  • Weather kept us away from Oshkosh, but Saturday turned nice at the TN Museum of Aviation, so we had a nice flight. Take-off and about 13 min of helmet cam until the camera fell off it's mount. I need to improve my setup a bit. Enjoy.

    Crazy how we thought of a way to get 8 tons to move gracefully

    One of the safest fighters of WW2. The Jug could take a savage beating from the best of the Luftwaffe and still get it's pilot back to base. The P51 might have been slightly better overall in performance but it couldn't take anywhere near the beating a P47 could endure. One round into the P51's liquid cooled Merlin and it was over. P47's were known to have cylinders shot out of it's Double Wasp radial engine and still make it back to base.

    Brilliant! Thanks for posting this. My great uncle Manuel Alvarez flew jugs and has since passed on. I was very fond of him and we always connected over airplanes. The D model with the bubble was his favorite.

    My favorite aircraft. A girlfriend's father flew a P-47 in Europe during WWII, painted with the black & white invasion stripes. Robert Johnson's book, "Thunderbolt" is an excellent read.

    John! I was just reminiscing and thought I'd try TH-cam and preston! You used to come into our little antique shop in Oak Ridge! That was about 2000. You were just healing up from jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. I still have my favorite Christmas card hanging over my desk! I'm sure you remember Santa in his P47. Great to see you so healthy! I smile every time I think of you!

    Dear Sir.
    Thank you for your beautiful video. I'm going to send as a link your video on IL2 forum to show people how good P-47 was in climbing. Could you be so kind and tell us what block-version exactly is?
    Is it D-28 or something else? I still know not much about differences between D model versions so I would like to be sure.
    Best regards HOLY

      @@303HOLYONE During this flight it was likely nearly full on the main but less than 25gal on aux. It's normal to fly to an airshow and burn the aux down to 20 or so and then do the show on the main, usually topped off since the Thunderbolt just doesn't care. Thanks for the interest.
