[@warren4110]

I see so many people asking which aircraft will be at an airshow and, if there are no fast jets, they say they won’t bother going. They really don’t get it!! Wonderful video, thank you! 👏👏

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks mate for your watching and comments, Indeed, classic planes remind us more of aviation with the piston sound and propeller ring.

[@fredtedstedman]

[@jonsobieralski6053]

The P2 brought back memories. My late father was a 26 year USN veteran, I saw quite a few during his career.

[@keithevans5409]

Ditto. My father flew them in RAF Coastal Command.

[@militarymarch3006]

Many years ago, a stream of World War II planes flew directly over our farm on their way to the Air Show at the Wilkes Barre/Scranton airport. It was incredible watching B17s, B25s, and various fighter planes overhead. It was like a trip back in time.

[@billknudson7895]

[@larrymcgill5508]

The P2J was the first U S Navy aircraft I flew in. It was assigned to a reserve squadron at NAS Memphis while I was going through ASW Operator school there. The center fuselage wing spar on the aircraft actually goes all the way through the aircraft and you have climb over the “ hump” to get to the aft section in flight. They only fired up the J60 jets for takeoff and landing, or in our case, when we blew a jug on the number 2 engine and did an RTB. Interesting initiation to Naval Aviation and not my last single engine landing to come, only next time was on the Nimitz.

[@johncrook7705]

Just seen this. Some of the best shots I have ever seen of such iconic aircraft. Brilliant close ups and sounds of such a range and being shown of as they should.

[@stevejohn1843]

Oh so very cool. Made my day! These were magnificent machines. Couldn't take my eyes off the screen, thank you for sharing these warbirds.

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks mate for your watching and comments. I am very glad that you enjoyed it. Piston sound of warbirds are always as legendary as warbirds themselves.

[@dachsundking]

As a kid growing up in the fifties I always admired the piston aircraft . Models were big back then and I always built WWII or WWI aircraft. There is something about the style of the planes, the heros who flew them and noise of radial engines that gets my juices floeing. I can only imagine the thrill of flying one ! As far as jets go....Ho Hum . Great video by the way !

[@paulmorgan6269]

It's all at the wrong speed. What you on about ?

[@Slaktrax]

Spitfire Mark VIII, the best of the Merlin Spits according to Jeffery Quill, Supermarine's Chief Test Pilot. PR XI same airframe (extra fuel) as most Mark IX's were Mark V airframes converted to take the 60 series Merlins to get them issued to the squadrons faster. So were frankly a lash-up, where as the VIII was designed from the ground up for the 60 series.

[@MalDagg]

Great footage...many thanks

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks mate for your watching. I am very glad that you enjoyed it.

[@jeffreymcdonald8267]

The T-28 has a uniquely satisfying sound. The T-6 reminds me the most of the 1950-60's era passenger props that used to fly in and out of my local airport. A sound that rivals any of the old fighter props....the F7F Tigercat.

[@AmbrogioDallacqua]

...bellissimi....grazie !!! 👏👏👏💪

[@AustNRail]

Thought that was Temora (YTEM) where I started my ab-itnitio flight training, finished at Orange (YORG) and went on to Bankstown and the Warnervale (YWVA) where some of this footage comes from. Very cool.

[@philcullis8602]

The Neptune number 272 was definitely a mk 7 from 10 sqdn but when in service it didnt have the under wing rocket launchers. The earlier mk 5 did have them. In addition when in service it was painted light grey

[@Bluepilled-c5t]

the spitfire has the roundel without the red dot , which they removed to avoid confusion with the Japanese red circle.

[@JoanClements-o6z]

Indeed, Thank you for no music. Where was this filmed? We are trying to recognise the surroundings.

[@DrBearAviation]

Piston engines are the best musical instruments! The video consists of clips from a few airports around Sydney Australia and one airport at Auckland New Zealand. For example, Mosquito was taken at Ardmore Airport, Auckland, New Zealand, Sea Fury & Avenger were taken at Warnervale Airport near Sydney Australia, and Neptune was taken at Shellharbour Airport in NSW Australia.

