No announcer, no music. Just the sound or radial engines doing what they do best. Sound awesome!!!
Nothing but the music of the engines. Well done.
That was some tremendous video. It was so clear and crisp, it was like I was standing on the flightline.
This is such a low-key awesome event. Free entry, rarely crowded and some incredible planes show up every year!
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!!
What? Grumman Avenger, Douglas Skyraider? Not sure about that correlation
AND collapsible wings to boot.
Just beautiful. So well kept!
Great ear candy; love those radials. Thanks for posting.😊
THIS is some EXCELLENT footage!!!
Great watching, thank you 👍
Simply beautiful
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.
When I worked there as an apprentice mechanic in 1988 there were seventeen of ‘em!
ACAM in Halifax , has one too, complete with water tank, and a extra tank on display
@@davepowell3293 awesome! Just looked up some pics of and it looks immaculate, thanks for the tip!
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.
I remember these on fire duty out of Goleta CA. Wonderful to see one in Fire Fighting trim
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.
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.
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
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!!
Great Stuff AirshowStuff! Just nat sound is the best!
Love the sound of radials
Round engines talk to you...
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.
Very good show. All the planes are fantastics with the best sounds offered.
Beautiful!
WOW i love it, greetings from Mexico.
Engine Sounds amazing!
Real airplanes belching real exhaust! Outstanding!
What a gorgeous planes
Love those old war birds. 👍🛩🪖. I'm retired USAF.
Buenísimo. Hermosas imágenes, aviones y selección de sus momentos. 👍👍🇨🇱
Thanks!
Beautiful, beautiful airplanes!
Awesome 😎 looking forward to seeing a first ever “Pacific Airshow” on the Gold Coast Oz in august
Excellent!😀
I can be with these works of wonder 24/7 and still want more. Gluttony pure gluttony.
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
Music to my ears
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.
That TMB Was Beautiful!!!
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
Cool video 👍👍👍
Thanks for tour movie and the HD. Without stupid music like the others it's Magic just with the songs of engines !!!!!
Actor Richard Boone also Navy TBF gunner
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.
My brother was a rear gunner on a TBM and assigned to the Lexington also.
Great spirit, my Indonesian
Interesting tail on the first one.
Interesting mix of TBM regular two point and more unconventional three point takeoffs and landings...whatever feels good at the time I suppose!
Ola tudo bem,/boa tarde,obrigado ao envio do video a ser assistido desse canal,/sexta feira,16/06/2023.ok
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
Cool 😎 😊
My father in law Jack Cohen flew the TBF Avenger off the Bennington during WWII.
My Dad learned to fly an Avenger during the Second World War, and a Tigermoth,for England ,in training to be a torpedo bomber pilot,but he was only 19 and never saw action,fortunately because the survival rate was 1 in 10,and I might not be alive had he seen action.
the fire bomber scheme is so cool.
to think the B25 at one time flew from a carrier is nuts.
It sure did, 1942 the Doolittle raid, 16 of them took off from the carrier USS HORNET.
This is freaking badass! Like 30 Harley's.
A Harley is 2/9 ths of a Cyclone.
Start up of 51D - Classic, you can almost smell the 130 AVG
She’s a beaut Clark.
Waooo . những loại máy bay này vẫn còn tồn tại, thú vị quá.
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.
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.
That must be a variant version of an Avenger because they didn't usually have 3 tail fins.
What caused the backfire on #3's starboard exhaust on landing?
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?
Avengers assemble!!!
My Father flew these in the Navy
I don't care what anybody says those L-39's are cool.
A/c steering via tail gear
my favorite from world war ii
Big plane Lot of wing to fold 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅
Noice!
😊❤ NOTHING LIKE OLD SCHOOL. NEW TECHNOLOGY NOT THE SAME AS OLD SCHOOL. WHATA BEAST
Name of the aiplane😊 is corsair
What’s up with the two additional vertical stabilizers on the first TBM?
This aircraft was formerly an AEW TBM-3W the additional fins gave it more stability to cope with carrying a huge under fuselage radome
@@richuar ah, that makes sense! I hadn’t seen this in person before.
The light blue no 63 Avenger has got very early insignia
Wait for me i want to go 😅
👍
What is the first one with the extra tail surfaces designation?
extra stableization is my best guess, either that or a anti sub variant
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
The P-51 looks like it has a low tire
Y'know, it really sucks when videos get interrupted by annoying commercials.
Trapizonga!
I know helmets give a little more protection but you warbird pilots that wear caps really look the part.
Those piston pounders are amazing
Nice
Is this at Wright-Pattman air field?
Peru, Illinois
Tou krezzy
What’s the name of the plane I would like to know ?
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...
Where did it take place?
Peru, IL
Peru Airport, IL?
Yup!
A proper aeroplane engine
Faltó una aeronave más de la Segunda Guerra Mundial los aeronaves corset
why not label the aircraft...
а где Тандерболд ? хочу его посмотреть, как он сейчас летает... 🤕- у вас в гараже нет его...што ли ?
