- There's nothing like hearing the spectacular sound of the Vought F4U Corsair engine up close. Here we have the Corsair starting up, taking off, and doing a low fly-by at Triple Tree Aerodrome!
If you haven't already check out our recent video where we took a closer look and talk a bit about the history of this iconic plane: • A closer look at the V...

Ah the soothing sound of a cartridge starter and a 18 cylinder Pratt and Whitney engine. I love the smell of Pratt and Whitney's in the morning.
Damn straight.
Smells like victory
vry rich mixture on strt up when i watch thisi can smell the exhautcrazy
that wasnt a cartridge start btw
There is no mistaking the sound of a radial engine. Love those old aircraft.
My Father flew the F4U Corsair in WWII as a USMC aviator in the Pacific. I've got a couple of old black and white photos of him in the cockpit.
Grateful for his service. Semper fi!
If he's still living, tell him thank you for me. Truly the greatest generation.
@@michaelboykin9881 Unfortunately no... He would have been 100 today if he were still alive.
One of the most beautiful aircraft ever!
My dad, Edwin Libby, put the first 2 hours on them when they came out of the Goodyear factory in Akron Ohio, where I was born in 1944.
The F4U is poetry
Poetry, art, and emotion. The best dam girl in the sky.
I agree
The most beautiful aircraft of WWII to my eye
Yeah, no doubt about it. Also, the most lethal
Gotta love the amazing Vought F4U Corsair fighter/bomber. I lived in Grand Prairie in 1948 when Chance Vought moved into the former North American manufacturing plant there. Enjoyed watching the Corsair take offs and landings.
I'm from Grand Prairie, and I always loved the Corsair
WOW!!!THE SWEET SOUND OF HISTORY!!!
This is a great vid, TY. My Dad had the tv show Baa Baa Black Sheep on one day, & I fell in love with this plane, & the show too! I could watch Robert Conrad & the Corsair 🤣 I was 14 & female 😅
Somewhere high up above Pappy Boyington is smiling down on all us sayin oh my gosh no sheet nuggets....
12-15 male, watched this also with my dad. Show was my main childhood show. Always hummed at the intro and my dad even bought me the full series on DvD. Glad to see this show recognized more! Casey was my favorite character.
My favorite Pacific Theater aircraft, what a beast!
Brutal tork!
I said this before including in person to Kurt Walton that somewhere high up above Pappy B is smiling down on all of Corsair lovers.
Fleet Air Arm also used these fantastic aircraft. They sorted out their problems and certified their carrier use.....one of the best.
Have never seen one. Most favorite . 2 - p47 T-Bolt and 3- C 47 . It would be neat to see even a wreck of a Coursair . I understand there are so many left of the corsair. Would like to see one before they are gone. Please keep G R Ford Airport in Grand Rapids , Michigan for a show this summer . Please consider. Thanks .
Between these and the P-51Ds, just can’t get enough!!👍👍
This plane in the Pacific, and the P-51 in Europe really helped us along to victory in WWII.
Majestic planes both, and a tribute to American grit and ingenuity when in really counted.
A beautiful take off and landing using flaps. Great sound, beautiful aircraft. JOB WELL DONE.
My God, what a gorgeous bird. Chokes me up!
1:18 that shot .... what a badass airplane!
Nothing quite like the sight and sound of a Corsair. Love that bird.
I once talked with a former Marine officer who flew them during the war. He called the plane a death trap. Always leaking lots of hydraulic fluid. I guess the maintenance where he was wasn't so great...
Finally, after waiting since I was a kid, I finally got to see a F4U Corsair not only fly but take pictures up close. I can now die a happy man! Took my kids to the Warhawk Air Museum Air Show in Nampa, ID last weekend where we saw three P-40 Warhawk's, three different P-51 Mustangs (including the Boise Bee), a P-38 Lightning, a B-25 Mitchell, some T-6's and torpedo bombers and of course the F4U Corsair. So glad I took my kids there to hear the 1940's music and watch these warbirds fly right over us.
