Corsair Walkaround Jim Tobul Oshkosh 2022

What a nice guy, Mr. Jim Tobul!! How beautiful the way he explains to us!! How he lives and feels his Corsair !! Wishing him always good and pleasant flights and good landings!!

My Dad flew F4U's from 1943 to the end of the war in VMF224 and his brother was also with him. He had the choice to stay Navy and fly Hellcats or go to the Marines and fly corsairs which was what he wanted. He had 3,500 hours by the time the war ended. He loved this plane and called it the queen of the sky. He always wanted to get in it and go and he swore that was how he survived the war. I love this plane and thank-you for the detailed explanation of this F4U-4. So glad there are some left and they are flying!

Man what a great video. This pilot was very generous with his time and information. Loved every second of it.

One of the best warbird videos I have ever seen, and the Corsair is such a beautiful airplane.

Fantastic Walkaround, and amazing demonstration from Mr. Tobul. Enjoyed every second of it, thank you both!!!

Thanks for the most detailed walkaround I've seen on the Corsair..I had an old friend that flew them off carriers in WWII, always loved hearing his stories.

I was an aviation electrician in VMF351 during the Korean War, serviced the Corsair and other aircraft. It is an amazing aircraft, loved it.

Jim Tobul makes this work. Articulate without being caught up in technical details. Not all interviews go this well. Nicely done to both of you.

The best Corsair walk around I have seen. Jim clearly knows and loves his Corsair. More power to you Jim. It's 7:30pm in Stdney, I'm 31 minutes in but I have scotch so I'll stay until the end and my darling wife just told me that my dinner is in the oven, and it's a salad. Thank God for take-away.

I half expect to see Robert Conrad climb into the cockpit. Love this plane, and the looks are just perfect with that gulled wing! Beautiful plane.

Excellent walk-around. Love the focus on seemingly minor mechanical details that gearheads live for.

Best walk around I've ever seen. Use to watch ba ba black sheep, pappy boyington, thank god for him and guys like you, we would be speaking another lanquage. You guys are top shelf Americans. Thanks Jim .

Outstanding walk-around by Jim. What an awesome airplane. Thank you.

Aircraft and the pilot, both immaculate and articulate. This was/is one of your top interviews. Really enjoyed all the details. Thanks for sharing!

The Corsair, Mustang and Lightning are my 3 favorite "fighters" of WWII. This is by far the most educational video Ive seen on the Corsair!

Phenomenal presentation! As the son of a naval aviator (WWII, Korea) I thought I knew a lot about the Corsair, But Jim Tobul really brings it alive. Well done.

I'm in love with this particular Corsair. The number " 416 ", was my old identifier when I worked towing and recovery.

Love that plane. In the early days in Korea, (I'm 93) we always had a flight of several Marine Corsairs (Black Sheep, Checkerboard or Death Rattlers) overhead ready to strike with bombs, rockets or napalm where needed. They were our 'special weapon', which the Army didn't have. Those unknown pilots are not forgotten.

Man if there was a video like this for every warbird... I'd be a happier man! Awesome

I am a 76yo aircraft enthusiast and I love virtually all WWII and Korean War aircraft. My dad was a SeaBee in the Pacific in WWII and even though he never flew any aircraft he was always full of tales about the Corsair. It was _the_ Navy fighter, even for enlisted carpenters or electricans. My dear wife does not share my enthusiasm for aircraft but just follows me around from museum to museum or air show to airshow. But when we visited the National Naval Aviation Museum she saw a Corsair and it became her all-time favorite, She can spot the gull wing from a mile away and loves the sound and the gracefulness in which it carries out the mission. This was a really rewarding video, I loved every minute and learned a lot. Thanks and a very emphatic BZ.

These walk arounds are absolutely fascinating. The bravery to climb in these machines and defend freedom is humbling at the least and a gratefulness unmeasurable. Tyrants will always be resurfacing. Those that stand guard our heroes. Plus its no small effort to do these videos. TY 👏👍

As an airline aircraft technician for the last 32 years, that was a very thorough and well detailed tour of your aircraft. Well done.

As a kid I always loved these planes. Partly from the black sheep series but mostly from historical videos. When I went to patriots point in south Carolina aboard the uss Yorktown there was a Corsair there and I was completely enamored by it.......one of the most beautiful planes built in WW2

This is a man that LOVES his aircraft. Thanks for sharing!

The best video ever on the Corsair

Probably the very best video I have ever seen produced regarding a particular airplane. The videography is superb and Jim’s knowledge and commentary is outstanding. Kudos to both of you for an interesting and entertaining video !

Thank you for this video! What a wonderful delve into the details of my favorite WWII warbird.

