P-47 Thunderbolts Planes of Fame airshow 2014

The sights and sounds of the P-47's that graced the sky's at the 2014 Planes of Fame airshow held in Chino California. P-47G 'Snafu' owned by Comanche Fighters, P-47G owned by the Planes of Fame air museum, P-47D 'Hun Hunter XVI' owned by Neal Melton and the other P-47D owned by Alan Wojcaik.

[@11SEXMACHINE]

God I was born in the wrong era for sure. I'm so over taken by the sight and the sound almost like it takes me back to old memories. The uniforms, the planes, the pride of being an american. The men who fought to the death in these had balls the sizes we couldn't even comprehend.

[@terraboundmisfit]

I agree so completely!

[@acme_tnt8741]

Yeah modern Jets are cool but they are essentially spaceships controlled my digital computers shooting weapons also controlled my computers. These old planes were essentially supercharged 18 cylinder motorcycles for the sky with six 50 cal machine guns and bombs and fuel tanks instead of saddle bags. The Aviation Gasoline of this Era into the late 60s was the best Gasoline ever too.

I like this and the P-51. The Red Tails flew P-40s, P-39s, P-47s and P-51s. I think they also flew a P-63 but I'm not entirely sure. Any plane that a red tail flew is an awesome plane!!

Can these people appreciate the magnificent plane that is the P-47 for even a second without bashing it? It was fast, it was powerful, and most of all, *IT GOT THEM HOME!* Q:but why does the spitfire have more kills? A: the spitfire entered combat in 1940-ish. The P-47 entered the fray in 1943. (No disrespect for the spitfire. I love it too!)

[@saveyourbacon6164]

About 7,000 more Spitfires were built than Thunderbolts, and the Spitfires were engaging the Germans more than three years before Thunderbolts were. The Thunderbolts had less than a year after their first operational missions on April 8, 1943, to engage the Germans, before the latter suffered catastrophic losses from which they never recovered. The Spitfire was not the Allied fighter the Germans feared most; it was the Thunderbolt. With good reason: when a Thunderbolt attacked, it was almost always from a position of overwhelming advantage.

On Fly Bys, it's obvious which P-47s have the COMPLETE Turbo-Supercharging system hooked up. They have a LOT louder (& macho) rap to the exhaust. Paul Allen's group in Everett, WA spends the extra dough to keep the Turbo working. It's capable of going over 40,000 ft.

Lots of absolutely stunning aircraft there. Love the Thunderbolts. Big & Bad-Ass. Probably the most durable fighter of the war. It could take an absolute pounding, and still stay in the air. Hits that would take down other aircraft, the P47 pilot would barley take notice of. It wasn't the most maneuverable fighter, but that size & power meant it could dive away from just about anything.

He was sitting in a T-bolt smoking a cigar waiting for the call to go. Hands cigar to Crew Chief. Says," Here hold this. I'll be right back" or something like that.

Thunderbolts had the Hellcats Engine also the corsair was fitted with the same engine (pratt n whitney) The Hellcat you could see over the nose of the plane when sitting in it on the ground, the others you couldnt. The Hellcat was lighter and also easy to land on the carrier ships the thunder bolt needed a long runway the propeller on the thunderbolt was so big it would almost touch the ground,,thunderbolt was like the B17 little brother it could carry half the load as the B 17.///The Engines of these planes were massive.///The Hellcat was the least modified fighter plane of the War. Then there was the P51 mustang it was the most modified fighter, four years of modifications. and unlike the others it had a water cooled engine..one hit to the radiator and it had to land but it is more than credited as an Awsome air combat Fighter. The Hellcat,Thunder Bolt, Corsair were stucturely designed to absorb alot of gun fire and did. These planes had alot of capabilities,and lots of duties. These planes In the hands of the pilots that flew them performed with Excellence ****************

[@chuck6187]

What saved Britain in WW ll was American manufacturing! What won Britain the "Battle of Britain" was the 100 octane fuel that you got from the United States delivered from the Exxon tanker Bunker Hill just in the nick of time that let your Rolls Royce Merlin's perform on par with the ME-109's. What saved Britain from defeat was letting Packard rebuild your Rolls Royce Merlin from the blueprints to the final product using superior materials and state of the art manufacturing principles that were far better than the "hand made" (which equates to no consistent quality) junk Rolls Royce was putting out. And finally what saved Britain from defeat was American blood to get you out of another war you started in the your long history of trying to concur the world (British Empire Conquest!) Bullshit!

