Flying Inside a P-38 Lightning During an Airshow

[@donald4624]

Never in my life did I ever think I would get that view from a P-38, I'm old so thank you for the view of a lifetime.

[@valderja]

The lightning is such a beautiful bird. ⚡

[@electrician248]

What a fantastic view! We have a P-38, a Corsair, and a P-51! I wish that I was flying that P-38!

[@chuckgarand8456]

3 of my most favorite warbirds. Excellent !!

[@Bakes-z4c]

No music! Awesome

[@EngineNo9x]

What a beautiful machine that airplane is

[@TSFRJNSLPO]

Yeah but it scares me enough 😢

[@Cap10VDO]

That is the single most awesome piece of footage I've ever seen. The Lightning is my favorite warbird, bar none.

[@grimandproper]

That Mustang driver is glued to his wing.

[@RV4aviator]

Yeah ... I noticed that too...! G4 was the standout FF guy...!

[@louisjamin7195]

It was actually a little too close for comfort :D

[@pointnozzleaway]

Don't get to see this view everyday...AWESOME !!!! That's how you do it !

[@oldieman730]

Amazing footage, almost felt like I was there.

[@johnmcdonald1948]

This felt like CinemaScope, great editing. Also obvious the controls are a handful, even with hydraulic boost. I'd be wrung out after 20 minutes of close formation flying. Total skill and concentration.

[@davidnassi8304]

This should be seen on a big screen

[@SonriseSunset]

here we go looped de loop!

[@8888shooter]

👌... absolutely beautiful footage!! I love the old P38 awesome looking WW2 plane👌....great flying control too!!....great to see the Mustang, and i think the Corsair flying there too!!..... Many thanks for sharing it, pal!👍👍😁....is this the " all silver painted, Redbull P38 ?..... looks great!!..i have some stunning photos of this plane flying at RIAT display some years ago. 👍

[@zoesantana5700]

I'm impressed that an aircraft with a yoke was still an extremely capable dogfighter in WWII.

[@Loebane]

What makes a yoke a bad choice for dogfights?

[@daneelolivaw4323]

@@Loebane The point of a yoke is to increase the strength a pilot can apply to the control surfaces by facilitating two-handed piloting and, in some cases, increasing the lever length. If you need to do that, your aircraft probably wasn't going to be a very agile machine in the first place. And indeed the P38 wasn't. It wasn't a dogfighter like @zoesantana5700 writes, it preferred zoom-and-boom tactics, which rely less on maneuverability and more on power and energy conservation.

[@Loebane]

@@daneelolivaw4323 Thanks for clarifying/expounding on the reasoning!

[@OwnaDge]

I wouldnt agree the lighning was a good dogfighter. Maybe in and out with its highspeed boom and zoom, but turnfights? doubtful.

[@j_zales1390]

Is was effective in ww2 Because that was the technology at the time , dont compare it to modern tech , compare it to other tech of that era

[@fourfortyroadrunner6701]

MAN this is some great stuff!!

[@hunterl1551]

I can't wait for the heritage flight with the F-22 and p-38 this weekend at the Miramar airshow

[@gglen2141]

I'd never thought about it till now, but once you take all that thick bulletproof glass and supporting hardware out you get a fantastic forwards view.

[@stephenohms1795]

Incredible video, can we please have more like this i.e. high res video capture, piston prop warbirds, aerobatics, can hear the engine(s), no music

[@Bruce_Warren]

💥Outstanding!

[@Sean-xg3wv]

BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT!!!

[@WrightCycloneR1820]

Sywell Airshow June 22nd 23rd 2024, it was a fantastic show, especially these guys.

[@kdubb81]

Very cool! I didn't know P-38's had yokes. I have to watch this on a big screen TV.

[@rtaf4206]

And do you know C17 globmaster had joystick like jet fighter !

[@kdubb81]

@@rtaf4206 I do! Center stick. Airbus jets have side sticks

[@rhondameyers1632]

This is way cool. Sure would have been fun to hear the chatter that I'm sure was going on among the pilots!!

[@artel6225]

Stunning

[@Warbird-Aviation]

Tolle Aufnahmen Raimund!!!

[@JazzbLu]

This is so cool!

[@laurenjager297]

Wooow!! 😳🤯 So talented & precise. Didn't even stop to blink.

[@SkinPeeleR]

The P38 lightning together with the P39 cobra are two of the most beautiful 1930ies designed planes.

[@chybagus]

I wonder if current fighter pilots are a little jealous of WW2 pilots. Today it’s all about BVR (beyond visual range) fighting, rarely do you actually “get” to dogfight…

[@JoshuaTootell]

Probably not jealous of a bear guaranteed kill, vs risking being shot and killed yourself.

[@aarons.7271]

Not at all. Attrition for pilots in the Pacific was something like 1 in 3.

