That must be a Pratt and Wittney radial engine like the Thunderbolts, I'm inclined to think that the in-line engines like the Allison and RR Merlin were better for long range missions due to less aerodynamic drag and water cooling.
Yessir and I have a cousin who is still buried with his Corsair near the island of Palau...USMC fighter pilot.....made the ultimate sacrifice for his country along with a lot of his fellow Americans from all services and This might not sound Right but I am glad he is not alive to see what the traitor biden has done to the America my cousin and thousands of other's have died for.
True Statement. 👍 the Japanese called it the whistling death. Because when it was diving in on targets it made a whistling sound and was very effective in killing enemy both in the air and on the ground.
@@cliffnelson1174 Yes sir, what's left of Biden's brain has been hijacked by the far left lunatics. I figured when Biden won this election our country would head in the wrong direction, but I never figured it would happen this fast. Biden has not only made the United States of America unsafe, but his foreign policies have made the whole world unsafe.
My Dad was a Aircraft Mechanic during WWII and the Korean Conflict. And my Aunt was a Corsair Assembler at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Blimp Hanger here in Akron , Ohio.
Hopefully he wasn't trained by one of my old relatives, lol. I heard my old relative died in a Navy training accident and he was the instructor. It's all dangerous stuff. Basically a miracle if you do make it out alive. @@cliffnelson1174
That's my favorite WWII fighter. It was well used by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater. The Corsair was also used by some of our allies as well in the European theater. Later versions were also used in the Korean conflict in the 1950's. Such a very strong plane with a beautiful design.
And it is the only World War II fighter that continued production after World War II. The F4U Corsair was also credited with shooting down a Russian mig 15 during the Korean War conflict. 12,571 Corsair's were produced.
@@randycoursey7230 I built some at Chance Vought Aicraft , Stratford, CT, 1948. On a production line, everyone does their bit. I closed trailing edges of flaps.
Prolly the coolest experience you’ve had at an airshow. My coolest experience was when a B-2 Bomber was flying above and heard about the show and asked for permission to flyby and they flew by really slow but really low too and to this day it’s prolly one of the loudest aircraft I’ve ever heard and it’s impressive that it can make someone deaf when it’s only going a fraction of its full speed love the vid ❤️.
My grandfather was a pilot in the S. Pacific for the Black Sheep Squadron during WW2. He got out afterwards because they started using rockets and he didn't think that was "sporting".
They had to use the inverted gull-wing design to accommodate the massive propeller’s diameter (13’ 1-4”) and keep the main landing short and sturdy. Brilliant design.
351, Why are f4u Corsair wings bent? The Chance Vought Corsair's unique bent or inverted gull-wing design was driven by two needs: a bigger propeller to make full use of the powerful Pratt & Whitney R2800 Double Wasp engine, and the need for shorter, more stout landing gear appropriate to the Corsair's intended use as a U.S. Navy carrier-based aircraft. Anything else I can help you with?
I saw this old WWII vet here on You Tube talking about flying his Mustang, "on the deck", when asked how low that was, he said, "about 10 feet off the ground, just so you can start to see the propeller dust" (at 300+ MPH) they did that all the time too. at about age 22, I think he was. He made it out alive.
I can’t imagine how relieved and fired up the WW2 marines would get when two of these fly low overhead while firing machine guns and/or rockets turning a Japanese fighting position to slag.
This happened to me at an air show in Victoria TX about 30 years ago. Wife and I were walking in front of the grandstand in the grass when all of the sudden not only a Corsair came flying over us from behind about 60 feet of the ground but also a P51 Mustang. Had to go to the nearest port a potty and clean my underwear out.
Definitely among the fastest World War II fighters, the F4U Corsair. I believe it was the first World War II fighter to top 400 mph. It would end up reaching speeds of over 450 mph. And it was a fighter bomber. Against the Japanese zeros it had an 11-1 kill ratio.
My father served with the Fleet Air Arm during WW2 in the Pacific aboard HMS Glory with 1831 Squadron who flew Corsairs. He still remembers witnessing the Japanese surrender signing taking place on the flight deck when the carrier was off Rabaul.
My Dad, was a USMC radio repairmen, he was sent to fix Corsair radios on Iwo Jima, after it was secured, he was there for a very short time, the Marines belief that all Marines are Riflemen, to he was transfered to the 26th Marines, 6th Marine Division for the invasion of Okinawa. He loved Corsairs because he worked on them and trained on them until his passing on to his reward in 2011, he was 87 and always a Marine.
Number 2 was the best of them, how many on site felt the need to do the number 2 when it went over their heads. Would have been nice to be there, on the first run, it felt like looking DOWN into the cockpit! Nmbr one was that from 8 years ago!
@@TomokosEnterprize yeah that’s obvious. Amazing job. But my main point is the technology behind the plane is so old. It’s an amazing achievement for back then.
@@chookvalve Every time I see one takes me back to a TV show called "The Black Sheep" A weekly show with Robert Conrad as "Pappy Boington" that lead a group in WWII in the Philippines fighting the Japanese. Great times for my young mind at the time.

That probably even put a smile on Pappy Boyington face looking down , loved the Corsair !!!
No mistaking those wings. I sooooo love the sounds these elderly planes emit.
They may be old, but they're by no means elderly
@@indyjoe36ify I hear you my friend.
@@indyjoe36ify Yeah. Have some respect for the elderly!
In WWII, the Japanese pilots who tangled with the F4U Corsair referred to it as the "Whistling Death."
That must be a Pratt and Wittney radial engine like the Thunderbolts, I'm inclined to think that the in-line engines like the Allison and RR Merlin were better for long range missions due to less aerodynamic drag and water cooling.
Holy crap, that was even better! What an experience that must have been.
That must've been truly something, you can feel the WW2 piston power from the screen.
The Marines used the F4U Corsair to help defeat the Japanese in WW2.
Yessir and I have a cousin who is still buried with his Corsair near the island of Palau...USMC fighter pilot.....made the ultimate sacrifice for his country along with a lot of his fellow Americans from all services and

Wind flying through the wing air intakes caused the whistling sound.

