My Dad flew F4U's from 1943 to the end of the war in VMF224 and his brother was also with him. He had the choice to stay Navy and fly Hellcats or go to the Marines and fly corsairs which was what he wanted. He had 3,500 hours by the time the war ended. He loved this plane and called it the queen of the sky. He always wanted to get in it and go and he swore that was how he survived the war. I love this plane and thank-you for the detailed explanation of this F4U-4. So glad there are some left and they are flying!

I am a 76yo aircraft enthusiast and I love virtually all WWII and Korean War aircraft. My dad was a SeaBee in the Pacific in WWII and even though he never flew any aircraft he was always full of tales about the Corsair. It was _the_ Navy fighter, even for enlisted carpenters or electricans. My dear wife does not share my enthusiasm for aircraft but just follows me around from museum to museum or air show to airshow. But when we visited the National Naval Aviation Museum she saw a Corsair and it became her all-time favorite, She can spot the gull wing from a mile away and loves the sound and the gracefulness in which it carries out the mission. This was a really rewarding video, I loved every minute and learned a lot. Thanks and a very emphatic BZ.

Love that plane. In the early days in Korea, (I'm 93) we always had a flight of several Marine Corsairs (Black Sheep, Checkerboard or Death Rattlers) overhead ready to strike with bombs, rockets or napalm where needed. They were our 'special weapon', which the Army didn't have. Those unknown pilots are not forgotten.

I'm not a pilot but I've been an airplane nut all my life and have worked on many types of military aircraft. However, Jim has pointed out several features of aerodynamics about which I was unaware, a couple of which are unique to the Corsair. Love this aircraft and thanks for the tour.

Hello and Good evening Eric Johnston from central Florida. As a "Warbird lover" and overall aviation enthusiast I want to say thank you for the work in putting forward this video. my best friend and I saw Jim Tobul and his beautiful F4U-4 at Sun-n-Fun in Lakeland FL several years ago. My what a heart pounding exhibition he gave. The Corsair remains my favorites Navy and Marine Corps aircraft from it's period. You see I was a young teen thoroughly 'hooked' on the exploits of Greg Boyington and VMF 214 as portrayed by Robert Conrad in the TV series Baa Baa Black Sheep. Ah. The deep throaty rumble of the R-2800 P&W. Mr. Tobul obviously knows that airplane and the opportunity to see him demonstrate that Corsair's capabilities is most definitely NOT wasted time.

A very fascinating and informative presentation. A person would never have guessed how many little features were needed to bring this airplane up to being a functional warbird. The production qualities of the video are top-notch and obviously the two people have coordinated well and there's no hunting around with the camera for what needs to be shown and in focus. Shortly after I got my first camcorder and rigged-up a shoulder-mount to steady it, I took it to a CAF airshow and their Corsair immediately attracted my full attention. I was able to catch its full aerobatic performance and never get tired of watching it again.

Upon reflection, I would like to suggest a follow up video, or 'Part Two' video be made with Mr. Tobul and his Corsair. This time around, go into more detail on certain items/areas. I personally can think of a dozen more questions I'd like answered from the 'Jerry-bars' to the lifting apparatus on the tail, to maybe now... what the Corsair looks like with the "other wings". The "Tobul/Johnston" combination should again provide us a demonstration equal or better to this one. Very entertaining, very professional, excellent subject matter. Crossing fingers!

New subscriber here. Ever since watching the TV show "Blacksheep Squadron" when I was about 10 years old, I have been a fan of the Corsair and always thought the design was super cool. I have absolutely enjoyed hearing Mr Tobul explain every detail of this beautiful plane, I love his demeanor, so casual yet straightforward in his explanations. I noticed right away that there were two different call outs for the "boats" that this craft was assigned to and enjoyed the explanation of those callouts, I am very much in agreement that the two ships and pilots who few this plane be recognized and that was a very nice tribute to those servicemen for sure. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and look forward to watching more videos from this channel. Thank you and thank you for the service of the men and women past and present who have kept us all living in the land of the free and the home.of the brave!!! God Bless You All!!!

This was nice to discover and get a full tour. I learned a lot of good information from you. Interesting that you mentioned finding legacy pilots in Olathe. I lived in Olathe for many years and had a college roommate that was stationed there while in the Navy. Thanks to Eric for covering this aircraft. The Bitter Bird on the fuselage looks curiously like the KU JayHawk. Thanks again Eric and Jim.

I appreciate the time you took to do the walk around. My Dad flew the F4U-4F during WW2. He joined the Navy at age 18 in August '42 and spent the majority of the war in training. After he was commissioned he spent time in Deland, FL where he married my mother in '45 and after the war spent six months in Guantanamo until he was mustered out. When my younger brother and I were young he regaled us with his exploits in his Corsair. His Navy experience and especially his Corsair was an integral part of his coming of age and had a profound influence on the rest of his life.

I love his purist snark. That’s a working aircraft, if you want pure and original, go to a museum.

WoW Corsair has always been my favorite and I know much about it, but Jim has enlightened me on a few new items, Very informative and interesting Owner/ Pilot.. Great Video also. Hope to see this Gorgeous Corsair Next Year at Oshkosh, it's been 45 years so i thought it was time to go back....

My favorite plane ever! It is my literal goal to fly one one day! I just got my private pilots license, and I hope to fly for the Navy one day to continue the legacy these pilots left before us! I hope and pray it works out and that I can fly a (or in) a Corsair.

You would make a great instructor. If you aren't already. You're so precise with your description and explanations. You remind me of the guys that just flew. Could fly with limited instruments, but by just knowing and becoming part of that aircraft. I've always self taught myself on things, driving, motorcycle riding, even a tractor. I even drove a tank in the army, while on a training expedition with our battalion in Germany. My biggest desire would have been flying. Predominantly rotary wing aircraft. Helicopters. But small planes are right up there too. Thanks so much for your very interesting looksee at the Corsair. I've always thought the inverted gull wing design was cool. Thanks again.
