Sunday Warbird Departures - TBM Avenger Reunion 2023

[@pastorrich7436]

No announcer, no music. Just the sound or radial engines doing what they do best. Sound awesome!!!

[@fasttruckman]

Nothing but the music of the engines. Well done.

[@Chilly_Billy]

That was some tremendous video. It was so clear and crisp, it was like I was standing on the flightline.

[@JoshuaSkummer]

This is such a low-key awesome event. Free entry, rarely crowded and some incredible planes show up every year!

[@jlpytlewski]

The Avenger with the #3 was an old Forestry water bomber, sat at NAS Wildwood, NJ, for some time. Didn`t know they got it airworthy. There was a second plane that the museum restored to static display.

[@ryanking1595]

The Avenger is basically the Father to the Skyraider. Naval Aircraft are so amazing in that they had to pack a huge punch into a single aircraft. These things are beasts and I love it!!

[@ghand6158]

What? Grumman Avenger, Douglas Skyraider? Not sure about that correlation

[@rooms1028]

AND collapsible wings to boot.

[@grumpyoldfart1945]

Great ear candy; love those radials. Thanks for posting.😊

[@fourfortyroadrunner6701]

THIS is some EXCELLENT footage!!!

[@peteranninos2506]

Great Stuff AirshowStuff! Just nat sound is the best!

[@donjones4372]

Great watching, thank you 👍

[@68orangecrate26]

Real airplanes belching real exhaust! Outstanding!

[@charlie1571]

I wish I could have been there. My father was a turret gunner on an TBF Avenger in WW2 and he served in both theaters. If he were alive today I know he would have enjoyed this video. Thanks.

[@skipgetelman3418]

Love the sound of radials

[@mikearakelian6368]

Round engines talk to you...

[@cliffnelson1174]

The thing I really love about these warbirds is the brillant engineering of these carrier based planes and how the different way the wings folded back on the different planes.

[@tackanderson4270]

Just beautiful. So well kept!

[@josemoreno3334]

Love those old war birds. 👍🛩🪖. I'm retired USAF.

[@williammcgrath5943]

My uncle, John AEM2 worked on these and many during WW2 in the Pacific! I'm a member of Naval Air Station,Ft.Lauderdale and we do a ceremony every December 5th for the Lost Squadron!!

[@richuar]

Great to see the #3 TBM still decked out in it’s budworm bomber/fire fighting scheme. An important part of why so many Avengers survive today that deserves to be remembered.

[@diggr13]

When I worked there as an apprentice mechanic in 1988 there were seventeen of ‘em!

[@davepowell3293]

ACAM in Halifax , has one too, complete with water tank, and a extra tank on display

[@richuar]

@@davepowell3293 awesome! Just looked up some pics of and it looks immaculate, thanks for the tip!

[@diggr13]

ACAM has one and New Brunswick has one, both rebuilt cosmetically after crashes. Shearwater has the very last airworthy (when it flew there) FPL tanker although it has been reconfigured to RCN configuration.

[@mikeupton5406]

I remember these on fire duty out of Goleta CA. Wonderful to see one in Fire Fighting trim

[@leezinke4351]

What a gorgeous planes

[@Jimmyzb36]

Thanks!

[@williamkerr6700]

The #3 was like the ones we watched at the Downsview Airforce base when we were in our early teens ..we would ride our bikes out and hop the fence and watch the planes coming down the taxi strip.. wave and take photos - F86, T33 , Avengers, Beavers, Otters, C119's etc etc.. early 1960's

[@manuelbeltranmeza]

WOW i love it, greetings from Mexico.

[@princessmalabar1834]

Very good show. All the planes are fantastics with the best sounds offered.

[@ivan-ywr]

Simply beautiful

[@skimmer8774]

I can be with these works of wonder 24/7 and still want more. Gluttony pure gluttony.

[@baig418]

Engine Sounds amazing!

[@Th.M.]

Beautiful!

[@laddb5148]

the fire bomber scheme is so cool.

