If you don't love the 'jug', you ain't right!

[@andyberner1573]

Just love the sound of a radial engine.

[@KyleCowden]

I love the sound of inertial starters... ON radial engines.

[@robertgolden1080]

Love it. Keep the history flying.

[@scottgeorge50]

Love these old airplanes!

[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

In some parts of the world...a bunch of those could still do serious damage if armed correctly and given the whole nine yards!

[@michaelangelo7511]

I agree. Most modern missiles are heat seeking and perform best on the heat of a jet engine. Although slower they produce much less heat and I would think they are safer from missiles. At low levels 400 knots + is more than adequate for limited attack.

That's called an" optical- contusion" lol 😅 Ether way I've aways loved the sound of those engines.🇺🇸😎

@@midway27272727 lol i was questioning if it was only me seeing it myself 😅

[@rustysphotography]

@@gabbyhayes4561 same here , the radials were better sounding , longer lasting and safer in combat . Im glad the pilots didn't see the trippy prop or they would have all been hypnotized in battle

[@brentdykgraaf184]

Ahhhhhhhh there it is.....18 creamery cans firing in harmony radial fix for today. Thank you

[@georgegeyer3431]

Tough airplane.

[@georgegeyer3431]

Pratt and whittney R2800 Twin Wasp Power plant😊. One tough engine.

[@vumba1331]

Real thirsty for both avgas and oil, very expensive to run.

Hi..You've got some great stuff on your channel. U can never go wrong with P of F or anything with round engines. Love the start up and shut down. Always include in all your work if possible. On the other hand 844 & 4014 and anything in narrow gauge is OK too. If u consistently post, u will get the subs, currently at 137. Good Luck.

What a beautiful "FAT" beast. I have seen P-51's flying, but never a Jug. maybe some day.

[@MrAndrew1953]

From what I’ve read recently,these planes weren’t easy to fly in terms of getting the right running mixture in flight and the high landing speed. Demanding for experienced pilots.

[@kpadalldotablet1009]

Damn those things look like mini-bombers, not fighters. lol

[@robertsklenka5823]

The P47 was a better plane then most give it credit for.. it’s VS’s numbers were not as good ..why because when they were first in combat our tactics were inexperienced and at that time it was against Germany’s best. By the time the P51 arrived our tactics improved and the Germans were starting to show wear…Repeatedly i have heard/read events where the 47 got into a turning battle with 109’s and 190’s at lower altitudes and they were gaining on the maneuver. No one can argue it’s ruggedness ..or it’s pure firepower of 8 50’s ..I have listened to pilots stress that with drop tanks it had the same range as a 51..I think the 51 is a pretty bird no doubt..but if it was my butt on the line it would’ve been in a P47 ..

[@Wilett614]

YOUR audio must be adjusted VERY LOW on your Recording ... That R2800 Radial Engine makes ALOT MORE Rumble than is audible in this recording ??? This Video is also YEARS old It Is not Recent by any Means .... Cheers !

[@johnhessong8669]

This was recorded 2 weeks ago at the National Museum of WWII Aviation in Colorado Springs. Also, the P47 is not as loud as some other warbiirds, due to the massive turbocharger muffling the exhaust.

Thats an awful lot of engine, petrol and artillery. With just enough room left over for an eighteen year old kid in shirtsleeves.

So.. the rich people are on the inside of the fence? Kinda shitty.

We had a great day at the museum!