That sounds like a blast!!
You should try the, Pensacola Naval Air museum. There are planes from WW1 and WW2 as well as some modern aircraft, such as the SR71. I took my boys back in the early 90s. We also stopped off and visited the USS Alabama, in Mobil Bay.
Nice, I’ve always loved the WW2 vintage fighter planes
I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing one of these beautiful aircraft up close at an air show one time. Amazing! Thanks for the video
That flyby is amazing.
Always loved the Corsair especially as a kid who watched Baa Baa Black Sheep.
As I got older I learned about the difficulties the Corsair had with carrier landings.
Still love the plane!!
So beautiful. We are almost not deserving enough to witness this warbird in all it's grandeur. Watching this beauty take flight makes me wish that jet propulsion was never discovered and Corsairs still ruled the air like they did back in the 1940s. I will always envy those that flew this beautiful fighter in times of belligerence as well as, 80 years later, are able to fly it now as in this video. Thank you for this upload.
Best sounding motor ever
There had been a video that Diamond P sports had of an unspecified carrier at sea 1944 had a flock of Corsairs warming up on deck and taking off. It was that long ago it was on Beta tape early mid 1980s. I had worn that tape out to this day it is my favorite aircraft of all time and my shop & offices is smothered in model Corsairs and RC Corsairs. I am a marine black squadron A-10 pilot. Don't let em fool ya only the AF flies the A-10 that ain't true no more after Iraq. Marines have 2 black Squadrons of em 4 planes each. I flew way over 90 sorties over Iraq. The Navy disqualified me because I am color blind but that leads to other gifts like being able to read a bill board a little less than a half mile away which still blows my families minds and being able to see right thru a camo covered target and detect movement because I might be color blind but I am extremely far sighted. I can totally smoke a target 4 to 6 miles away & not even use electronic sighting. And I truly believe in my heart that Greg Pappy Boyington had my very same handicapped blessings from hearing reading stories about him. One tail of Boyington is the fact he just saw a glint of a little tiny reflection out of the corner of his eye in his canopy window went inverted straight down came back up like rocket ship and smoked a Zero that was after him with a single burst from his guns. Fantasy? No not if he had my eye sight gift not at all. I have high perf vision perception and I could have done such a thing as I am thee one thee only A-10 jock to ever have smoked a soviet made Mig over the Iraq Iran border ever. I saw a glint pulled my flaps and my speed brake jammed the throttle to nil went over on one wing saw the mig and smoked it with my gun not a rocket. The guy blew by me fired one rocket at me way too late. Then his butt was all mine. Boyington was god gifted not just a gifted pilot he had some other attributes other people regular people cannot comprehend. It was not all skill. Some of the skills were gods giftings.
How do you feel about the Hellcat and the thunderbolt? They used the same engine
The sound of an a round engine starting up sends chills up and down my spine. Always have loved that sound.🇺🇸😎
Simply beautiful, the video almost take my mind away of what a deadly machine it is.
😊🙏 The legendary WWII Pacific theatre Vought F4U Corsair " Whistling Death " ... Thank You So Much for making this beautifully edited & concised video for the fans & for sharing it! 🌷🌿🌍✌💜🕊
Amazing that they were able to put that big of a prop on that airframe.
Think the gull wing is how they got that big prop on them...😊
@@gmm6885 The Gull Wings was to make the landing gear shorter and stronger.
The startup sound of the F4U Corsair is reminiscent of a combat seasoned U.S. Marine waking at O'dark thirty before moving out to the next objective
Chilling!!!!