[@michaelnessle8354]

Beautiful, beautiful airplanes!

[@johnhild-pt4qm]

Music to my ears

[@joncross6449]

Excellent!😀

[@sski]

Round Engine Friday+ has graced us Brothers and Sisters! Rejoice!! #3, the TBM not decked out like a war bird, looks almost livable but it's a fire fighter, right? I know what I'd do with it

[@merritttrucker]

I grew up listening to the sound of TBM-3’s flying in formation up the St. John river valley in New Brunswick Canada. Forest Protection Limited had the last working fleet of TMB-3’s in the world. I wanted to get my license and fly for FPL, when I heard the fleet was being retired and replaced with AT802’s I shelved my dreams of flying 😢

[@reverseuniverse2559]

Awesome 😎 looking forward to seeing a first ever “Pacific Airshow” on the Gold Coast Oz in august

[@markdos1538]

Buenísimo. Hermosas imágenes, aviones y selección de sus momentos. 👍👍🇨🇱

[@gillesgnd4885]

Thanks for tour movie and the HD. Without stupid music like the others it's Magic just with the songs of engines !!!!!

[@jaredkelly930]

That TMB Was Beautiful!!!

[@bigbelconut]

World War 2 aircraft are some of the most beautiful air planes to take to the sky. My uncle flew from the Lexington in the pacific. He bought a surplus WWII trainer when he retired from the Airforce, I have quit a few hours in the back seat of a BT13. Great times I will never forget. RIP Uncle Tom. Lieutenant Colonel Thomas A. Watson. US. Airforce. The one thing you should never do, the gentleman in the video was doing, stand to the side of the plane in line wit the prop. If there is a prop failure and it hits you, I think you know the outcome.

[@tomhill4765]

My brother was a rear gunner on a TBM and assigned to the Lexington also.

[@scotthesler644]

My father in law Jack Cohen flew the TBF Avenger off the Bennington during WWII.

[@ciceronunes9308]

Ola tudo bem,/boa tarde,obrigado ao envio do video a ser assistido desse canal,/sexta feira,16/06/2023.ok

[@GoroAnggoro-s9j]

Great spirit, my Indonesian

[@Nfarce]

Interesting mix of TBM regular two point and more unconventional three point takeoffs and landings...whatever feels good at the time I suppose!

[@johnlang150]

Gotta love that sound but still love the start up of the corsair but love the Spitfire and their 27-litre Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and who can't forget the Lanc ( anyone of their engines like the Bristol Hercules air-cooled radial engines or Merlin but the best were ARE four Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engines. love the vid 2 THUMBS UP

[@alexandremarcelino7360]

Incrível! Isso me lembra tantas coisas, é uma verdadeira viagem no tempo para Um passado não muito distante. Naqueles tempos o mundo não era para amadores.

[@MichaelCorbeiljr]

The Yankee Doolittle should have done Flaps down Full Throttle like when they took off from the Aircraft carrier. Having the nose gear point to the sky still rolling down the runway

[@cevagovago2774]

Cool video 👍👍👍

[@steveward4509]

Actor Richard Boone also Navy TBF gunner

[@JesseHarrington87]

to think the B25 at one time flew from a carrier is nuts.

[@jackdaniel7465]

It sure did, 1942 the Doolittle raid, 16 of them took off from the carrier USS HORNET.

[@mysticwine]

This is freaking badass! Like 30 Harley's.

[@brucebeauvais1324]

A Harley is 2/9 ths of a Cyclone.

[@johnnylott9700]

More like 2/14 because the TBMs and the b-25s have Wright R-2600s which have 14 cylinders, 2 rows of 7.

[@68slayer]

Interesting tail on the first one.

[@LOLGuy431]

Cool 😎 😊

[@stevencoenen9126]

😊❤ NOTHING LIKE OLD SCHOOL. NEW TECHNOLOGY NOT THE SAME AS OLD SCHOOL. WHATA BEAST

[@Diogenes425]

Definitely a different looking bird with her war paint off.

