My Dad flew F4U's from 1943 to the end of the war in VMF224 and his brother was also with him. He had the choice to stay Navy and fly Hellcats or go to the Marines and fly corsairs which was what he wanted. He had 3,500 hours by the time the war ended. He loved this plane and called it the queen of the sky. He always wanted to get in it and go and he swore that was how he survived the war. I love this plane and thank-you for the detailed explanation of this F4U-4. So glad there are some left and they are flying!
As with my uncle, being 93 now, who flew in WW2 for the New Zealand air force in a squadron 17' squadron then the 22nd in the islands, call the Kekapo's, a deadly new Zealand spider. He is loosing his eyesight but am so proud of him.
What a nice guy, Mr. Jim Tobul!! How beautiful the way he explains to us!! How he lives and feels his Corsair !! Wishing him always good and pleasant flights and good landings!!
The best Corsair walk around I have seen. Jim clearly knows and loves his Corsair. More power to you Jim. It's 7:30pm in Stdney, I'm 31 minutes in but I have scotch so I'll stay until the end and my darling wife just told me that my dinner is in the oven, and it's a salad. Thank God for take-away.
Love that plane. In the early days in Korea, (I'm 93) we always had a flight of several Marine Corsairs (Black Sheep, Checkerboard or Death Rattlers) overhead ready to strike with bombs, rockets or napalm where needed. They were our 'special weapon', which the Army didn't have. Those unknown pilots are not forgotten.
He had to have been there after I was. I don't think there were 20-21 year old Corsair pilots the first few months of the war. The pilots I heard on the radio sounded like old raunchy Marines.@@delam
@@OldGunnyStJames that’s possible. He said he started working for American Airlines and think he said he went to flight school soon after high school. After his first commercial flight he went to Korea.
Thanks for the most detailed walkaround I've seen on the Corsair..I had an old friend that flew them off carriers in WWII, always loved hearing his stories.
With Red West saying which aircraft is yours College Boy,? Wrong College Boy they're all mine and God help you if you break it. Do you hear me College Boy?
These walk arounds are absolutely fascinating. The bravery to climb in these machines and defend freedom is humbling at the least and a gratefulness unmeasurable. Tyrants will always be resurfacing. Those that stand guard our heroes. Plus its no small effort to do these videos. TY 👏👍
Outstanding. This is my favorite fighter aircraft from that era. In the right hands it was a formidable foe. I used to know a guy that said that he got to fly the F2G 'Super Corsair' version with the P&W R-4360 engine. He was a cool guy and appreciated his stories. Rest well, Ted Cartwright.
I am a 76yo aircraft enthusiast and I love virtually all WWII and Korean War aircraft. My dad was a SeaBee in the Pacific in WWII and even though he never flew any aircraft he was always full of tales about the Corsair. It was _the_ Navy fighter, even for enlisted carpenters or electricans. My dear wife does not share my enthusiasm for aircraft but just follows me around from museum to museum or air show to airshow. But when we visited the National Naval Aviation Museum she saw a Corsair and it became her all-time favorite, She can spot the gull wing from a mile away and loves the sound and the gracefulness in which it carries out the mission. This was a really rewarding video, I loved every minute and learned a lot. Thanks and a very emphatic BZ.
Thanks Erik. That was an extremely educational walkaround of my favorite aircraft. Jim did a great job with details galore. Excellent camera work, sir. Wonderful video. Also, really enjoyed the show last night with Ryan, Bryan, and Eren. Sounds like Oshkosh was a real blast.
Best walk around I've ever seen. Use to watch ba ba black sheep, pappy boyington, thank god for him and guys like you, we would be speaking another lanquage. You guys are top shelf Americans. Thanks Jim .
This has been the best "walk around" video I have ever seen of ANY aircraft with great camera work. Presented by someone who's not trying to sell you an airplane with sterile facts or familiarizing a cadet with a 'staccato' of parameters and limitations. This was a primer on the Chance Vought Corsair presented by an enthusiastic historian who happens to be the current caretaker of a beloved rare treasure. Jim gives us a chance to fully understand how the Corsair lives and breathes. Along with all of the little details, 'secrets', and anecdotes that are usually glossed over or just mentioned. Thank you for showing this fantastic machine with an attention to detail that I haven't seen about a warbird before. I'm going to save this video!
I just watch your video and enjoyed it! I spend 30 years in the Marines/0311 so thank you for your Service. From Saipan keep the F4U Corsair videos coming.
Thank you for very complete over view of the Corsair F4. In my opinion The MOST beautiful WW2 aircraft. I remember my dad always talking in great detail about them.; I'm now 74 yo and your video and overview brought back such fond memories. I remember him always saying it was an anhedral / dihedral wing. Now I know why which is amazing. Thank you 1,000 times over.. Great Job.
This is a very interesting and informative video about my favourite warbird! A big thanks to Jim and his father to rebuilt and keep flying this aircraft, and of course thank you for this great walkround video!
Jim's father passed away in this very same airplane from a crash after his engine failed about 20 years ago. Put it in some trees to avoid houses or so I heard.
I sat back and cried when I saw this today I was so happy that somebody put this out there I work for art during this time and new Joe and Gordon very well traveled with them all never Mets get bulk as he was already gone by then but I did get a chance to work on his chipmunk when we got it for art a lot of super memories I'll never forget guys like Charlie Gene and Tom Leo and Bob the Applebee's Roy Sprague and Jim Lasley a time I'll never forget these names will live on forever I thank God for giving me the time and the chance to know them all and many more I hope David gets a chance to see this video to miss you too.
Wow, what a very informative walkaround of this icon of WWII. The Corsair is without a doubt one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made. And in that iconic dark blue color, it's spectacular. This gentleman without a doubt knows this aircraft like the back of his hand. It's always been a dream of mine to fly in a WWII era warbird.
Jim , as a long time fan of your beautiful aircraft , your presentation makes it all so much better , sitting here in Ireland having a few beers at night dreaming of some day visiting Oshkosh !! Happy days as a child watching Ba Ba Black Sheep on TV here...RIP Pappy !!!!.....cheers Jim
WoW Corsair has always been my favorite and I know much about it, but Jim has enlightened me on a few new items, Very informative and interesting Owner/ Pilot.. Great Video also. Hope to see this Gorgeous Corsair Next Year at Oshkosh, it's been 45 years so i thought it was time to go back....
OMG... what a great walk around. Had a F4U4 in our hanger in El Toro for a bit. Was slated to for static display... wish I poked around it more. Talked to a guy at our airshow that spent MILLIONS dragging one out of the jungles of the Philippines and restoring.... amazing. As we all know.... El Toro Airshows were the BOMB!
Hello and Good evening Eric Johnston from central Florida. As a "Warbird lover" and overall aviation enthusiast I want to say thank you for the work in putting forward this video. my best friend and I saw Jim Tobul and his beautiful F4U-4 at Sun-n-Fun in Lakeland FL several years ago. My what a heart pounding exhibition he gave. The Corsair remains my favorites Navy and Marine Corps aircraft from it's period. You see I was a young teen thoroughly 'hooked' on the exploits of Greg Boyington and VMF 214 as portrayed by Robert Conrad in the TV series Baa Baa Black Sheep. Ah. The deep throaty rumble of the R-2800 P&W. Mr. Tobul obviously knows that airplane and the opportunity to see him demonstrate that Corsair's capabilities is most definitely NOT wasted time.
Probably the very best video I have ever seen produced regarding a particular airplane. The videography is superb and Jim’s knowledge and commentary is outstanding. Kudos to both of you for an interesting and entertaining video !
Wow I just started watching and all of a sudden the hour was gone. What a great experience this is. I thought I knew a lot about my favorite plane but Jim's detail walkaround is so neat. Erik, the proper use of the camera and light and operator intelligence show clearly in this video. What a great job. Thanks for this.
Beautiful ship and fabulous walk around with a really knowledgeable "teacher" (aka pilot). I'm not a pilot but I've been an airplane nut all my life and have worked on many types of military aircraft. However, Jim has pointed out several features of aerodynamics about which I was unaware, a couple of which are unique to the Corsair. Love this aircraft and thanks for the tour.
Phenomenal presentation! As the son of a naval aviator (WWII, Korea) I thought I knew a lot about the Corsair, But Jim Tobul really brings it alive. Well done.
THANK YOU!! AMAZING!The F4U Corsair is my all-time Favorite plane, and this video is Awesome! Informative and Enjoyable!! Thanks for uploading & sharing this. You can't find a better or more thorough video on the Corsair than this! Thanx, Much Appreciated!
My dad flew F4Us in VMF-215 in the Solomons. He said they were so slick that when he checked out for the first time it took him 8 passes before he could slow it down enough to land. I have every book ever printed on the Corsair but Mr. Tobul still showed me several things I didn't know. Great video!
Wow, what a great, informative video. Also, what a surprise that this plane flew off the Happy Valley. My Dad was on the Valley Forge during the Korean Conflict.
This is an excellent video on my favorite WWII plane, the Corsair. I learned so much more from this video than all the others I have watched. You made my day my friend. Thank You and God Bless !
Thanks for the walk around. I'm too money challenged to be in the aviation game at all but I've always been fascinated with these old war planes. Especially the Corsair. When I was a kid I would watch the show Baa Baa Black Sheep with my dad and always loved those gull wings.
This is OUTSTANDING! I am glad you honor both the Boxxer and Valley Forge. It's the right thing to do. It also warms my heart to hear that your father was a part of this. I hope you preform for many years to come. Thank you so much for the tour I did learn some new things. I laughingly (sort of) tell people that I am reincarnated from a WWII pilot in the Pacific who flew Corsairs. It's the only explanation I have for a love from age 8 that I have for them.
My favorite plane ever! It is my literal goal to fly one one day! I just got my private pilots license, and I hope to fly for the Navy one day to continue the legacy these pilots left before us! I hope and pray it works out and that I can fly a (or in) a Corsair.
My Dad flew F4U's from 1943 to the end of the war in VMF224 and his brother was also with him. He had the choice to stay Navy and fly Hellcats or go to the Marines and fly corsairs which was what he wanted. He had 3,500 hours by the time the war ended.