[@doas6311]

True they needed a loonng runway. Trivia...there is a road called New Highway that skirts round the perimeter of Republic airport. In the old days it was straight (going north and south), they had to re-route the road, make it dog leg around the longer runway, lengthened to accommodate the take off roll of the Thunderbolts.

[@kellyreim6627]

When you turn final in a p 51 the runway disappears when you turn final in a p47 the whole airport disappears so said a old p47 pilot l once knew.

[@morteparla6926]

Can't help but be surprised how nobody uses the P-47's for air races. They'd be great. One of the fastest planes in the straights, and the fastest planes in the turns -- especially coming out of the turns. The P-47's a big girl with a lot of mass and an extremely powerful engine, so she holds energy and speed throughout a turn very well.

[@stanhathcoat920]

Just watched some Reno races, the same thought occurred to me. The XP47(J?, experimental) was a lightened, unarmed model, the first prop-driven single-engine aircraft to break 500mph in level flight. The XP47H also clocked 500-505mph(unofficially), powered by a 16 cylinder Chrysler inline engine. 47s are probably too rare today to chance racing.IMHO, the 47 was the best, most destructive single-engine fighter for the Allies in the European theatre. P51s ended up with more air kills, after spring of '44, & the Germans had lost a large portion of their experienced combat pilots. Also, at that time most 47 squadrons were relegated to ground attack, where they saw little in the way of air to air combat.(I believe the 56th continued escort duty in the upgraded 47s, including the M model, which clocked in at 473mph) The Allied soldiers were amazed at the destruction to the Wehrmacht they came across in Europe, mostly handed out by 47s & Hawker Typhoons. Yeah, I've been a Thunderbolt fan since the first time I saw a photo of one, about age 9 or 10:)

[@dukecraig2402]