[@cuocsongthuviquanhta]

Waooo . những loại máy bay này vẫn còn tồn tại, thú vị quá.

[@JamesLaursen-h3j]

Start up of 51D - Classic, you can almost smell the 130 AVG

[@jnbfrancisco]

My dad said he worked on SBDs, SP2Cs and F4Us I think are the designations in the USMC. He told me of a story about watching a mechanic beating down the indicator flag for the wing folding lockpins while the pilot was preparing for a mission. He said if he was the pilot that he would have pulled out his pistol and shot the mechanic. I'm sure he was exaggerating. I relayed this story to someone who was familiar with the wing folding/locking mechanism. He said that it was standard procedure to use a rubber hammer to pound the area near the lockpins to get them to drive into their fully locked position. My dad had a tendency to jump to wrong conclusions sometimes.

[@ditzydoo4378]

It always seemed strange to me that the Wildcat and Avengers were operating off the small baby flat-tops, while we're told the F6 Hellcat and F4U Corsairs couldn't... 0~o I mean just look at the size of this thing. Flying barn much with an internal bomb bay that can carry a Torpedo... I believe it wasn't that they couldn't, it was simply because both the Wildcat and Avengers wings fold back along the body, while the Hellcats and Corsairs wing fold upwards it was a case of useful space/loading. i,e. you could get more F4's and TBM's aboard the small ship.

[@f0ob]

She’s a beaut Clark.

[@David-mz3or]

Big plane Lot of wing to fold 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅

[@Cambpro]

So nobody is going to talk about how the second TBM started up without chocks in and then rotated before the tail wheel came off the deck?

[@EllDub]

Probably because both are non issues. It's got brakes. There's lots of tailwheel aircraft that'll take off quite happily from a three point attitude.

[@MECHANIC-VNA]

A/c steering via tail gear

[@carlospeinado2422]

my favorite from world war ii

[@stephennizich2274]

My Father flew these in the Navy

[@JohnChvatalGSTV]

What’s up with the two additional vertical stabilizers on the first TBM?

[@richuar]

This aircraft was formerly an AEW TBM-3W the additional fins gave it more stability to cope with carrying a huge under fuselage radome

[@JohnChvatalGSTV]

@@richuar ah, that makes sense! I hadn’t seen this in person before.

[@DCS_World_Japan]

What caused the backfire on #3's starboard exhaust on landing?

[@erikerice9068]

I don't care what anybody says those L-39's are cool.

[@hughbond1908]

The light blue no 63 Avenger has got very early insignia

[@ekweseman]

Avengers assemble!!!

[@mattb3283]

Those piston pounders are amazing

[@bigbelconut]

The P-51 looks like it has a low tire

[@wtburns01]

What is the first one with the extra tail surfaces designation?

[@brennenevans4349]

extra stableization is my best guess, either that or a anti sub variant

[@SHARKY72]

Curious myself I look it up and it’s based of the TBM-3W which was meant to me the first ship based early warning control and relay platform. Just this one doesn’t have the big radar in the belly

[@williamallen7194]

Wait for me i want to go 😅

[@juliolechuga3125]

Name of the aiplane😊 is corsair

[@SuperOldandSlow]

Y'know, it really sucks when videos get interrupted by annoying commercials.

Peru, IL

[@ungurdani8346]

Salut my friend super car . super video subscribe subscribe .

[@leroycharles9751]

I know helmets give a little more protection but you warbird pilots that wear caps really look the part.

[@juliolechuga3125]

What’s the name of the plane I would like to know ?

[@dyer2cycle]

I would like to say "THANK YOU" for a well shot video, and WITHOUT the annoying "frame rate" problems so many videos like this have..you know, the propellers warping and distorting, standing still, fluttering, spinning backward...they look pretty much like they do in person to the human eye here...

[@jmpersonal2402]

A proper aeroplane engine

El sonido de los motores radiales es emocionante,no como los motores eléctricos de ahora ,es aburrido escucharlos , pues no hacen ruido.