[@Imnotyourdoormat]

[@Uli_Krosse]

Not sure why KZbin decided to pitch me this video FOUR MONTHS LATE. I really liked this one, both video and audio are very good - even though the shutter speed of the camera makes the props look ... weird. :D Thank you!

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks mate for your watching and comments. I am happy that you enjoyed it. For the shutter speed, as I am relatively new in using a proper camera, I am still at the beginning of the learning curve. But for sure I will improve. Thanks.

Bei uns fliegt eine (vermutlich) T6 rum. Immer wieder super, diesen Sound des Motors zu hören. Dieses dumpfe Grollen👍

[@Fenncer24]

Wild how the Sea Furys Propellers didnt even look like they moving almost as if were jet powered i would think in the war years 1939-1945 the sound of Hundreds of these small planes much less Bombers would be frightening especially at night. Just my thoughts. Love the Merlin and bombers sounds. The Averager sounded like an African river boat when rolled by before take off. LOL. The beptune taxing sounded like a 1975 Ford Ranch Station Wagon.

[@ohwell2790]

Note: All of the horse power figures for WW 2 fighter engines are given using the Aviation fuel from the USA and was 130 Octane fuel. Until these engines used 130 octane fuel the horse power was much less. All of the 130 octane fuel was from the USA and not produced in England. That is what gave the RR Merlin's there power.

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks mate for providing us with this interesting knowledge.

[@mitty76]

That is very interesting information which I had never heard about before.. Thanks mate 👍🇦🇺 7:33pm

[@MonkPetite]

This is incomplete information. They started out preferably with about 130 octane. But not everywhere that fuel was available. Later in the war 130 was standard for us mill and so the British got it too. But as the British being the brain for most ideas they got it up the 150 plus. That’s was nasty stuff but gave many planes a additional boost even with out water injection. The us got the drift and tried it to be faster on Germans flying bomb patrols. Obviously that didn’t help much as the British Turned on the jets

[@typhoon2827]

​@@MonkPetitewe had the lead on stuff like that because we'd been fighting the war for a couple of years while you guys tried to decide who's side you were going to be on 😂

[@pronkhonk1]

Ok the USA could make the fuel only because we crossed the big ocean in the 1600’s……😂

[@RedneckSpaceman]

Powerful Piston Pumpers!! Or is it Thumpers??😉. Those Twin Engine Beasts are awesome!!

[@mikemerlo4156]

I'll never understand why tail draggers don't use a small backup camera, mounted under the cowling, facing forward with a small screen in the cockpit. They could use a toggle switch to turn it on when on the ground. Any thoughts?

[@bcmfin]

Couple of thoughts, you've got enough to do after start up monitoring temps and pressures without watching a monitor. And a camera mounted under the cowling will be spattered with oil 5 seconds after start-up.

[@sagetheowlfatfeathery2083]

Excellent stuff, thank goodness for no music. Try adjusting your shutter speed/ frame rate so you don’t get the “static prop” look. A very good video nonetheless. 👍🏻

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks mate for your watching and suggestion. I will give it a try next time to get blurring effect of propeller.

[@Bluepilled-c5t]

Listen on some good headphones, it sounds pretty good.

[@philatwood2086]

Merlins sound nice, but IMHO, there's nothing as visceral as the sound of a big radial engine.. The chest thumping rumble is unique to this type engine..

[@vietvet]

Seaa Fury had a Bristol Centaurus when built. The other engines were when modified.

[@DrBearAviation]

The Sea Fury here was re-engined for Reno Air Race.

[@Nlangkirby135]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@EkimDyslexia]

[@peterrollinson-lorimer]

[@bruceringrose7539]

I wonder how fast the Mustang is going when it starts to make that“wailing sound”?

[@gregorturner9421]

HARS Nepture. they do good work trying to keep historical aircraft flying.

