P-47D at the Hahnweide Oldtimer-Meeting 2019, flown by Jon Gowdy. Aircraft is powered by a Pratt & Whitney R2800 18cyl. Radial engine with over 2500hp.
Engine Startup went a little smoky. It`s a common thing for radial engines to collect some oil in the lower cylinders. That gets burned on engine start.
The B-47 Thunderbolt os one of the biggest and heaviest fighters of WWII with very strong armament.

There is nothing in this world that sounds as awesome as that big Pratt and Whitney radial engine.
Yep...18 cylinders 36 spark plugs, 2 magnetos, 2 distributors, 2000 galloping horses, 4 bladed Ham Standard combine to produce the best man made mechanical sound ever heard!
The Spitfire's throaty growl is my favorite.
Would have to disagree, can't top the Rolls Royce Merlin!!
@@nhot2132 Worst must horrifying and disgusting sound if you were a German tank operator or God forbid, a P47 maintenance crew member...
They all sound awesome, but my personal favourite is the sleeve valve Centaurus radial in the Sea Fury.
You might think that a big, heavy plane would be useless against the fast, nimble Japanese planes, but this thing was incredibly fast at high altitudes; the weight and hefty design allowed for great energy retention and amazing dive chsracteristics. The 8 .50 calibre machine guns also helped. Pilots would climb to high altitudes, dive onto an enemy plane at high speed, then zoom away. Rinse and repeat. "Boom and Zoom" tactics.
That second stage turbocharger made the P47N a very lively performer at the B29's altitude. You bring those single stage supercharged Franks, Georges or Jacks up there and that big Jug is going to make them look crippled before they're even hit.
Also a very reliable engine (and structure), could take a lot of damage.
That and the fact it could take punishment. Germans often ran out of ammo trying to bring them down.
As a kid from the ‘40s I knew all of the aircraft of WW II. Most of my fellows were enamored of Spitfires and Mustangs but I always dreamed of flying a P-47 in ground support missions. You’re a lucky guy.
man i bet you got some wild stories
Just seeing this 4 yrs later. Hope this beautiful "Jug" is still alive and well! One of my favorites for sure.
I think it`s stationed in the UK
I like to fly my P47D... in war thunder :') but well, I can't just imagine the real sensation of this.
Try flying it in dcs world
@@thejaykid34 That's why I"m watching this video. To help me decide on purchasing lol
I fly the P47M :)))
@@nigelwigglwattle I actually was sitting in one. We have aeronautical museum in belgrade. You can sit in bf109, spitfire, p47,p38 lightning, il2 sturmovik etc. and you can use all switches with exactly way that you start it. There is guy in museum that explain it to you haha. www.muzejvazduhoplovstva.org.rs/postavka_donja.php?jez=eng
It's gotta be great!
The P47 is ALL engine. Love that sound!
The plane was designed around the engine and the massive turbo super charger
@@PiotrBarcz and she was nasty at high altitude 🤩🏁
@@davegeisler7802 Oh yeah she was
@@PiotrBarcz the P47M could even catch the Me262 in a dive. The Jug could do it all 👍
@@davegeisler7802 In a dive anything can catch a jet hahaha
My favorite WW2 aircraft. Straight up speed in a dive and 8 MA duece spitting lead at the enemy.
Mine too ! Love the Jug ❤️🏁
The Jug, the Flying Tank, the Legend. The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt.
As a ww2 history buff, I find that to be a pretty large aircraft! And of course, that awesomely reliable R2800 radial! Thanks.
It was the engine in the P-47, F6F, F4U, A20 (I think), and many more
I can't get enough of this
That sound...Amazing!!
Isn't it?
That’s that big ass turbo working ! ❤️🏁
@@davegeisler7802 The turbo was bypassed in this particular aircraft, actually most all P-47's flying today have had their turbos bypassed, some have been removed entirely and lead ballast takes its place. The R2800 still provides good power for the altitudes seen by civilians and the turbo is unnecessary. Only a handful of owners who want everything to be original have kept the turbos functional, the rest just use the wastegate port to dump all of the exhaust instead of sending it to a turbo. Easy way to tell is by looking to see any smoke coming from in front of the tailwheel at startup, or any exhaust stains in that area. If you see none, the turbo isn't being used. Easier maintenance, cheaper, and less likely to cause a total airframe loss if you get an intake fire on startup.
1:22. That “WHOOSH” reminds me of the time I saw two P-47’s in formation at an air show in South Bend, Indiana in the nineties. Awesome.
To me best part...when she was all dripping with dew..you nailed it right there!! Thank you for this! Dad was Pilot B-25H in China
I could listen to this start up all day!
