Planes of Fame Chino Warbird Air Show - Sunday 7 May 2017

[@armenio1947]

Great video..............................Excellent production and realization, thank you so much.

[@airailimages]

Thank you very much for your kind words.

[@taofledermaus]

Whoa, they have a flying wing?! awesome!

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

TAOFLEDERMAUS NOT any more !!! They crashed it last year killing the pilot and destroying the plane !!!!

[@spreadeagled5654]

Excellent variety of warbirds! I love it! ❤️. Thanks! 🙏. That PB4Y Privateer should be restored to its former WWII Navy glory.

[@airailimages]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@guns2317]

Oh my....that Privateer in the air just about brought a tear to my eye. Splendid to see such a rare bird take flight! Anyone who would be interested in learning more about the role of the incredibly brave Privateer crews should read " Crew One" by Dennis Scranton and "Above an Angry Sea" by Alan Carey. These Navy crews truly are unsung heroes of the Pacific theater. Thank you to Airailimages for posting this up. What a treat.

[@airailimages]

You are very welcome.

[@williamcharles9480]

Wow! I'm blown away. The Privateer was just phenomenal. I have to say that I'm left spell bound by all of the historical aircraft that are so lovingly restored. Thanks for bringing us such good videos. As always, a class act.

[@airailimages]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@Spawn-td8bf]

Some of the rarest warbirds in the world . From the Allison powered P-51 all the way through the Privateer.That airshow is on my bucket list. Thank you so much. Really liked the slow mo musical break in there. The music gave it a sense of haunting remembrance of all those brave lads in WWII. My Grandfather was a Seabee and he said they used to call the Avenger "the beer hauler". They didn't have refrigeration when the Seabee's first landed, so they would fill the bomb bay up with beer, the pilot would take it up to 15 to 20 thousand feet for about 15 minutes and wala, ice cold beer. Thank you and God Bless from Florida.

[@airailimages]

Thanks for your comment. That's a great story about cooling beer in an Avenger. Some of the bomber guys in the Pacific would haul ice cream ingredients to altitude for the necessary chilling.

[@Spawn-td8bf]

Your quite welcome. Yes, I've heard about the ice cream as well. but I guess my Grandfather and his comrades had their priorities. LOL

[@steveboros1961]

Spawn 1960 A -36 Apache

[@Spawn-td8bf]

I was basing my identification on the pitot tube design and placement which on an Apache was towards the tip and straight out where as the early P-51's like those flown by the RAF in the early days were about 2/3 from the wing root and protruded down with a 90 degree bend forward. I was unable to see the air brakes. The "Mrs. Virginia" is listed as a P-51A on the registry of surviving P-51's and is owned by the POF.

[@Harrison2253]

The P-51 was powered by the British Merlin engine and the American made Packard Merlin engine. Not an Allison

[@jackdavis3988]

AWESOME imagery! Thank you for posting!

[@airailimages]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@warrenchambers4819]

The privateer the same aircraft that we saw in firefighting marking afew yrs ago? Also THANKS a million. We live in awesome times for warbird lovers. The amount and type of aircraft we see grace the skies today is incredible and wouldn't be possible without the hard work and dedication of organizations like Planes of fame. So from a very appreciative American Thank you so very much.

[@fullborev8906]

Really nice video to watch. I love these old warbirds!

[@airailimages]

Many thanks!

[@alainpeulet1679]

Chapeau..... Ho la la ... US ... you are the best for airshow !

[@umhchud]

Great show, great time. Highly recommend.

[@leesherman100]

Gotta love the P-26 Peashooter.

[@paladin56]

Wow. Thanks for posting. Some really rare birds there. A Privateer, Seversky, P.26, Northrop N9 and, for a moment, I thought I was seeing double when two Zekes flew by.

[@airailimages]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching. The annual Planes of Fame warbird air show is high on my list of things to do each year.

[@paladin56]

Looks like a great show. Also the tannoy commentary is really quiet which makes a nice change. Great to actually hear those fabulous aircraft properly.

[@radiobikini6429]

Good steady cam, did not make me sick.

[@airailimages]

Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

[@bruceboatwright7488]

So well shot, thank you for all the work.

[@airailimages]

You are welcome!

[@GamePlayWithNolan]

Imagine all the cool things you could do if you were the pilot of one of these!!!

[@marka.bilinski1961]

Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!

[@airailimages]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Warbird Roundup coming the last weekend of August 2017...

[@ccthepope]

airailimages, you are going to force me to go and buy a very large wall mounted video screen and surround sound to watch these great videos with!

[@cajunamerican2417]

Like Watching Angels In Flight 😊

[@airailimages]

Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@cajunamerican2417]

I’m An Aviation Enthusiast And A Gun Collector And A History Buff, Your Video Was AWESOME 😎 👍

[@samuelcassiooliveira8764]

Cool!

[@wolfeboronian4795]

The Privateer was built by Consolidated, the same firm that manufactured the famed two-engine PBY Catalina amphibian.

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Wolfeboronian And you "forgot the Consolidated B24 from which the PB4Y was derived !!!! DUUUUUHH!!!!!!!

[@mcdonnell220]

Privateer & Northrop N9M!

