Aircraft History:
Chance-Vought F4U-5NL Corsair “Devotion”
Particularly noteworthy about this aircraft is that #124541 has a verifiable history. The history can be traced on the basis of the still existing “History Card” (Curriculum Vitae or CV), which was available for all Navy/Marines aircraft. Unfortunately, these CVs have often been lost - not so with #124541.
Following the history card, #124541 flew with “VMF513” over Korea. The “VMF513” is one of the most famous operational units of the U.S. Marines and was nicknamed “Flying Nightmares” at the time. The history card was later provided to MaxAlpha Aviation by the son of the former operational pilot Al Sadeski.
After around 25 years in an Argentinian museum, the aircraft was sold in Argentina in 1991 and then taken to Le Castellet in France in 1994. There, the Corsair was rebuilt over many years of painstaking work. As part of this restoration, the F4U-5 was converted to the F4U-7 series to represent an aircraft of the Aéronavale (the French Navy). The F4U-7 F-AZYS was flown by Ramon Josa, who was a Corsair pilot with Aéronavale during his active service. In keeping with the -7 series, the Corsair was also given a matching serial number, #133704. The F-AZYS was a welcome guest at various airshows and was very well known.
In December 2009, MaxAlpha Aviation GmbH acquired the F-AZYS and the aircraft was transferred to its new home airport in Bremgarten (EDTG) on December 2nd by the aforementioned Ramon Josa. In 2010, the F-AZYS was flown intensively and was also a guest at the “Flying Legends” airshow in Duxford, now with the nose art “Cielito”. After finding out the unique history of this special Corsair, the original condition of the -5 series was restored by MeierMotors and finally painted in its original colors. It was then given the registration D-FCOR, which it still bears today.
In November 2023, Flying Legends GmbH acquired the Corsair. Since then, the D-FCOR has been stationed at Siegerland Airport and is part of the Flying Legends collection.

F4u corsair one of the best plane during the korean war
My dude, your videos are perfect. Everything we want and nothing we don't.
Thanks! @@JPR3D
Certainly no complaints about the quality of the sound!
I'm korean and i like this plane!
I do love the Corsair, one of the most elegant radial-engined fighters! But for some reason, I love the stocky Hellcat even more. 😊
USNR pilots - WWII - reporting to fleet squadrons must have loved the Hellcat's landing manner (compared to the difficult (er - scary) F4U....................
-5 variant - probably the best Corsair of them all.
This is a stunningly cool video! Well done the Pilot and Helpers, and well done the Videographer! Thank you so very much for your obviously favourite maneuverer (twice!), inverted energy swap. Upside down in your Corsair F4U-5NL “Devotion”, where else would you want to be?
Very nice plane and filming, have a Good Day !
Thanks for the description above. I've seen a lot of F4U's but not this one b/4. It's a beauty; like the 20mm guns too.
Gorgeous !
The groundcrew shows him the chocks after he's rolling. Classic.
Mal wieder sehr schön dokumentiert.
Very Cool Sound
Danke für das coole Video!
That is a fine looking bird of prey.
Reminds me of the Tomcat
Flew with his foot hold still down, tut tut
I guess you are referring to the attached ladder/step? That is pulled in automatically with the landing gear going up. If you look closely you can see it at 3:25 .
Would i see a P51 D Mustang Aint Misbehaving and a Pilatus P2 05 ( Indiana Jones ) Start up.
👍🏽
Remember to turn your propeller 7 times to get the oil out of piston chamber 🚜🚛✌️
No worries, they take care of that 😉
At what altitude does the Corsair reach its maximum possible achievable True Airspeed in straight and level flight? Does anyone know? Thanks.
私の、亡き父は、一式戦闘機(隼)のエンジニアだったのです、アメリカ軍の捕虜になって、ビックリしたのはドリル重機と、ユンボを見てビックリしたそうです、
ジープって言う自動車は、飛行機✈️を引っ張る為に出来たそうですね、そしてナチスドイツ軍🇩🇪が砂漠に進行したのでアメリカの軍人さんが砂漠に持って行き走らしたらうまくいったのだそうですね、
I don't like the name referencing a modern, dumb CGI-festival movie. How about historically-accurate color schemes only?
CGI is now a fact of life in film nowadays...l think you should concentrate more on the men who flew these aircraft in combat. In Fact, Steve Hinton did the flying with the two main actors seated in the rear of a Hawker Seafury for the in cockpit shots..also real Bearcats and Corsairs were used besides the use of CGI...
