility.
That is why the best American aces Were thunderbolt pilots and they survived the war. (European theater … the toughest arena)
@@Imtahotep That claim is mostly internet hooey. The statistics that actually exist on ground attack casualties don’t bear out the ‘one bullet in the cooling system and it’s all over’ trope. It’s a Greg thing. The three main causes of casualties in ground attack were Flak, enemy aircraft and flying into the ground.
@@Imtahotep The ‘got home with two cylinders shot away’ trope doesn’t have much going for it either. I have repeatedly asked but despite other photographs being available, nobody has ever been able to produce one of a surviving P-47 with missing cylinders.
Yet everyone who says this claims either; 1) it was a regular thing and no big deal or 2) they know someone it happened to.
To avoid enemy fire from behind, just unstrap and run around the cockpit.
That's funny
that engine sound makes women pregnant
My Favorite WWII Plane!!
Eight .50 caliber machine guns on this bad boy. Eight!
And armor behind the pilot!
Can you imagine being 19 or 20 and flying a Thunderbolt to war? Knowing there were young men manning ME109s and flak guns waiting for you?
It was one of the safer aircraft to take over
It was a hell of airplane...hydraulics, cockpit and engine stood behind bullet proof metal. It had +2,000hp. One of best ground attacks airplanes of WW2. It also had a great range and +7000 ft no german airplane could withstand a dogfight. It was a great scouter also.
No. 😶
Don`t have to; Marvin Bledsoe`s book P-47 THUNDERBOLT puts you right in that cockpit ((during combat sorties)). AWESOME read !
No worries the jug could take a lot of punishment.
Wow! That radial firing up brings a rush! Great video! More please!
Every time a P-47 starts up, Al Gore cries a little inside
F4u
Corsair
FPS Hungary...Good!
👍👍👍
Great! That phoney candy ass can fffffffade away!
Nah, I think he’d give this one a pass. 😂😂😂😜
Razorback Jugs are classic! You can’t argue with 2,000 horsepower and eight .50 calibers! 🇺🇸👍👏
Flak Jack Ed I’m to understand the razorbacks handled better than the bubble canopy jugs due to the portions of fuselage they cut away providing flight stability too.
C. Welch , true, but the pilots prefer the all-around visibility that the bubble canopy provides. 👍
You can’t negotiate with this machine. It usually chews up anything you could throw at it.
Sounds like a construction crew hard at work in there until it fires. Absolutely perfect! Outstanding video on a beautiful 47.
I got a stiff one at 0:14.....
😹🤣😂🤣👍🏽
Gorilla UMP
There’s nothing wrong about someone getting “excited” over a ~70+ year old aircraft.
Also remember, those things shook around a lot in the air, so pilots probably got a bit excited as well.
If you can’t comprehend what I’m saying, it’s because I need to go to sleep, it’s like 1am rn.
When that big ole jug fired up, it knocked my phone over. True. Always thought the razorback was the best looking version
The plane reminds me of a pit bull dog , stocky and tuff as hell
You forgot to show the pilots huge grin on his face. No outher sound. Love to see old war birds back were they live.
The most underestimated fighter of the war, all the glory went to the Mustang. As a Mustang fan, truth is it was the P-47 that actually broke the back of the Luftwaffe. and gave what was left to the P-51 pilots
Caution -- big ole' Jug at work.
She's So Beautiful, She Made My Heartbeat Fast!
Thanks Much!
i got a Hardon :-)
Video can't replace the shockwaves vibrating through your body standing next to this kind of power in person
@yolanda jerginson thanks
A giant, snarling beast of a thing - even when parked beside other fighters of it's era.
Besides the P-51, I would love to fly the P-47! It's a tank with wings.
My God what a monster
Does the exhaust smoke coming from the cowl gills instead of under the rear fuselage mean the turbo has been deleted?
Love the raw fuel pouring out on the first revolution
Primer scupper to prevent excessive accumulation.
We met Steve Hinton walking around his shop at the museum back in 1990 and he signed my sons aviation book.