[@jekylthorn8969]

That image stabilisation is a bit weird...

[@marcocorrea716]

Amazing!

[@rowds]

Is there some kind of AI stabilising or something being used? especially when viewing the aircraft in the air with the backdrop of the sky the movement of the plane feels almost as if you're watching a video game. It's very, very odd and I can't quite put my finger on it. I don't like it but a good video otherwise.

[@centralplains7608]

The stabilization is called a TRIPOD, something that too many AMATEURS don't know how to use to cut down on shaky aviation videos‼

[@ZacYates]

I was thinking that too - it’s not simply a tripod as the other commenter suggested. It’s rather otherworldly, but the sound quality more than makes up for it.

[@driftingintoretirement]

What camera are you using, good quality video.

[@DrBearAviation]

It is a SONY RX10.

[@philatwood2086]

I just want to know how you keep the camera panning exactly on the aircraft, centered in the sceen. Is this post processing or live in camera? And what kind of camera are you using? Thanks..

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks mate for watching. I did post processing using Davinci Resolve software. The camera I use is a Sony Rx10.

[@philatwood2086]

@@DrBearAviation Yes.. SONY simply makes great cameras. I have an older a-37 and really like it. I used to go to the local airshows in SoCal, but the skies were usually overcast, so I couldn't get that nice Blue Sky contrast to easily follow the aircraft, especially with any kind of telephoto. So, what I did was get a "red-dot gun sight" and mount it to the Hot Shoe by way of a Picatinny Rail. Since these older SONYs had the "reverse" Hot Shoe, it required a "gender bender" adapter. It makes it a bit taller, but doesn't add much weight or change the balance. They fixed this "not backward compatible" issue on later models. Anyway, it makes following moving aircraft, or any moving object for that matter, much easier. These sights are relatively inexpensive. It might be worth a try if you're interested.

No such thing as a "TBM Grumman Avenger". The Avengers made by Grumman were designated "TBF", while the "TBM" was the same plane made by General Motors.

FW-190 missing?

[@DrBearAviation]

In this compilation, yes. In the next one, FW-190 will be included. I do have some shots of FW-190, but will try to get more shots for other planes before I have enough material for the second compilation.

[@pibbles-a-plenty1105]

You should have included the name of the plane's manufacturer in the upper left corner. Example: Boeing Stearman

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks for the suggestion. Next time I will do so.

[@Happy11807]

Thought that was aRyan PT 19 !

[@paulgray2387]

Why did the ac have the white arrow on the right wing?

[@DrBearAviation]

I would presume that you refer to TBM Avenger. If fact, it also has a white arrow underneath the left wing after wing extension. You could clearly see this at 10:14. In comparison, the right wing has the arrow on the upper surface after wing extension. My conjecture is that the white arrow reminds ground staff of wing section movement direction during extension.

[@bigred8438]

Unless the Hawker Fury has been re engined, they had the Bristol Centaurus Radial Engine......

[@ZacYates]

It was restored with the Wright engine in the 1980s.

[@pibbles-a-plenty1105]

Great vids with type names and accurate sound but your camera should be set up for realistic propeller blur.

[@DrBearAviation]

Thanks mate for your watching and comment. I am a beginner and still struggle with parameter setup with my camera for different scenarios. All the videos were taken with "AUTO" without setup from me. Following your suggestion, I have figured out how to blur propeller and hopefully you can see my improvement soon.

[@stenic2]

The fury must be re-engined

[@DrBearAviation]

Yes, it was re-engined for Reno competition.

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Yep 4 blade prop gave it away, It had a Wright R3350 in it and that was swapped out for a PW R2800, much more reliable engine !!

? I think you may be seeing an effect some camera speeds have on recording propellers.

@@Auggies1956exactly, shutter speed on camera causes the prop speed to look slow. You notice at different lighting settings it looks proper.

Those are realistic. They’re the actual planes. Can’t get more realistic than that. Camera shutter speed and digital frame rates give the appearance of odd prop speeds.