Such a informative show, great video quality too. Love the program, thank you. Never realized the could fly to 42,000 ft...

I've always loved the Corsair. This video has so many titbits of info I'd never come across. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Erik. That was an extremely educational walkaround of my favorite aircraft. Jim did a great job with details galore. Excellent camera work, sir. Wonderful video. Also, really enjoyed the show last night with Ryan, Bryan, and Eren. Sounds like Oshkosh was a real blast.

One of the best vids I have seen on here. Great guy too.

Thank you for very complete over view of the Corsair F4. In my opinion The MOST beautiful WW2 aircraft. I remember my dad always talking in great detail about them.; I'm now 74 yo and your video and overview brought back such fond memories. I remember him always saying it was an anhedral / dihedral wing. Now I know why which is amazing. Thank you 1,000 times over.. Great Job.

Outstanding. This is my favorite fighter aircraft from that era. In the right hands it was a formidable foe. I used to know a guy that said that he got to fly the F2G 'Super Corsair' version with the P&W R-4360 engine. He was a cool guy and appreciated his stories. Rest well, Ted Cartwright.

Digital salute to you Jim, keep the dream alive!

Thank you, you sure did give us a fantastic overview on the features, most interesting. My favourite plane. Thank you from NZ cheers Mark

Thank you Jim, it was by far one of the best presentations.

Thank you Jim. I loved listening to you share your love of the Corsair. Brings back wonderful memories. Fly Safe.

Thank you so much! Corsair has always been my favorite and that was an amazing walk-around!

OMG... what a great walk around. Had a F4U4 in our hanger in El Toro for a bit. Was slated to for static display... wish I poked around it more. Talked to a guy at our airshow that spent MILLIONS dragging one out of the jungles of the Philippines and restoring.... amazing. As we all know.... El Toro Airshows were the BOMB!

Great walk through ! Enjoyed every minute.

magnificent aircraft. i now know a great deal more about this airplane than i did before, thanks to this gentleman. THANK YOU SIR.

Outstanding description of YOUR great big beautiful doll.

This is a very interesting and informative video about my favourite warbird! A big thanks to Jim and his father to rebuilt and keep flying this aircraft, and of course thank you for this great walkround video!

Thanks for the walk around. I'm too money challenged to be in the aviation game at all but I've always been fascinated with these old war planes. Especially the Corsair. When I was a kid I would watch the show Baa Baa Black Sheep with my dad and always loved those gull wings.

Great overview of the F4U! Thank you for taking the time to show us the features of this airplane.

41,000' ceiling! Jim was a terrific educator. Friendly, thorough and easy to follow.. Thank you again Erik. Awesome video!

Superb, best walk around I have seen for any plane, love seeing and hearing the Corsair, thanks.

Wow, what a very informative walkaround of this icon of WWII. The Corsair is without a doubt one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made. And in that iconic dark blue color, it's spectacular. This gentleman without a doubt knows this aircraft like the back of his hand. It's always been a dream of mine to fly in a WWII era warbird.

This was such a fantastic video. Thank you so much for taking the time to walk through it all. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this.

This Plane is gorgeous.

Thank you Erik and Thank you Jim !!! LOVE IT !!!

Jim , as a long time fan of your beautiful aircraft , your presentation makes it all so much better , sitting here in Ireland having a few beers at night dreaming of some day visiting Oshkosh !! Happy days as a child watching Ba Ba Black Sheep on TV here...RIP Pappy !!!!.....cheers Jim

One of my favorite planes since I was a child. Always been drawn to the beauty of it. Thank you for your tutorial. Fly high

Great walk-around. Love the Corsair.

The best Corsair walk through, amazing plane

Was that a 1 HOUR VIDEO! Time flies when having fun & NO DOUBT it's FUN to fly this aircraft! And no small challenge either! GREAT & VERY informative walk around. Of the millions of vids on KZhead, This was one I could watch start to end & not get disgusted with for any # of reasons. WELL DONE! Thanks for the education.

I fell in love with this aircraft when I was young and watching "BA BA Black Sheep"

Wow I just started watching and all of a sudden the hour was gone. What a great experience this is. I thought I knew a lot about my favorite plane but Jim's detail walkaround is so neat. Erik, the proper use of the camera and light and operator intelligence show clearly in this video. What a great job. Thanks for this.

Thank you for this outstanding walkaround! You can tell this man loves his Corsair! And we're envious ;)

My all time favourite, beautifuly presented!

She's a real lady Jim! Thanks! love this bird it has always been my favorite!

That plane looks beautiful! It looks brand new! Amazing restoration and maintenance.

Wow, great walkaround! Mr. Tobul is quite a guy, and his Corsair is quite a plane!