I love you guys, people these days just do not have a clue, don’t stop, we can rest when God speaks it.
Peace Brother, peace
A beautiful bird is. Great story.
Thank you to your dad for his Service and Bravery.
As with my uncle, being 93 now, who flew in WW2 for the New Zealand air force in a squadron 17' squadron then the 22nd in the islands, call the Kekapo's, a deadly new Zealand spider. He is loosing his eyesight but am so proud of him.
N nnnbbbvvvgt is the 5
What a nice guy, Mr. Jim Tobul!! How beautiful the way he explains to us!! How he lives and feels his Corsair !! Wishing him always good and pleasant flights and good landings!!
Man what a great video. This pilot was very generous with his time and information. Loved every second of it.
Jim Tobul makes this work. Articulate without being caught up in technical details. Not all interviews go this well. Nicely done to both of you.
This is a man that LOVES his aircraft. Thanks for sharing!
I was an aviation electrician in VMF351 during the Korean War, serviced the Corsair and other aircraft. It is an amazing aircraft, loved it.
Thank you for your service
I've always loved the Corsair. It's absolutely beautiful!
Same here!
Excellent walk-around. Love the focus on seemingly minor mechanical details that gearheads live for.
My all time favourite, beautifuly presented!
One of the best warbird videos I have ever seen, and the Corsair is such a beautiful airplane.
Thank you so much for the walk around and your time.
The best Corsair walk around I have seen. Jim clearly knows and loves his Corsair. More power to you Jim. It's 7:30pm in Stdney, I'm 31 minutes in but I have scotch so I'll stay until the end and my darling wife just told me that my dinner is in the oven, and it's a salad. Thank God for take-away.