Pretty silly
Somewhere Greg Boyington is smiling down on all of us watching this stuff. I felt a kinship with Greg pappy when I got drafted into Iraq in 2001. I was accused of being him. I am a nonconformist sheet kicker. A man of my own style even begged to be court marshalled just like Greg did in late 1943 at the end of the war just before he was captured he had had enough. Greg I think was captured sometime early in 44 and said he just rode his days out in the prison camp because the Japanese treated him okay knowing how controversial the guy was they were not gonna abuse him that much. Upon his return from capture he told a senator I think was named Rolland to go to hell when the senator wanted to use him as campaign cow Boyington told the Senator to go sheet in his hat. In a bizarre twist Boyington insisted he had constantly been having drinks and meals with one of the Generals that ran the prison camp Yahatshi something I think was the Generals name. Boyington insisted as long as their talks began with the advancements he knew of concerning U.S. Navy war ships they then thereafter continually talked about what their endeavors would be after the war was over. Boyington said Yahatshi said it was too bad his daughter couldn't hook up with a warrior of Greg's stature. Greg wrote in his book he took it as compliment not a come on.
Drafted? Really?
The smell of the fuel and exhaust…
What a beautiful plane! We all talk about the P51, but this is such a great looking plane as well. So many amazing aircrafts from WWII!! The P47, P38, Bearcat and Wildcat just to name a few.
i don't think any other aircraft has managed the astounding level of art and function that this airplane achieved. It looks alive, purposeful, magnificent. great video thank you for posting
Bf-109 emil
The low fly-by looks like what my dad said he did when he buzzed freight trains at night while getting flight hours in his Corsair in WWII…
What a graceful yet powerful piece of American history. Like keeping old steam engines (trains) rolling, keepint these old warbirds alive is equally important. It's preserving a part of American history, an era gone by, which should be preserved and revered at all costs. ❤✌✈
Pure grace in aeronautics.
My dad used to fly a PzL-104 Wilga which also had a big radial engine, although nowhere near as powerful as the Pratt and Whitney R2800 on the Corsair. Every time we took her out I got the job of pulling the prop through 8-10 blades until the oil that had pooled in the lower cylinders had worked through the exhausts and started pouring out on the ground. Even then the start up was always loud and messy and we burned a lot of oil before it finally kicked in.
Nothing sounds as sexy as pistons and propellers. God bless Marines! 30 year Viper crew chief here, still love the sound of horsepower!
I experienced this at an airshow. They are frick’n loud on the ground and in the sky! The amazing thing is you can actually feel the power these engines produce. It takes a special pilot to handle the torque!!
That was pleasant and relaxing. Always will be a cool plane.
One of the most beautiful planes ever built.
I think you can hear the turbo in the beginning of the video. That’s so cool!
That’s a monster with wings! Love it!
The F4U Corsair is one of my favorite warbirds. This is amazing! ❤
Went to a warbird air show and the hairs on my arms and goosebumps when four different planes did a low pass. I'll never forget it. They are loud and that's another good thing about them. Haha
One of the HOTRODS of WW2. Love it.
What a fantastic aircraft.
Imagine a carrier deck full of Corsairs and Hellcats startup together, revving the engine and take off one by one.. what a beautiful day.
Man I love those airplanes.
I always loved the Corsair...What an awesome fighter!! Pappy Boyington was a great aviator, with the Black Sheep squadron!
That’s so beautiful, my god to fly one in WW2, just amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
There wasn’t, nor has there ever been a more beautiful airplane
What a great machine!!!! I love it..............
The beautiful Corsair is one of my favorites! ❤
Excellent video of an excellent subject. Crystal clear video, and no BS. Just great shots of a beautiful warbird - the Corsair, including the three things we all want to see: takeoff, a high speed pass, and landing. Great job.
Saw one of these at air show at Reading airport, PA in 2015. Spectacular!
Best music video ever! Even better with headphones.
Damn, that thing is gorgeous!
Soo beautiful!!!
Beautiful!! The sounds and the vibrations of a radial engine is thrilling!! O miss working on aircraft.
Algún día tendrá yo la oportunidad de volar uno se estos 😎
The old man fought on Okinawa. He loved the Corsair!
A thing of beauty. How in the world could anybody a give thumbs down to this video?!?!?