Nellie B. My idea of a crowd pleaser. I've always liked that chrome cover on the hub of the Hamilton Standard 13' 3' prop. Or as I call it the "Big Hammy". You can tell this is an experienced 47 pilot, when he pulled the gear handle up the Jug didn't wonder around. Fun fact: the rear section of the canopy, from the Tempest. Early R-2800, it's got a "Dog nose". Big beast! Looks so nimble in the air. BEAUTIFUL! Great vid!
Ok nerd xD
@@recklessgenesis3476 You're welcome gay gamer
A friend of mine, 96 years old now, flew the Thunderbolt during WW2.
what he said about his thunderbolt?
Respect 👍
For such large aircraft, it's surprisingly manoeuvrable. And from the beautiful noise it makes, I can see why it was called the Thunderbolt. It looks great too
Love that bird & the sound of that pratt& Whitney engine
A Thunderbolt and a FW190, flying together. Twin radials.
Must be an amazing sound. Heavy Metal in the air ☺☺
Happened occasionally during WWII.... but they didn't enjoy each others company as much, back then..
@@BasicModelling That Focke Wulf try desperated to climb that hy
Fw190 is more maneuverable much better overall
P47 can outclimb and outurn a 190, especially at high altitude
I sat in one at the USAFM in Dayton OHIO. It was like setting in a big bathtub. And then I sat in a P-51 Mustang. Felt like a hand in a glove. But the P-47 is still one of my favorite.
0:01 startup 1:19 takeoff 1:34 display 4:39 Landing 5:21 walkaround Sorry for the backround noise. It was crowded. Correction: Plane was actually flown by Jon Gowdy...
I wished you got the whole landing approach. Seeing the touchdown is the best part to me.
@@derykian6029 Sorry for that. No flightline access on this airshow and it was very crowded. Will try next time.
5:35 Pratt and Whitney R2800 ....love at first sight.
Does this one have a working turbo in it?
My father flew those beasts on East Coast patrols out of Dover AFB during the war for the Army air Corps. He was trained to escort B-29s into Japan shortly before the war ended. Despite the devestation caused by atomic bombs, I'm thankful the war ended...
My Dad worked at Republic during WWll. He used to tell my stories of taxying P47 out to the flight lines and talking about the sound of that engine!
The Fatty from Farmingdale ❤️🏁
Love these old birds! Doesn’t seem like such a long time ago this was modern flying. So beautiful
Absolutely beautiful bird! And I could listen to that old radial all day!!
Gottal love the old radials!
Love the bubble top just a much cleaner line
Agree. Like the P-51 the bubble top looks better than the razorback.....
The Brazilian Air Force has made history and is recognized worldwide for its exceptional service aboard the P-47s in World War II.
Yes they did.
Ahahah LOL. Besteira!
Beautiful Jug. Thanks.
I know they've been restored but it's still amazing to see almost 80 year old high performance machines still being pushed like this.
Great video 👍🏻 I’ve been lucky to catch ‘Nellie B’ a few time’s this season either solo or with her teammates
So nice I played it twice!😎
Beautiful aircraft!
It's drop-dead gorgeous!
Germans talking in this video were getting some nasty WW2 flashbacks xD
Yes they were , images of those 8 -50s slicing wings of 109s
Man I wished I had the money and juice to have toys like this.
me too
Well done video! Thank You
Round Sounds . . . God Bless
One of the Best!!! Including the P51D and P38¥
Materiały + informacje dotyczące maszyn latających są fantastyczne i rewelacyjne. Latam z Wami ! W marzeniach......Kaju 72 👍👌
My grandfather piloted this aircraft. And this is definitely my favorite WW2 aircraft
I love the sound of that engine.
The incredible Thunderbolt. Love the sound of that Double Wasp.
Fantastic video Paddy.
Thanks Greg. I had no access to the flightline on this event, so no closeups during the show.
Gorgeous!!!!
The tank of the skies during ww2. Theres a story of one flying back with half a wing missing.
The Flying Tank.
Somewhat true, although we must all admit that the IL-2 was the true flying tank.
@@FedorFox The P-47 ability to take battle damage and still keep flying is legendary. Even the IL-2 Sturmovik couldn't take the abuse that the Jug could and survive.
@@keithallver2450 thats incorrect
@@Tamburahk How so?
@@keithallver2450 P 47 had some real structural integrity and could take a lot of punishment but its not true that IL 2 could not match it.......there are multiple reports from eastern front where BF 109 with 20 or 30 mm canon in nose could not take down IL 2 even with all ammo spent.......
That’s one smooth sounding radial.
beautiful aircraft
Oh, King with armor, R2800 wow, sound is amazin'
The MONSTER ! Fantastic plane ! LOVE IT ! 😍🤩
Super wie immer !