Mine too
I sure love these planes.

@@rogerbee697Hey Roger 351 is just pulling your leg , roll with it
My late Dad's (a WWII plane captain) favorite plane from when he was in the U.S. Navy. Very cool vid.
I had a friend who was a pilot of Navy Corsair aboard the USS Coral Sea during WWII
Coral Sea was commissioned after WW2.
that was better than the first one! Must have been incredible in person. Thanks for sharing
When everyone is that happy over a flyby, then its a good flyby.
What an awesome, and beautiful aircraft!

One of the most beautiful flying machines ever made. Doing the FAA would like that pass though.
Go to specsavers
Can you imagine coming in like that and opening up with six 50 calibers.
My Mom worked for Chance Vought making Corsairs during WWII
I worked at the Stratford, CT plant Jan-July 1948.
My father flew those in Korea, loved them.
I don’t know why but I’ve always loved the F4U Corsair.
Wow love those things
F4U and P51D my absolute favorites
modern day jets don't give me goosebumps like watching those vintage planes.
0:20 That's an evil villain laugh right there.
Awesome as that is, that was a really risky pass right over the crowd like that.
That would be a violation in the US
I wondered if he meant to be that low.
OK... that was BAD ASS!
Folks ahhh... you have a list of favorites... Reminder
THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT - AS IT SHOULD BE! 😍
Holy smoke, that was amazing! Great video!
My favorite aircraft, ever! EVER!!! I'm envious
My dad made engine parts and my mom welded drop tanks for Corsair and Thunderbolts in WW Two
This is called flyby #2 not because it was the second flyby but because of what it made the spectators do involuntarily in their pants.
Best flyby video I have seen in a while.
Thanks! The 3rd pass was great, as well.

Love it wish I could hear one whistle in real life.
It is totally awesome, more of howl than a whistle though. “Whistling death” just sounds cooler 😁
I hope you get a chance to go to Osh Kosh this year. I went last year and heard one for the first time. Really impressive.
@@coffeeseven when does that happen?
@MEs61 thats a cool video
Holy sheeeeeeee-----s Louise!! That was funny!
In my eyes it was the best looking and has the performancs to back up those looks
Absolutely great video. thank you.
Now this is a GREAT video!!
Now THAT was a haircut!
Just one super cool fighter plane. Somethings don't age all that much.
We were there that day; You can see me filming furthest out at the end of the pass.
That sure hit the giggle switch!!! Good fun that is!
The Japanese called it “Whistling Death!”
Man alive! That was fast!
Bloody fantastic!🇬🇧
Not sure that complies with FAA regulations, but it's fun to watch!
Screw the FAA
"Whistling Death" is what the Japanese called them.
VMF-214! We miss you pappy..
They're nervous laughing, cause they know DEATH just stopped by out of nowhere, and winked at them..........Pretty dangerous what that pilot did.
That was great. I love the Corsair.
Espectacular!!! 👏👏👏
Sounds like 10000 enemy simultaneously messing their drawers.
"Whistling Death"
Beautiful plane
Number 2 was the best of them, how many on site felt the need to do the number 2 when it went over their heads. Would have been nice to be there, on the first run, it felt like looking DOWN into the cockpit! Nmbr one was that from 8 years ago!
Yes, all from the same day in 2013.
Just imagine that coming at you spitting lead.
boy he 'beat up' the field on that one
This was 10 years ago. I was there.
11 years ago. I was there.
What airfield was that? It looks like somewhere in TGN (The Great Northwest).
I was there for this flyover.
Love those things
Could you imagine trying to get your gun aimed in front of it as it flew by?
Fun to freeze frame. Crystal clear.
Awesome plane and awesome sound but wait till the FAA gets a hold of that pilot…he will be in for a little talk ….big no no!
Made tingles run up my back !
I blinked!
Somebody may have made their last demonstration flight.
Awesome, wouldn't want to be the enemy. 78 yr. Old air craft. Appx.
That was awesome !
Fantastic.
Serious machine!
How can be almost 80 years old? Amazing
Lovingly cared for and maintained.
@@TomokosEnterprize yeah that’s obvious. Amazing job. But my main point is the technology behind the plane is so old. It’s an amazing achievement for back then.

@@TomokosEnterprize I used to put that to air in 1979. Great TV series.
@@chookvalve They made it soooo realistic a young fella could miss not being there eh. Especially the cigar chewing mechanic. Great fun for sure.
Still fast . Wow who needs a jet
I would love to see this
They had it turned up to eleven on that pass
Never too old if he is still flying they can still take his licence
Talk about getting a haircut!🤣🤣
Whistling Death
That was great.
Whistling Death is what the Japanese called them.
Whistling death!
I believe the Japanes called it " Whistling Death "
I heard the whistle that run!
Very Nice !!!
Damn shes beautiful🙂
My favorite airplane.
holy shit that was amazing
Jaw-dropping!
An F-16 did that around that same altitude. Mushy eardrums after that, but very worth it
Bad ass!!
Badass!! ❤❤❤❤
American civilians: Oh Jeez! this is beautiful.
Japanese soldiers: Oh shit! Whistling death!
This wasn’t 5 months ago. It was 10 years ago, I was there.
In the description.
Awesome. 😀🇺🇸👍