[@royburnham3454]

KEEP EM COMIN, LUV IT ?

[@airailimages]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@johnosbourn4312]

Will the PB4Y-2 ever restored to its original wartime look?

[@GamePlayWithNolan]

I hope so.

[@johnmoore8016]

wonder what the airforce would have today if they had not destoryed the flying wings back in the late 40"s ? I wonder why the army air corps didn't use more inline engines in their planes in WW-II then they did? was it a HP or design factor that caused them not to use them? love to see those planes from by gone days fly. Thanks for a very outstanding video

[@SpenzOT]

The US had good reason to use radial engines over inline engines. Initially inline engines were used in the new interceptors coming out (back when everyone thought that the heavy bomber would always get through) because they allowed the aircraft to be sleek and aerodynamic, thus it was assumed they would always be fast. However, the sleek profile inline engines provided turned out not to be as big of an advantage as people expected, especially in the face of new radial development which churned out some very powerful engines. Many designers found out that any aerodynamic drag issues could be compensated for by just using a more powerful engine. Furthermore, inline engines were not nearly as robust as a radial and had complex liquid cooling systems that just created another point of failure. This was especially bad for the US Navy, since they needed tough, reliable engines that could be counted on not to fail after being hit by just one bullet in the wrong spot (there are cases of radial engines having entire cylinders shot off and still being able to run. You cant do that with an inline). Radials were also cheaper to build, and were readily available at all times. When you think of their reliability, their simplicity, their ruggedness, and their power, it is no wonder why they were the engine of choice for most of our best aircraft.

[@TXARNGarmy15X]

Any plans to restore the Privateer back to WW2 configuration?

[@HoundDogMech]

really Great Video ... Titles Would have made it Awesome.

[@unclejack123]

Northrop Wing ...... does anyone know if this is the wing that was stored at the school of aviation maint. in Inglewood (circa 1968).........I remember seeing at least one wing there when I was in A&P school ......................... JRW

[@sqeeky100]

the p38 should be called the whistling death, jeeze.

[@taketimeout2share]

Does anybody know any pilot that flew both the B-24 and the Privateer? If so did they relate which of the two was the nicer plane to fly, and why they thought so? Love to hear that discussion. Thanks

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

taketimeout I doubt any pilot during the war would have flown both as the PB4Y was a Navy plane and the B24 was an Army. Maybe some of the ferry pilots might have flown both !!!!

[@richardlowe2681]

When (if at all) will there be a video of the full airshow coming out, as was the May 3-4, 2014 show?

[@airailimages]

We made several videos of this year's show; may not have everything, but here are some more aspects of the 2017 show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3e1k3xmZdJ9o6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXWmiZZ4irSMp80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZDQdYmujsemkM0

[@michaelrichter8973]

I all ways wondered why they never turbo charged the Allison 1710 in the mustang they did it to the p38 so why not the p51 ??

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Michael Richter There was NO ROOM in the fuselage for the large and clumbersome first gen turbos and intercoolers. That was a huge fuk up by USAAF procurement to rely on turbocharging rather than a 2 stage mechanical supercharger. USE the 2 stage supercharger was invented in the USA !! NOT by RR !!!! The Allison V1710 was a hell of an engine simplier than a merlin and had several more modern features such as a roller rocker assmy and stronger rods. a 2 stage mechanical supercharger would have made the Allison a better more powerful engine above 20,000 FT under 20,000 ft the Allison Mustang kicked the shitfires and RR asses royally !!!

[@AlexTrain5249]

1:27-1:50 War Thunder P-51Only without the guns/cannons.

[@TheSirjohn2012]

Does the PB-4 privateer have the same engines as the B-24 bomber in WW2?

[@GSMSfromFV]

I believe they both had the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engines.

[@airailimages]

Originally they both had P&W R-1830s; the civilian firebomber Privateers were later modified with R-2600 engines and cowlings from B-25s.

[@jacoblathrop1835]

9:57 one is fire walling it, the other is cruising, and the other is about to stall.

[@Bulldog1653]

I'm not so sure about that. They're probably doing about 200-250 knots and yes the F-35 is throttled back but not even close to stalling speed. The P-38 cruised at 275 MPH but if firewalled could do a hell of a lot quicker than that.

[@plunmeister1093]

It may be the Privateer, but doesn't it look like the B32?

[@airailimages]

Especially when the Privateer is in silver. Have you noticed how each manufacturer favored the same shapes on different airplanes, even if they were different sizes? The curved fairing on the Privateer vertical fin and the curved fairing on the B-32 do look similar, even though they are both different aircraft. Then take a look at Boeing tails of the era, and the B-17 and B-29 look like the same family.

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

plunmeister The Privateer was a navy version of the B24, obvious difference was the single tail and not obvious was the high altitude Turbochargers were deleated from the engines, leaving only the mechanical supercharger !!!

[@strizhi6717]

One word: Jealous

[@Lockbar]

overwhelming......

[@Z09SS]

Always wrecked with music... We wanna hear the motors!

[@airailimages]

Please just know that we have to deal with everything from loudspeakers to loud people -- we only use the music when the audio is ruined, or when we do slo-mo, since audio in slo-mo sounds like a sick basset hound.
