Reno Air Races & Airshow - Sea Fury Breathing Fire - TopFlight.TV

[@stockinglover22]

Just freaking amazing..look at those firing patterns...wow!!!

[@mytmousemalibu]

The original Bristol Centaurus in sea furys were sleeve valve. Far as i remember all the Furys racing pretty much converted to R-4350's. Dreadnought has a R-4360 Wasp Major in it. They were easyer/cheaper to get power from and the Centaurus had reliability issues in racing. So unless someone enters a stock Sea Fury, the rest are all converted.

[@RFKFANTS67]

Awesome watching the fireing pattern thanx 4 posting..

[@jay1st1st]

I want to see the same in 4K and calibrated microphones for the sound and blast as loud as possible at home !!!

[@antoniomilare7833]

Awesome!

[@leeboy29680-ol7gf]

that is just awesome

[@Yosemite-George-61]

@juzzi07 Super Chief raced with a centaurus, didn't do very well, but I don't think was the faul of the engine. You can tell a 3350 from a Centaurus because on Centaurus, the noise is "all on the exhaust" as on the Wright is a mix of exhaust and valve train clatter...

[@bladeslidedown]

Simply GREAT POWER... Nothinz better than that... Are there any pictures taken of breathin fire. I´m serchin but findn nothin!

[@kirkconway]

I saw this one win the gold in 06 on sunday. really smooth plane..good speed. much more controllable than a 51 or a bearcat.

[@virtualbush]

Its likely you are missing a good portion of the firing as I am sure its firing much faster than a video shutter would be able to capture. Which would make it seem as if it were out of sync/missing. Monster Aircraft!

[@mytmousemalibu]

@TheMiseryGuts Fantastic! I hope to see some of these beautys while i can! Theres a chance i may be on a B-17 Flight this weekend! Liberty bell is in my area. Once in a lifetime deal, hope i get to go!

[@Juicingood]

Magnificent.

[@mytmousemalibu]

@TheMiseryGuts Lucky You! One thing on my bucket list is to go see these beautiful planes of speed @ Reno someday.... The sleeve valve engines are true engineering marvels. If you find a vid on here of an original Fury or a Bristol freighter or any Sleeve valve radial, they sound fantastic! Smooth and classy! I still favorite a raspy, coughy old poppet valve radial though. One engine i really wished i could hear run is the Napier Sabre, the Tempest and Tiffy are some of my faves!

[@illefille]

I love those flames!!!

[@edayn1281990]

i personaly worked on this engine when I used to work for aircraft cylinder :) very awesome

[@spencnaz]

Forget NASCRAP! This is where the power is!

[@wazza33racer]

I read somewhere that the exhaust stacks alone produce 400 pounds of thrust ! Thx for the vid

[@jeancharlesdu21]

(September) Fury unleashed: love the sound of the Wright R-3350

[@askii3]

That just made me all warm and tingly inside.

[@alemcz]

Ow you're right. Sorry I wasn't presuming, I just only confused the sound of the engines.

[@braunarsch]

amazing!

[@billville111]

I was a Merlin fan until I heard that 4 row Super Corsair at the Chino Air Show. It made the Merlins sound like a Chinese lawnmower.

[@tonskulus]

+billville111 Same here :D Previously I loved V12 sound, but now radials are the best sounding engines ever.

[@yakovlev3a]

Wow, I remember authors talking about those "clear blue flames" in various ww2 fighter aviation books I read. Planes such as Hawker Hurricane were produced with exhaust shields to hide the flames that would otherwise give away the nightfighter's location in the air. This is very cool. 5 stars

[@alemcz]

I think that is a Bristol Centaurus which is using this aircraft

[@Giovanniram22]

Very nice!

[@barthoedemaker]

In the days they tend to run very rich mixtures, just in case.. That's why the flames out of the exhaust. Look @ videos of other radials and you'll notice the same, also with V12 configurations.

[@foxtrot789]

New meaning to the term "Firing Order"

[@mytmousemalibu]

@TheMiseryGuts Thats Awsome! I hope I get too go, fingers crossed! I imagined i'd be awfully loud! 4 big radials and a lot of aluminum and no sound deadning, I have no doubt it would be. My friend has been in a 172 and says its pretty damn bad, and thats a small, slow, little engine plane, but thats how the B-17 needs to be, anything differant would be sacralige :)

[@robertlafnear4865]

I WANT ONE !

[@13aceofspades13]

when someone gave me a negitive for my comment stating you could see the firing order... i didnt literly mean that, i should have said, its as if... you can see the firing ourder. like supercub said, the engine is revolving too fast, i dont know weither its a frame rate thing.... or...... they make it so flames shoot out in that sequence on perpous for show, which is compleetly possible, you can do that.

[@high6williams]

WOW!

[@BelieveNoGod]

Just like torch flames.

[@starionpsi]

is nice!!!! very nice!!!

[@YearOfTheDog82]

You are very welcome! What a noise eh?

[@originalbrownirish]

mach diamons, wow that exhaust is literally supersonic

[@13aceofspades13]

but its cool aint it, the brits really did a good job with this plane, THUBS UP TO YOU GUYS!

[@MatiXB8TU]

man that shits cool!!!

[@minipilot22]

in case of strobe light failure increase throttle :P

[@1339LARS]

Humungous !

[@TERYDOTCOM]

nothing sounds like a round engine,,,, wowsers

[@TobyMcVinn]

My Cessna 210 certainly doesn't do that!

[@MattBo1993]

The pretty show begins around 3:20 =)

[@fairclought7]

does this war-bird still have the Bristol Centaurus engine, its a shame when they replace the heart of a machine like this.

[@andrewcraig-bennett3659]

I’m sure that’s a Wright. As a boy I was a passenger on a Super Connie at night…

[@BelieveNoGod]

Like small JET flames :)

[@13aceofspades13]

and frame rate could have somthing to do with it.

[@crunchycrispybacon]

a lot of un burnt fuel going out those tail pipes.

[@selcukozcalisan2487]

seems like they made an unnamed turbo-prop engine there.

[@SakaL1985b]

It us meat !

[@13aceofspades13]

lol i didnt literly mean you can see the firing order XD

[@Yosemite-George-61]

I love this shit ! I wish I was there in the old days, before jets. JETS ARE FOR KIDS ! (And women)

[@Deltaspeed93]

Yeah but they don't do 500+ mph!...

[@supressorgrid]

Looks more like it is farting fire.

[@OldManCassius]

My right ear is lonely, nice video otherwise.

[@micstonemic696stone]

what a shame s shit mic was used there is no engine tone at all high rpm used though, what a disappointment try UK side ISS Sea Fury deck ready plane, and quality motor run up 2nd video best same plane EVENT

[@davidmarshall1259]

rough. not as nice as the centaurus.

[@abacs21]

What engine does this model use if not the centaurus?

[@FireballGER]

abacs21 3,800 horsepower Wright 18-cylinder engine
