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.

Fun fact:The f4u's landing gear was designed to be especially strong to be used as an additional airbrake.
True, in that case it would be extended without the tailwheel. Nice engineering.
the doppler effect is so damned cool on this video
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen, toller Sound und ein ausgezeichneter Pilot, butterweich aufgesetzt, Klasse Georg!
Beautiful. Love the Corsair. It's always a pleasure to see this tough rugged metal bird. One of many best of Vought industries. Love that radial engine sound. One of the very best and a favourite of mine. Plenty models of this Aircraft to build. Fantastic.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
That guy knows his way around a stick and rudder!..
Als der Motor ansprang, hatte ich sofort Pipitränen😂 in den Augen. Dieser Sound ist eine Ode an die Ingenieurs Kunst.
Paddy Patrone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing like the sound of a Radial Engine!
Back When America WAS Great, and in her Finest Hour, and when things were made to last!
Excellent Pilot! Beautiful Plane, and splendid footage! 👍💪✌😊
What fascinates me most is the technology that made the wings of this aircraft foldable, but without compromising the strength characteristics of the structure.
The wing locking bolt mechanism is surprisingly small. Kinda crazy it can take that load.
Very very serious piece of equipment. These late version Corsairs are incredible machines. The epitome of piston fighter development along with other British superprops
Super props? Name 2!
Watched the film 'Devotion' a few weeks back...damn, those later Corsairs were mean machines...
That's a great sound
I was on the airshow myself too but on Sunday
Thanks for sharing 👍
Uohh, this is an amazing display!
Beautiful machine
magnifique avion, superbe démonstration, que du bonheur!!! merci.
Beautiful.
Just "waooh" !
Great post. Beautiful plane nicely flown. Liked total video including shut down. Thanks.
Baddest Corsair in the air today!!!…the later Corsairs performed considerably better than the early Corsairs…that’s why the FG-2’s never went into production because they just worked so good already!
Running out of Bs. Rough day Zeke?
Love the Corsair. Great video!
Good display performed by Georg Raab
Indeed!
Großartiges Video von einem außergewöhnlichen Flugzeug. Danke für deinen Post.
Immer gerne!
Absolument magnifique
Absolutely beautiful 💪👍
Beautiful Georg!
Tolle Aufnahmen? Super gefilmt!!!
Great audio
A. W. E. S. O. M. E. !!!
Thank you for letting the engine and airflow be your soundtrack. Does the pilot ladder retract manually, automatically or by the ground crew? Saw it was still down as you took off and down when you shut down.
Goes up with the Landing gear
Great plane!!!
Tolles licht und gut einfangen
Danke ✌
Geiler Sound
Wow😍♥️
👍👍👍
Große Klasse 👍.
Gruß Patrick
Nice one! I never understood how those wing latches can be strong enough to not fold
Nice. Wish there were no cuts, but those parts must have been too blurry, I guess. At least there is no music, just raw engine/plane noises
Sometimes I either lost track of the aircraft or the music they were playing in the backround was too loud to cancel it out, so I had to cut out these parts. Sorry for that.
@@PaddyPatrone Great vid. it’s good you shall have something new to film soon when MH415 joins the fleet
I did not realize that the foot step is part of the landing gear. It appears to retract & come down automatic with the landing gear.
Exactly

That 540 Lycoming is mean
The best american fighter of WW 2. Yes- even better than the Mustang. I would choose this plane over any prop fighter in that war.
Great Video. Too bad this version hasn't the deathwistle anymore.
This can variate a lot depending on the version.
@@PaddyPatrone was afaik only with the F4U-3/4
what camera did you film this on?
Panasonic HC X20
🛩👍🏽
Not that bad would i see a Japanese Judy and a P51D Mustang Next.
Please no more Mustangs , they are awesome and cool but we have so much stuff on them already. How about some of the rarer , more obscure planes?
@@guaporeturns9472 I love Mustangs.
@@maxwellwalcher6420 I hear ya , they are a beautiful , kickass airplane. I love em too. I just love others more. Actually very few WWII era aircraft I don’t love.
FALO IGUAL AO "MEME" QUE LINDO CARA🥲2:37
Yeah Mustangs forever?
what guns did this version have ?
4x 20mm cannons
How can it be a night fighter since this plane does not have radar? My dad flew the TBM Avenger in the first night airgroup to fly from carriers during WW ll, (Night Torpedo Squadron 90) and all of the planes in this squadron had radomes on the right wing. You have to have radar to fly combat at night and this Corsair does not have it.
Originaly it had a Radar on the right wing. However, since the Radar pod creates quite a bit of asymmetric drag (which was often compensated with a fuel tank on the left wing) the Radar has not been put back on to it. It`s just a lot easier/better to fly without it as an Airshow warbird.

Lycoming ?