Nothing but respect.
I love the sound of the Pratt and Whitney R-2800.
So ein Monster von Sound
My FAVORITE WW2 fighter!!!
Sounds like my ride-on lawn mower, just a bit more powerful lol. Thanks for posting. Love this beast!
Fascinating historical artifact.😀👍🇺🇸
Slight typo in the description "B-47 Thunderbolt os one of...) just in case you'd like to change it! Anyway, excellent video with some nice smooth shots of the P-47 as she glides through the air with her menacing presence and majestic growl of authority and power!
Ol Jug will always be my favorite bird of its time
My favorite right here P-47 JUST A GOOD SOLID PLANE!
Beautiful birdie! 😍
One of the best
Aviao maravilhoso guerreiro da ww2 é uma pena que no Brasil nao tem esses espetaculos
Hi Paddy, as always a first class vid. Have a fine day. Greets Alex ☺☺
AWESOME! I just subscribed, thanl you for posting these videos up.
Thanks for subscribing!
Beautiful plane!
What a monster...imagine that thing bearing down on you with 8 -.50's firing on your position. Horrifying!
Very nice!!
One of the most (portliest)....but beautiful planes of all time!!
Sikorsky S35 and Grumman F4F want to have a talk.
Quelle puissance , pouce bleu .Jacques
Pretty cool 😎👍
Such a beast of a plane
Love this plane.
thats smoothiest radial startup i ever saw
That is one beautiful combat aeroplane..,.
These thicc planes are surprisingly fast, actually!
Perfekt gefilmt, beeindruckendes Flugzeug. Am Samstag gab es noch eine kurze Formation mit der Buchon. 😎
Jau habe ich auch gefilmt. Mal schauen obs für ein Video reicht.
EAA this week I swear one flew over my house North of Madison yesterday. Had to look up ye old war bird to figure out what it was. A B25 flew over as well. 2 years ago the B17 with the B 29 and a host of P51's, Corsairs amongst others in company followed as I watched directly under from 3 miles north of the Madison Runway.. So cool, I would love ride in any old warbird. My Daughter leaves for the Air Force next month, she wants to be a pilot. Told her reach for the stars!! Maybe even Space Force someday. Climbing steel 2000 feet in the air is the best I can do. Told her, "go as high as you can I have". Now its her turn! Love my mugabug..face book me and her picture in front of the 17
The old school A10
Imagine being in a supply column and seeing that huge silhouette bearing down on you. The eight fifties would already being firing, scary.
Alot to know before you get in cockpit of one of these things, great plane with turbo dual row radial engine
Heavy, firepower, engine, armor this plane had it all. Sexy and beautiful.
Love them
Good old American beef. Love the muscle 💪
What a beast!!!
Beautiful sound awesome plane
That was like the A-10 of WWII
Not really besides the name... It was an escort fighter later also used as a ground attack aircraft. I'd imagine something more along the lines of an F-4 or F-15E would be a better fit.
Yeah but the A-10 is a ground attack aircraft and the F-15 not so much. I guess it would be a combination
@@alexenns3203 A P-47 was not designed as a ground attack aircraft. It was an escort fighter later pressed into the ground attack role much like P-51s and pretty much every other Allied fighter later in the war. Pretty much exactly what an F-15/F-15E is. Both became multirole fighters that were/are still at the top of the curve as far as top fighter aircraft of their eras. A-10s are not and were never intended for anything like that and have never been anywhere close to the performance (again because they're not intended to be) of any contemporary fighters. I'd imagine the reputation for "toughness" and the fact that they were made by the same company is why they chose to reuse the name.
Exactly lol
@@sidefx996 It actually served as a important attack plane and was in it’s prime while doing it. Second it’s successor is the legendary a-10
Listen to that big beautiful GE Turbo whistle as the Jug flys by 🇺🇸😍
One of the best combat planes of WWII. Equiped with a Pratt & Whitney 2800 HP 18 cyl. Radial engine and 6 Browning cal. Machine guns. Used sucessfully by the mexican fighting squad 201 in Philipines
my FAV warbird!!
During the Second World War, a p47 with the name Dotty mae crashed in Austria (Traunsee). This aircraft was restored and flies again
Like those turbocharged quietly engine sound.
that big Pratt and Whitney r2800 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
J'ai toujours aimé son aspect ''brutal'' la puissance à l'état brut Ce sentiment de puissance 🤩
hermoso avion. P-47
P-47D красавчик!
She settled a bit when her flaps came up. Normal as she gains air speed.
Does this particular Jug have the 2 speed turbo? I used to hang around Westpac Restorations and not all of the P-47's that they rebuilt had the turbo in them
I love this airplane. Even more with its brazilian version in WW2