He is my son's greatest heroe and always aspiring to be like him some day. He is really a great person..!!
The Chino museum is the WWII aviation home in the south west and is a just wonderful place to be at...!
May God bless Steve, his crew and all that goes at that place, they are really preserving American history down to the details..
Thanks for allowing me to post this comment.
+El Diablo Steve is a super great guy with the best job in the world!
+Hivolt Arc... Indeed he is...! Him and his crew are the forefront of maintaining and preserving
some of the most important artifacts of that era...a great job for sure...!!
Love to hear that "Fat Lady" sing!
i was in seattle at flying heratige musem a few years back @they rolled that oil leaker outside@lit it off-----what a treat.
I went to an airshow in Fresno years ago that was a Doolittle tribute and a p47 had flown in . I hardly looked at any of the other aircraft . When she fired up your guts shook . It's too bad that the pilot owner was a jack as@, because the plane was gorgeous .
That is a magnificent restoration back to a stock model. I HATE IT when Americans convert these vintage aeroplanes into those Reno racing, souped up flying abortions.
67 dead German soldiers disliked this video
Yankee hot rod.
Considering that prop aircraft are still being used in the ground attack role to this day, I’d love to see someone start making these again (with some modifications of course)
as a warplane? surely you can't be serious
@stereolababy I think he means as a Close Air Support plane.
@@colterstutesman7810 idc how he means its dumb
@@colterstutesman7810 Absolutely. Google A29.
The British pilots laughed at the P-47 when they first arrived in Britain but after they saw her performance in combat and ability to bring her pilot back alive the laughing stopped and the respect began. The Thunderbolt was also one of the most effective fighter-bombers in WWII.
That’s complete bulltish.
@@thethirdman225 I got that from my father who was there. Were you?
@@mysticwanderer4787 Well, the animosity between the RAF and US pilots is well known. A quasi-independent witness report can be found is Clostermann’s book _’The Big Show’,_ in which Clostermann describes his own views of the P-47. Clostermann was a Frenchman who had lived in the United States and flew for the RAF. Any belief that RAF pilots laughed is simply not true. He expressed concerns about how long a fully-laden P-47 took to get off the ground and this definitely had repercussions for airfield management.
But there was no ‘laughing followed by shock when anyone realised anything about the P-47’s qualities’. That is simply an ‘old war story’.
Really beautiful... loved that plane! Sounds great too! 👍
And THAT is what true power sounds like!!!
Hell yeah.
I was told by one of the old timers that this was the most powerful single prop plane built. True? Not true? Don't care. This bad boy can buzz my farm any day.
It was the heaviest single engine, one pilot plane the usa made.
my favorite plane ever!!!
If anything good at all came out of WW2 it's all the wonderful warbirds us RC modelers are so fond of building and flying!
And we get to watch your wonderful skills flying around. And now they are coming out with incredible sounding engines.
Also killing the nazis, that was also pritty good I'd argue.
Sounds like someones having a pee just before it starts lol, Great Aircraft.
+Lagg Buster That big radial has been known to cause involuntary loss of bladder control.
Just caught an episode of Dogfight where they concentrated on this lovely beast of a plane. Many a pilot owe their life to this plane. What a great design. I urge others to find that episode. German pilots gave up after they ran out of bullets trying to bring one down. Wow.
Everytime one of these WW2 planes starts up.... an Etta Thunberg dies
The P-47 is the epitome of the Beauty and the Beast. Love it.
Jane Fonda complained about how the startup is bad for the environment . . .
Conversation between a P-47 Thunderbolt and an A-10 Warthog.....Yes, I am your father.
Help, need help. Does anyone know how, or where one would get a ring tone to put on their cell phone from 1:29 to 1:39? Honest question.
The great and mighty Warpig from Farmingdale!
What can you say...WOW! That is bad ass.
The German pilots had great respect for the P-47 and called it the flying tank. "Panzer Fliegend". Since it could take tremendous punishment and keep on flying. The P-47 pilots loved it.
Fantastic job. Looks and sounds awesome.
My dad was trained to fix that model of aircraft during WW 2..he spent the war in the Pacific Theater...
