Beating up the St Barts skies (with no music)

At the fans request, I removed the music track from the St Barts flybys.
Hope you enjoy this one more, and will follow my channel. There are a lot of great videos here.
I have been working in aviation video for 25 years and have been fortunate to capture some memorable shots.

Cool isn't it?

[@Stobb0]

It’s all the shit! Every single one of them!! Unbelievable!!!

[@Mike-01234]

Could hear that whistle sound not sure if that is the turbocharger, or some gunports on the wings making that noise.

[@Tacticaviator7]

@@Mike-01234 Supercharger you mean, I'm quite sure that would be it, since the gunport wheeze usually happens when the plane's flying at higher angles of attack.

[@calburnIII]

Much rather hear the engine noise than someone’s idea of “appropriate” music-love it!

[@T4A4EV]

Thank you for listening to us all and removing that dreadful and completely inappropriate music - this is now a 'goosebumps' video, bloody perfect engine soundtrack.

[@badgerbait8351]

That F7F Tigercat was pretty amazing.

[@michaelrunnels7660]

Steve Hinton was flying it.

[@cyclingbutterbean]

The Corsair was pretty wicked too.

[@eg395]

@@michaelrunnels7660 No way! Really? Met him at Oshkosh years ago!

[@ivatt442]

@badgerbait8351 there were two F7F’s flying - a silver one and a dark blue one - which one Steve Hinton was flying I’m not sure? It looks like him in the silver plane, but he usually flys the blue machine!

[@ivatt442]

@michae which one? There’s two - silver machine first then the Navy Blue one which I think he normally flys!?! But it does look like him in the silver plane?

[@greenbriar07]

It never crossed my mind that St. Barts would be able to host an airshow with historic planes like these. Totally rad! 😃

[@michaelpowell3980]

now that's an airshow! No vera lynn, no cosplayers, no stupid music or commentary, just ridiculously macho muscle planes beating up the runway! absolutely awesome!

[@sanseijedi]

The way it should be and NO talking from ground spectators, just the sweet sounds of the "round loud ones" in the words of a C47 pilot I knew. I'm very grateful.

[@AndreA-ke2id]

Gone from bottom to top of my list without the music. Appreciate you taking on board our views and re-posting 👏

[@pascalnelson9034]

The sound of the engines and the slip stream noise is music to my ears. Thank you!

I didn’t watch the video with music, but this is music..amazing sounds 👍🙂

Needs to be played at full volume 👍😁

[@DeereX748]

That F7F Tigercat sounds incredible.

[@ivatt442]

@DeereX748 - two Tigercats - silver one first followed at the end of the video by a Navy Blue one, which I think is the one Steve Hinton usually flys!

[@glennllewellyn7369]

[@chuckeberth4370]

Nothing better than the sounds of the radial engines. Great video.

[@Boscopcoletrain11]

Thank you for not playing Crazy Train through terrible speakers like they do at most air shows. We’re there for the planes, not production value so thank you.

[@steveward4509]

Loved that tigercat

[@ivatt442]

@steveward4509 - there were two Tigercats! - 1 silver and 1 dark blue!

[@J2Cormack]

I love it that we could hear just the engines and NO music or crowd noise! It's great!

[@georgemallory797]

I wish, when I was 20, that I had had more appreciation for what I saw at my first airshow. It was 1987 and it was the High On Kalamazoo airshow. They did a flight of all the Grumman "cats." The F-14 was straining to stay in formation with the rest of them and was at the height of its popularity. It's only in the last 18 years (since the Tomcat was retired) that I really have a true appreciation of what I saw.

[@scottfw7169]

And just think, LeRoy Randle Grumman was a USN Lieutenant who was talked in to resigning his commission by aircraft manufacturer Grover Loening and going to work for Loening. That 'LeRoy' is how Grover Loening spells the name in his 1968 book Takeoff Into Greatness. It is worth reading.

[@randygravel2057]

You imagine they navigated across oceans and found a little island, dropped a bomb, then navigated home to another small island all with out gps. You weren’t done working until you stepped out of the thing

[@PsRohrbaugh]

Island? Imagine carrier based aircraft.

[@doomey22a]

Man that Zero just zips along so quick

[@RobertoEarnywho]

is that a real zero? i mean it probably is , but wow thats a rare beast.

[@hiswill1977]

The roar of the radial never will be out of style!! The skill of these pilots is amazing as well they make it look like a low pass is NO problem. Lots of briefing and prep!

[@caseyjones8203]

Thank you for no music, the engines are the music, thank you!!

The only non radial in this lineup was in the P-40 and it was powered by an Allison V12.

Only If That's A P-40F & I Can't Tell. Even Then It Would've Been A Packard Built Merlin Under License & There Weren't That Many Compared To Other Models.

I absolutely love the music you chose, and the rest should use the same 'music'. Seriously. Everybody knows that aviation videos only require the exhaust and props slappin' the air, for it to be audibly delicious!

Who needs music, when you have the "music" of big radials and a V12, thanks for posting this.

[@Springbok295]

I lost a family relative who served on B-25s. He was a radio operator based at an airfield near Calcutta (Chakulia?) in 1943. His plane went down from IJN AA fire as they were bombing Japanese merchant shipping in the Bay of Bengal.

[@tmac709]

Wow! That was a cool video of those old warbird's. I love watching those old warbird's from the past!

[@Nivola1953]

This….This was really amazing, a Zero, a TBF Avenger and a F7F Tigercat are just rare sights at any airshows, having these and the other classics low passing the Saint Bart runway, was epic!

[@tscott6843]

Sounds as great as it looks. Thank you!

[@DragonNo1]

Beautiful (without music)! Thank you!

[@crawford323]

I wonder where the pilots attended the air show briefing because it certainly wasn't anywhere near that famous runway. Which ones of those beautiful birds could have landed and departed there not to mention the risk of bending those rare crafts. As a lifelong professional photographer, a pilot and the owner of three aircraft none younger than 1947, I was hired to photograph the cockpits of some very rare aircraft from WW1 through the Korean War. Once such was a P-47. Its massive cockpit swallowed my rather short 5'4"frame. One of the placards read," Make no turns under 130 mph." The torque of those monster engines would over power the flight controls. I expect what ever limits on speed were waved to the joy of these pilots. This is the finest parade of planes I've ever seen including Oshkosh.