@@stanhathcoat920 Wherein what you and the original poster said is all true the problem with using P47's in the Reno air races is that they had their best performance at medium and high altitude, the Reno air race is around 5,000 ft above sea level which is considered low altitude to a WW2 fighter, in the real world during WW2 P47's didn't even use their turbo below 7,000 ft (approximately, depending on atmospheric conditions). The best plane/engine combination for that, and for the life of me I've never understood why no one's tried it, would be a P51 fitted with the Allison engine, the 2 stage Merlin engine that everyone uses for air racing suffers from an extra 250 HP parasitic power loss from driving the 2nd stage. Each stage of a supercharger drags about 250 HP off of an engine while being driven, a fighter in WW2 that operates from relative sea level to high altitudes benefitted from a 2 stage 2 speed supercharger because it could run it's supercharger in low speed at lower altitudes without having to have the throttle reduced to keep from overboosting the engine, then as it gained altitude and ran out of breath the supercharger would be shifted into it's high range to provide enough boost in the thinner air, despite loosing the additional 250 HP from driving a 2nd stage this benefitted the aircraft by making more useable power at different altitudes instead of being optimized for either low or higher altitudes. The single stage Allison engine makes more power at the prop shaft because it doesn't have a 2nd stage dragging an extra 250 HP off of the engine, most people are surprised to find out that the original P51A with it's single stage supercharger Allison engine was actually faster than a MKIX Spitfire with it's 2 stage Merlin below 5,000 feet for that very reason. That's why all the USAAF combat aircraft of WW2 had engines with single stage superchargers and turbos that would start to feed the single stage supercharger at around 7,000 to 9,000 ft, the B17's, B24's, P38's, P47's all utilized that system, even the P39 and P40's were originally supposed to have this same system on them but their development time got cut short because the war in Europe broke out in 1939 and the Allied forces over there were screaming for airplanes so those two planes had the turbos dropped from them to get them into production quicker (for the intended version of the P40 look up XP37, you'll see what the P40 was originally supposed to be). Turbos, unlike superchargers, don't cause parasitic power loss being driven because they're waste energy recovery systems, ie they're driven off the exhaust which is wasted energy leaving the engine. In the mid 1930's NACA did a study and determined that the best system for power at all altitudes was a single stage supercharger, fed by a turbo at higher altitudes, the US Navy rejected this system in favor of 2 stage 2 speed superchargers because aircraft maintenance on a carrier is a whole different story then on land based aircraft, there's limited space for spare parts and limited personnel to perform maintenance so they went with the simpler 2 stage supercharger systems, but this is why an F4U and the F6F have lower service ceilings than a P47 despite having the same engine, it's the supercharging systems that make the difference, just as a single stage supercharger runs out of breath after a certain altitude so does a 2 stage supercharger after it reaches a certain altitude. The "critical altitude" rating of an aircraft is a term most people don't know and you rarely see listed outside of the NACA reports, a critical altitude rating is actually on the engine and not the aircraft itself, that's the altitude that an engine can make it's maximum power, P47's have a higher critical altitude rating than the F4U or the F6F because of it's single stage supercharger fed by a turbo at higher altitudes, at "cruise power" throttle settings the engine in a P47 actually has a higher critical altitude than the aircraft's service ceiling which is 42,000 ft, at cruise power the engine was capable of making it's cruise power rating above that, that's incredible. Most of the B17's, B24's and P47's that you see in air shows nowadays don't even have working turbos in them because the aircraft don't generally fly above 10,000 ft, they don't have working oxygen systems in them for the crews much less a B17 that's taking passengers for rides so having working turbo system's on them is pointless, you'd wind up killing the passenger's from hypoxia. Towards the end of the war the USAAF finally paid Allison to develop a 2 stage 2 speed supercharger system for use in the Twin Mustang, only the first 20 pre-production Twin Mustang's had the same 2 stage Merlin engine that was used in the P51D because the 2 stage Allison wasn't ready yet, however when the plane went into production it had the 2 stage Allison engine in it which was more powerful than the Merlin using the same type of system. One of those 2 stage Allison engines was test fitted into a P51, it was known as the P51J and it was a 491 MPH aircraft, however not many of those engines were made and there probably isn't even a working example of one in existence, the only flying Twin Mustang in the world is one of the pre-production Merlin versions, they make 200 HP per engine less than the Allison with the same 2 stage type supercharger system. Why no one's tried using a P51 fitted with a single stage Allison engine optimized for maximum boost at 5,000 ft is beyond me, maybe it's just that no one's thought about it, having been to aircraft maintenance school and also having built performance motorcycle engines for a living for the past 30 years I can tell you that aircraft mechanics don't think outside of the box very much, it's just not in their nature to do it since that trade is so strictly regulated by it's very nature.

That silver "WZ" definitely seems to be tuned-up far better than the other aircraft. Granted anything 60+ years old and still in flightworthy condition is simply incredible, but whatever team is responsible for the maintenance service and tuning of that plane is certainly first-class. Notice the start time of the two in the distance, when this one begins it's fired and stabilized while others are still cranking. Also on the taxi shot and takeoff roll this plane sounds like it just rolled off the assembly line. Kudos, definitely represents unbelievable blood sweat and tears!

[@LuvBorderCollies]

The F22 is not struggling as bad as an F14 Tomcat. Forget the year but it was a Navy Aviation anniversary. For the flight they had the F14, Hellcat, Bearcat and Grampa Wildcat. The Wildcat looked like the Flintstone car trying to maintain speed, while the F14 was visibly wobbling on the ragged edge of stall. The 14 was the obvious choice to pull up for the Missing Man formation. Bet the pilot was glad to add more power.

[@Luigi-pk8mk]

These were built local to me, at the Republic main plant at the corner of Conklin St and Route 110 in East Farmingdale Long Island. I was able to drive through the plant as it was being shut down in 1987. Its a shame that it is all gone now, except for one hanger that is the American Airpower Museum. They built approximately 9,500 of them right at that plant, and built more at a second plant in Evansville Indiana.

I'll never forget the comments made about this wonderful flying "Jug" of WWII by one of the actual pilots who flew it during the war when he spoke about it on a TV special. He was just a little guy, about 5'6" or so, and said he was just handed a small flight handbook on the plane and then expected to fly it that day! He was scared to death of its immense size and weight, but later said that once he got it in the air under control - it was the sweetest, nicest handling fighter he had ever had the pleasure to fly!! We have one at our air museum and I can truthfully say - the P-47 is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder it took so much to shoot one down....and what firepower it carried.....Wow!!!