An incredibly beautiful machine.
Wow! That was so cool!
To me, this is the F14 of WWII. Beautifully Majestic when on the Tarmac... Sinisterly Lethal in the Air.
I love how the Tail starts to lift before the plane even takes off! The Corsair used the same basic engine as the P-47 Thunderbolt only the Corsair was supercharged ( crankshaft driven between the engine and the )cockpit and the Bolt was turbocharged
I love when these big radial monster's crank up
Love the sound of the R-2800 Double Wasp at idle. And the F4U is one of my favorite warbirds. I also love flying my RC model versions of them too, don't let them get too slow in the turns to approach for landing or they'll bite you, other than that they always astonish me.
Absolutely beautiful aircraft and the sound of a radial engine ❤
Great aircraft but boy oh boy was it hard landing on the carriers!
Aren't they all!
“Hose Nose”
Only before the strut issue was corrected and the Brits figured out the proper landing approach. After that it was no harder to land than anything else.
Go Pros were not made for Corsairs landing gear.
What a beautiful sound and sight !! Thanks.
Ohhhh the sound of FREEDOM,
Sounds so good. All the best from England chaps!
Makes my heart race when it goes by low and fast.
Best looking’ and one of the most fierce fighters of World War II” Loooooove these aircraft!!!!!💖💖💖💖🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼👍👍👍👍
Those radial engines are unreal
how cool! Love the video!! Imagine being on the ground in the Philippines and seeing your flyin friends buzz over. Talk about a morale booster!
Thank you Marine that I never heard that sound and that I’m around to hear that old Coursair crank up! Airedale Navy 4life
that is my dream, right there...
Ours too!
Wow,man it sounds great.that looks like Arnold's field between Big Sandy,and Camden,Tn.i looked every time but never saw a Corsair.
It is a Beauty
They are awesome aircraft always liked them.
If that doesn't give up goosebumps nothing will
Nice shotgun start!
Wasn't it though!
Awesome! No other word fits.
Sheer aviation beauty
That is one beast of an aircraft
My favorite WWII fighter! Was 416 one of the planes used in Black Sheep Squadron tv show?
@@johnklatt3522 thanks John
That is one sexy lady. Whistling Death was a fitting name especially if it was after you
@@johnklatt3522 thanks John
Jim's Corsair here wasn't on the show. There is another F4U-4B that was in it which is still around. That one is 97359. Flew in Korea, Black Sheep Squadron TV, and was flown as #205 in the upcoming movie "Devotion" based off Adam Makos' book (Tom Hudner's plane). It flies under a new scheme now since it was reunited with a pilot who flew it in Korea. They painted it to look like as he flew it.
Beautifully shot and edited video
Remembering Foss, Boyington, and all the others who flew one of the best aircraft ever flown. The magic and the danger endures forever.
Someone who knows how to shoot props! Good show, mate! Cheers . . .
The Corsair really does have a huge snozz, I can empathize.
Bro🤣
Hose nose!
Yeah I resemble that remark.
The legend
A legend among legends!
@@TheAviatorsTV F4U what? Which variation
AWESOME PLANE!! NICE SOUND!!
The sounds of WW2. Amazing.
One of the most.beauiful. prop planes.what a motor
pretty impressive flying, right down there on the deck!
My brother and I belonged to a boys model airplane club way back during w.w.2 in 1944 in Massachusetts........Every kind of warbird was built in that club, but the most popular model was the F-U-4 CORSAIR WITH THE GULL WINGS......NICE.....
My late Dad flew Corsairs from the carrier USS Bennington (CV-20). He bombed the IJN Hyuga, at Kure harbor in late July, 1945. His wingman (Jory Jorgensen) witnessed the bombing run.
Pappy's 'Cactus Air Force' beast. Semper Fi!
Pappy Boyington is a great hero!
Magine. Being on a carrier...with a. Flight of these....warming up!
Beautiful!!
