OLD WW2 PROPELLER Airplane Engines ROAR Back to Life! 4

[@donallen7990]

I was a Recip aircraft engine mechanic in the Air Force from 1963 to 1966. I worked on R-1300, R-2000 and R-4360 engines. I love the sound of those radial engines!

[@mercedesvan-doors34]

Friend some years ago, who claims to have no interest in ww2 stuff went to an air show while on holiday in England. There was a Lancaster bomber being displayed. When they were going to take off and do a fly by in it his wife noticed Rich wasn't about and after it had taken off she found him with tears streaming down his face. He said after watching all the old war movies as a lad it was the most beautiful thing he had ever witnessed. He told me he was enthralled but OK until the sound of the engines started to make his chest vibrate in harmony and he couldn't help tear up as it seemed his body was harmonizing with them.

I was driving to a training center for my job years ago that was located near a small airport. Driving by in the morning i looked over and there was a b17 and b25 parked by a hanger! After training i stopped at the airport to check them out and had the opportunity to walk through the b17, very cool. I waited a couple of hours for them to start the planes and leave. Starting that b17 was one of the coolest things ive ever seen, never forget that sound.

Probably part of the Arizona Aerospace Museum. At least that’s what I think it called😂. They fly around the country to let people see those beautiful machines, and if your pockets are deep enough ride in them.

[@rutrutbella600]

Love these ol' planes thanks for showing and thankful they are still around

[@chrislj2890]

For some reason I always loved the T-6 Texan and built a model of one back in the '50s as a kid.

[@muffs55mercury61]

I think World War II model airplanes were their biggest sellers for years. Had two myself.

[@chrislj2890]

@@muffs55mercury61 Yep, I built quote a few, along with the USS New Jersey battleship. But once I got close to driving age it was pretty much all cars, except for an F-4 Phantom.

[@johnking6252]

Ditto, planes & ships for me . Taught me a love for history! 👍

[@darrellborland119]

B-25 quite amazing, it's exploits. The Russians loved their lend lease versions, as they're engines lasted a lot longer than home grown variety. James Doolittle was in a S.J. parade back in 1992, maybe a video of him at that event at around 92 years young. Thanks.

[@kalvinnoble488]

These WWII era aircraft are my most favourite type of aircraft; even those meant for WWII service but never saw action in WWII. Former private and light commerical pilot from Lincoln, New Brunswick Canada.

[@waynevanhardeveld4707]

I think there ought to be a couple of the TBF Avengers that are restored to their fire bomber configuration. It's a cool and important part of their history too.

[@logtolum]

Yes, I recall seeing them very commonly used for firefighting thru the 70's here in BC. Also the Mitchel bombers and A26.

[@keithnoneya]

My grandfather was a B-25 painter at the Lockheed plant in California during the war.

[@muffs55mercury61]

You can be proud.

[@CarsandEngines]

Do you like these Airplanes? :)

[@afterburner2869]

I downvoted you for the clickbait. 🖕🏻

[@Blitz9H]

Yes!!! “Round Sounds” are the best. Love the sound of radial engines.

[@santiagocantuborjas9060]

These beautiful aircraft and the beautiful sound of their engines ❤🥰

[@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe]

Avenger looks like a flying target Coursairs and Tigercats. Thanks!

[@rescue270]

The picture shows a TBM in Canadian firefighting configuration. It wasn't even in the video. The P63 King Cobra was involved in a midair collision with a B-17 at an airshow in Dallas. Both airplanes were destroyed and there were no survivors.

[@edwardpape5819]

Thank you - That's what I was looking for!

[@garymorris1856]

I love these beautiful old aircraft, and I also love steam locomotives.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

*_Beautiful._*

[@owenjones9659]

3:38 isn't this the king cobra that crashed into that b-17?

[@ribaya44]

Hi great video. The 3rd. plane is not a P51, It is an A36 used manly for ground attack. The P51 derived from the A36

[@IncogNito-gg6uh]

The third airplane is the sole flyable P-51A in the markings of the First Air Commando Group. The A-36 was derived from the early Allison powered P-51s. North American was afraid no further orders for the P-51 would be forthcoming and offered up a dive bomber version to keep the line open.

[@justincase1575]

Like them all!

[@muffs55mercury61]

Love the pounding pistons and how they growl when pushed at full throttle. Never cared for jets.

[@flyingfortressrc1794]

Fantastic video

[@roymg]

Thanks.

[@gotchaboi6851]

There is not a better sound in aviation than that of a R-2800 double wasp rotary engine

[@robindenker2504]

Yess!

[@steveh2544]

👍👍

[@rutrutbella600]

Love my skyraider

[@Robert-g2i]

Also there would be flaps in the middle of the plane to make room for the landing gear to go up inside the craft after take-off and then close up

[@CarsandEngines]

Where are you from guys? :)

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

ORIGINALLY: St. Petersburg, Florida NOW: N.E. North Carolina

[@Johnny_Guitar]

Beautiful British Columbia, CANADA

[@les8518]

Strange looking Mustang.

[@kmrtnsn]

Not a P-51, actually an A-36.

[@indridcold8433]

The Gruman Avenger is proof that Garbage Motors (GM) once made a good product. I wonder why they lost their way and started producing the garbage they have today.

[@thendisnye7188]

B-25's were some mean machines.

[@tundralou]

Hard for me to judge things when your so high off the ground

[@Tracy-s2c]

Yes I,m in Athens Texas

[@kmrtnsn]

That wasn’t a P-51, it was an A-36.

[@jamesmusisca7547]

america in WWII was learning on the fly

[@Robert-g2i]

2 things wrong with it, one the Mustang did not have a little air scoop right behind the propellers on top of the engine and also the fuselage did not continue straight back level with the top of the cockpit canopy. the cockpit canopy went up and over and back down.

[@butchs.4239]

That's a early model P-51 in the video. P-51D was the version with a bubble canopy.

[@johnking6252]

I knew every one of them, perhaps I'm a geek ? Hahahaha 🤪

[@electrician248]

I wonder why these Sky Raider war planes never have propellor spinners?

[@alainboyet5663]

Oui !..

[@Robert-g2i]

the one claiming to be a North American P-51 Mustang looks nothing like a P-51 Mustang

[@L8Pilot]

It is an A model. The A-36 Apache was the dive bomber version

[@bulletshark1750]

What's the red-white plane from the thumbnail?

[@massmike11]

I like Pelikan, but for some rason you never mention Pelikan anything

[@PlaidRicky1611]

Watching props that strobe in camera shutter sync is down right annoying.

[@schubertjorg7428]

Ich möchte deutsche Flugzeuge sehen und hören und nicht die Terrorverbreitungskisten von unseren Feinden.