[@Mark-ou3gr]

Ya but hell.that is just too kool 😆😆😆😆😆

[@Mark-ou3gr]

Kelly Johnson at his zenith 😎😎😎

[@ReneDominique]

Beautiful aircraft, an absolute killer in the day ! Bravo

[@4672-m9f]

Beautiful

[@peanutbutter2597]

Wow ! Just awesome 👏 and smooth as silk ! That’s what that airplane was built for

What are the settings to capture both the interior of the aircraft and the exterior without any over exposure ?

[@pauliedweasel]

What’s cool,is to see these 80 plus year old war birds with modern radios and avionics.

[@Usonian635]

Awesome

[@SirMike02]

My favorite aircraft ever. What I would give to be able to fly one

[@f3verMonkey]

Outstanding ❤

[@f3verMonkey]

Raimundo! 🤙🏻🤘🏻❤️

[@stevelacker358]

To me, that bird will always be Lefty Gardner’s “White Lightnin’”. So great to see it still doing what it’s done for… well… my whole life (60 years). And this reminds me of an old video from the 80s with Lefty, although much better quality.

[@briansilcox5720]

Looks like Riedmann’s Mustang wingman is a bit less steady than his Corsair wingman. Gets very close…

[@marcustvchannel5885]

Awesome drive good

[@steveparsons6324]

Beautiful birds…

[@CX0909]

The axis powers had some excellent fighter aircraft. But the US had so many different and excellent fighter aircraft. Mustang, Thunderbolt, Lightning, Corsair, Hellcat and I'd give honorable mention to the P-40 Warhawk for being rugged and used intelligently by the AVG in Burma.

[@10fantic]

New 360 cam?

[@rag3geCKo]

Nope - the Max, still rocking in 2024.

[@cjyoung7372]

The jug is still my favorite

[@jkconner9636]

Curious about the smoke, were you doing that on purpose or are the engines burning oil?

[@darkdom5439]

WON-DER-FUUUUL !! 😲😍👌 And more , i saw my favorite War Bird on the right : CORSAIR F4U !! 🔥 ☠ 👏👏👏✌😊😊

[@geraldtong4414]

How come the propellers spin so slowly like not spinning?

[@Not_An_Alien]

The RPM of the propeller is close to the FPS of the camera.

[@huntstyle]

Umm, is this shot on the Max 2, because my Max doesn't get this high of quality... 🤔

[@maximeflec]

Same, mine looks shit compare to that footage

[@cgross82]

Did all P-38s have a steering wheel like that?

[@northwestprof60]

One would almost think those guys know what they're doing! Nice.

[@jesusrodriguez4816]

Awesome! Poor Artificial Horizon looks confused 😮

[@followyourbliss101]

a corsair a p51 and a p38 flying so close together is wild. I'd be so concerned that all the pilots are familiar with each other and have run thru their flying routine many times before doing it for real

[@dpforth]

They're all Red Bull planes, so I assume they fly together often.

[@EngineNo9x]

Didn’t know Tony Hawk was a pilot too

[@Sousadrone1]

Muito bom

[@Sousadrone1]

Valeu

[@Sousadrone1]

Obrigado

[@Terryfi3d]

I want this in 3D

[@58icarus]

Don't these things have shutter speed adjustment? If not, they should.

[@ronaldbrouhard1247]

Reminds me of Lefty Gardner & White Lightnin.'

[@CaneFan25]

My dream was to be a pilot…..my vision, on the other hand, wouldn’t allow it 😡

[@danilo_david]

wtf, gopro 360º 2024?

[@blackmennewstyle]

Far out beautiful ❤

[@jeffreyhonafius1264]

The oxygen mask is interesting.

[@meatpopsicle1567]

When these birds were new, the original pilots were just kids! Image being just 21 years old and piloting a fork-tailed devil for real!

[@slideryt]

O2 mask???

[@HerdingDogRescuer]

I'd rather be in that Corsair.

[@С-ф8э9э]

Красиво 👍.

[@DavidSmith-jj5pr]

the oxygen mask has me wondering.....

[@LouisaAntony]

[@zolterzolter459]

Why does he need an oxygen mask at this altitude?

The microphone is in there

[@adste.]

Second!

[@_JP18]

Great plane. Why are you wearing an oxygen mask?

[@calsurflance5598]

Don’t think I would want to perform aerobatics in an extremely rare and perhaps priceless warbird with that GoPro moving around in my field of vision.👀🧐

[@ChilternburtYT]

The camera isn't moving, it's shooting 360 degree footage and they are just reframing the shot as they need....

[@calsurflance5598]

[@dhouse-d5l]

80 yr old beams and stringeres being stressed like that? These birds are museum pieces straight and level is all thats needed.

The cameras constant panning and movement was unnecessary. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.

it is a signal - don't wait gopro max 2 😥