Plausible first date question - What would you rather listen to the latest boy band or an 18 cylinder 2000HP engine?
It was routine for my mom to see these P47's flying around during WW2 she was British, there were US planes everywhere.
Don't you love the smell A/V gas in the morning 🇺🇸🖒
15 lbs of lead come out of those 8 .50 caliber so second at 2850 ft. a second plus the speed of the plane ,they converge at between 250 to 350 yards. It weighs 14, 000 pounds. Nothing can our dive it of the WWII planes. They also carried 5"HVAR and 8" rockets that could penetrate tanks. Read the story of the Falaise Gap, Argentan and Mortain on the coast of France. The Bristish take credit for what the dis to the German Armour ( three Panzer Divisons) from the Eastern Front on R&R who got caught by the P-47's and British Typhoons (kicked the shit out of them). In Author Carlo De Este's book Eisenhower the Supreme Commander "Ike"Eisenhower walked the field at the Falaise Gap near Caen and wretched and vomited at the sight of 10,000 Germans without all their body parts, now you know what general purpose 500lbs bombs, .50 cal machine guns and HVAR (high velocity air. Rockets) do to the enemy (Germans).Plus all the destruction of there Panzer Tanks. The U.S. Army Air Corp. Ninth Tactical Air Forceand the British RAF Typhoon's destroyed nearly 65,000 Germans that day. The Brits had their revenge for Dunkirk!
Yep. Rockets were gonna change everything.
bad to the bone
This was the first model I ever build as a kid!
Same here, like in 1985...turned out like shit but I was 11 and had my P-47 replica.
Do they have big props to blow away all the smoke?
No
@@onebadapple83 Thanks for clearing that up.
@@phapnui . Radial engines always smoke on start up
Don't forget that there are upside down cylinders that fill with oil
Thus the smoke
@@MartintheTinman Props to you for taking the time to clarify but I was kidding. I'm pretty old school and grew up using dope a lot...for my models to make the rice paper covering resistant to the the model engine gas. I'd go down to local air strip to buy the dope as it was cheaper than buying it in EJ Korvettes..
Sounds mean!!!
Awesome job. Labor of love. We have a jug training field in Southern NJ (Vineland). Every year they have a WWII weekend. I hope you make it around one year so we can see it.
Love it...still get goosbums every time..
Hermoso sonido del motor radial
Well, back in the day this was a very bad boy.
Simply awesome. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
8 50 cal. machine guns......hello !!
The biggest, heaviest, nastiest, baddest airframe of WWII!....and most importantly the one that’ll bring you home every time.
A hockey player in a figure skating contest, a figure skating contest to the death, sooner or later he's gonna reach out with that big stick and it won't be long he'll be the only one left on the ice.
Love how it pees out fuel before it starts.
The radial muscle growl!
I’m honestly surprised more civilian aircraft didn’t take from these sorts of designs. Stable, maneuverable, reliable, and relatively affordable to produce panels in that shape repeatedly. Especially since it’s been 80 years since the production of those was “perfected,” one would think we’d have kept optimizing the production for the future.
A friend's wife father, Col Billy Edens, flew a P47 in WW2. Watched an interview of him, incredible man.
That is a beast of an aeroplane!
There is one bad ass sounding airplane
Nothing like the sound of a big radial fly by. I love it!
Awesome, tks for posting
8 50's you get the message?
There should be more of them
What a beautiful awesome sound!!
Oh man. I would loved to have seen this with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears. Magnificent!
+minitstop I'd love to have flown in this work of art .Envy the pilots who did.
The vid is short, but, man...that start-up caught me off-guard the FIRST-time, and I was still about to "wet-em'-down", at the end! VERY-impressive sound, especially under the headphones, at roughly-30% gain. Loved it! On-par with the ol' AD-6 "Spad"! (It's OK though...I needed to wash the underwear tonight, anyhow...!) ☺
Round motors are awesome!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It look like a flying engine & prop from one of a 4 engine bomber.
True...good description !
It is. 2000 bhp.
