    When she came around the corner at speed on a wing tip, BEST PART OF THE VID! This is why I like big girls, sturdy but agile! I'm very glad you guys have her again, she looked so sad sitting alone on the tarmac. Great new scheme, beautiful flying display, CONGRATS!

    It is a pitty that so few of these beautiful beasts are still flying.

      If you go, and check out the website; Warbirdsnews,com, you'll find a series of update reports on a Razorback Jug, being restored by the Dakota Teritory Air Museum, who intends to fly that airframe, instead of letting it be a static display piece, only.

    This is best armored and the hardest warbird for all time....for all ,the enemy ammunition, she was bulletproof ...outstanding.Today no close range (dog fight).

    It was No Guts No Glory when it was in the USA

      It was also over here as 'No Guts No Glory' whilst with The Fighter Collection, before it went to the USA, so it's nice to see it in different scheme.

    This is one of the most beautiful shot take offs and flights of a P47D which was not invented before D Day. 1 you missed the engine start. 2 Landing gear coming up. 3 Landing gear down. 4Taxi in park and shutdown. 5 When will the world realize we want to here the plane not some little plane and DEFINITELY NOT MUSIC

      Thanks. I have film of another flight by this P47 that may satisfy your desire for 1-4? Watch this space!

      The P47D was certainly invented before D-Day. Even the bubble top version, as seen here, was invented and in service by D-Day. Many squadrons still flew the slightly older razorbacks, but most of those were D models by this time. Also he didn't add music, he simply doesn't have superpowers to suppress the background engines and music that the airshow was playing.

      She's usually to be found in one of the museum hangars at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.

    Has anyone ever been to an airshow and escaped the horrible air show music drowning out the sound of those beautiful WarBirds? It's so annoying I want to scream sometimes.

    • @HighFlight
      @HighFlight  5 лет назад +1

      I agree. O have been to some here in the UK recently where the music system packed up - it was bliss. The only other solution is to be lucky and catch the practice displays, but they're rarely 'advertised' in advance!

      High Flight practice days are the best. The day before Flying Legends at Duxford, you can see the practice runs, and watch visiting aircraft arriving, yielding many surprises!

      @@joesantamaria5874 You're so right. I always try and go to the practice and arrivals as well as the shows. They are the best.