I met a 93 year old Corsair pilot today. He was shot down in the Korean War. One of the most interesting people I’ve ever met.
He had to have been there after I was. I don't think there were 20-21 year old Corsair pilots the first few months of the war. The pilots I heard on the radio sounded like old raunchy Marines.@@delam

My dad was in Korea… he loved this plane, said the marine pilots were always looking out for guys on the ground.

They know that every Marine is a Rifleman.
Semper Fi
Outstanding walk-around by Jim. What an awesome airplane. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, and all your efforts to preserve this beautiful and important piece of history !
Thanks for the most detailed walkaround I've seen on the Corsair..I had an old friend that flew them off carriers in WWII, always loved hearing his stories.
Amazing video and living history. Thank you for your time
Excellent tour of a great aircraft. Thanks very much.
Haha, glad you liked it my friend!! Thanks
Aircraft and the pilot, both immaculate and articulate. This was/is one of your top interviews. Really enjoyed all the details. Thanks for sharing!
Love the Corsair and his excellent presentation. The best part is how happy he is. Can tell he loves this.
I half expect to see Robert Conrad climb into the cockpit. Love this plane, and the looks are just perfect with that gulled wing! Beautiful plane.
..well, at least he has a Robert Conrad flight suit!... :)
With Red West saying which aircraft is yours College Boy,? Wrong College Boy they're all mine and God help you if you break it. Do you hear me College Boy?

Thanks man! This was a fun one to make! Last nights show was fun with some good friends
@@ErikJohnston it is my dream to actually fly that beast. Sadly, I’m in a wheelchair, so I’ll never do that
Thank you so very much for the walk around
You are so welcome
Great walk-around. Love the Corsair.

Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
Such a informative show, great video quality too. Love the program, thank you. Never realized the could fly to 42,000 ft...
wow! thank you for being so thorough, love your enthusiasm for your aircraft. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great video, thanks much! Really enjoyed all the details, both as a warbird fan and sim pilot. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm in love with this particular Corsair. The number " 416 ", was my old identifier when I worked towing and recovery.
That was a wonderful detailed talk on the airplane thank you
I sat back and cried when I saw this today I was so happy that somebody put this out there I work for art during this time and new Joe and Gordon very well traveled with them all never Mets get bulk as he was already gone by then but I did get a chance to work on his chipmunk when we got it for art a lot of super memories I'll never forget guys like Charlie Gene and Tom
Leo and Bob the Applebee's Roy Sprague and Jim Lasley a time I'll never forget these names will live on forever I thank God for giving me the time and the chance to know them all and many more I hope David gets a chance to see this video to miss you too.
This is added to the wrong video it was supposed to be with the Joe Hughes and the super steering video I apologize I hope all see that video too

One of my favorite planes since I was a child. Always been drawn to the beauty of it.
Thank you for your tutorial. Fly high
Great overview of the F4U! Thank you for taking the time to show us the features of this airplane.
I fell in love with this aircraft when I was young and watching "BA BA Black Sheep"
Beautiful plane…thank you for your time sir!
41,000' ceiling! Jim was a terrific educator. Friendly, thorough and easy to follow.. Thank you again Erik. Awesome video!
As an airline aircraft technician for the last 32 years, that was a very thorough and well detailed tour of your aircraft. Well done.
It's a learning experience love all he talked about
Thank you for the tour. Amazing plane and an amazing pilot.

Absolutely magic, love the Corsair, brilliant. Thank you.
Great video. I used to work in the factory where Chance Vought built 6,675 Corsairs in Stratford, CT.
Phenomenal presentation! As the son of a naval aviator (WWII, Korea) I thought I knew a lot about the Corsair, But Jim Tobul really brings it alive. Well done.
Incredible explanation. Thanks JT for sharing your knowledge.
Excellent explanation of the beautiful Corsair, I remember Pappy Boyington Baa Baa Black Sheep
THANK YOU!! AMAZING!The F4U Corsair is my all-time Favorite plane, and this video is Awesome! Informative and Enjoyable!! Thanks for uploading & sharing this. You can't find a better or more thorough video on the Corsair than this! Thanx, Much Appreciated!

She's a real lady Jim! Thanks! love this bird it has always been my favorite!
Such a beautiful machine. Great video , presented by a very sympathetic pilot. Many thanks for the tour, much appreciated.
Wow, what a great, informative video. Also, what a surprise that this plane flew off the Happy Valley. My Dad was on the Valley Forge during the Korean Conflict.
This is an excellent video on my favorite WWII plane, the Corsair. I learned so much more from this video than all the others I have watched. You made my day my friend. Thank You and God Bless !
Absolutely wonderful. Watched this with my 10 year old son. Tactile reality of our fight for freedom.
Cool he says.
Real proud of that Plane is beautiful beautiful!
This Plane is gorgeous.
Thanks for the walk around. I'm too money challenged to be in the aviation game at all but I've always been fascinated with these old war planes. Especially the Corsair. When I was a kid I would watch the show Baa Baa Black Sheep with my dad and always loved those gull wings.
Thanks so much for your presentation. I have never heard anyone explain the F4U as you have. Good job!
Thank you for this outstanding walkaround! You can tell this man loves his Corsair! And we're envious ;)
I loved this walk. Around
Favorite plane of all time. Thanks Erik!!
Thanks so much for doing this video. I learned so much that I never knew before. Thanks to your family for preserving this legend.
This is OUTSTANDING! I am glad you honor both the Boxxer and Valley Forge. It's the right thing to do. It also warms my heart to hear that your father was a part of this. I hope you preform for many years to come. Thank you so much for the tour I did learn some new things.
I laughingly (sort of) tell people that I am reincarnated from a WWII pilot in the Pacific who flew Corsairs. It's the only explanation I have for a love from age 8 that I have for them.
My favorite plane ever! It is my literal goal to fly one one day! I just got my private pilots license, and I hope to fly for the Navy one day to continue the legacy these pilots left before us! I hope and pray it works out and that I can fly a (or in) a Corsair.
The Corsairs are amazing very very intelligent men and ladies that put these planes together
Awesome , My brother was stationed on the Valley Forge late 50s , Thanks Erik😀