This channel rocks. What a great tour around one of my favourite WW2 warbirds ever since I began watching Black Sheep Squadron back in the day.

Thanks so much for doing this video. I learned so much that I never knew before. Thanks to your family for preserving this legend.

Always the best from Erik's channel 👍👊😎

Thank you for the tour. Amazing plane and an amazing pilot.

This is an excellent video on my favorite WWII plane, the Corsair. I learned so much more from this video than all the others I have watched. You made my day my friend. Thank You and God Bless !

Fascinating ! A wonderful presentation!

It is a pleasure to hear someone that really knows about a topic. Great video!

Very informative. Have always loved the F4U. Thanks for the walkaround.

I just watch your video and enjoyed it! I spend 30 years in the Marines/0311 so thank you for your Service. From Saipan keep the F4U Corsair videos coming.

Hello and Good evening Eric Johnston from central Florida. As a "Warbird lover" and overall aviation enthusiast I want to say thank you for the work in putting forward this video. my best friend and I saw Jim Tobul and his beautiful F4U-4 at Sun-n-Fun in Lakeland FL several years ago. My what a heart pounding exhibition he gave. The Corsair remains my favorites Navy and Marine Corps aircraft from it's period. You see I was a young teen thoroughly 'hooked' on the exploits of Greg Boyington and VMF 214 as portrayed by Robert Conrad in the TV series Baa Baa Black Sheep. Ah. The deep throaty rumble of the R-2800 P&W. Mr. Tobul obviously knows that airplane and the opportunity to see him demonstrate that Corsair's capabilities is most definitely NOT wasted time.

What a great walkaround presentation on the F4U and what a nice guy doing it. Chance-Vought's designers thought of everything and it looks like the factory build matched the design quality. The average joe who goes to an airshow, when just looking at the aircraft, wouldn't appreciate all these "Wrinkles and finesses". This explanation brings the metal to life. Much appreciated. My dad was a TBF driver for the British Fleet Air Arm in WW2, so some of this detail is familar to me. It would be nice if a current TBF owner/operator could do a presentation such as here.

what a great piece of engineering, what an airplane, and what it must be to fly one ! We have only a few here in France but I love going to airshows that have corsairs. This is one of the greatest insider I have seen, great details learned. Yep Corsair my first plastic scale model made aged 10, still one of my favourite airplane of all, past and present.

Great presenter, superb detail and knowledge, great aircraft. Very enjoyable, big thanks 😊

Great video. I used to work in the factory where Chance Vought built 6,675 Corsairs in Stratford, CT.

I'm absolutely in awe of this aircraft and the men who flew it. WOW.

Excellent tour of a great aircraft. Thanks very much.

Thank you for this indepth walk-around of the Corsair. My grandfather was in VMF-212 and flew in WW2. Different variant of the plane but still cool to learn about his aircraft

I absolutely love videos like this! Thank you for posting this!

The Corsairs are amazing very very intelligent men and ladies that put these planes together

Absolutely magic, love the Corsair, brilliant. Thank you.

Wow, my fav plane thanks for all the hidden stuff!

Thank you so very much for the walk around

THANK YOU!! AMAZING!The F4U Corsair is my all-time Favorite plane, and this video is Awesome! Informative and Enjoyable!! Thanks for uploading & sharing this. You can't find a better or more thorough video on the Corsair than this! Thanx, Much Appreciated!

My dad flew F4Us in VMF-215 in the Solomons. He said they were so slick that when he checked out for the first time it took him 8 passes before he could slow it down enough to land. I have every book ever printed on the Corsair but Mr. Tobul still showed me several things I didn't know. Great video!

Thanks so much for your presentation. I have never heard anyone explain the F4U as you have. Good job!

Beautiful ship and fabulous walk around with a really knowledgeable "teacher" (aka pilot). I'm not a pilot but I've been an airplane nut all my life and have worked on many types of military aircraft. However, Jim has pointed out several features of aerodynamics about which I was unaware, a couple of which are unique to the Corsair. Love this aircraft and thanks for the tour.

My Moter built Goodyear Corsairs at the Akron Hanger. She talked so much about it and we have her ID Card and her Paint Inspectors card. I am sure glad that Mr Tobul has given this wonderful plane she is a beauty.

WoW Corsair has always been my favorite and I know much about it, but Jim has enlightened me on a few new items, Very informative and interesting Owner/ Pilot.. Great Video also. Hope to see this Gorgeous Corsair Next Year at Oshkosh, it's been 45 years so i thought it was time to go back....

I absolutely love this bird. Thanks to this gentleman for sharing his knowledge. 💙

Ba Ba Blacksheep.....Corsair, my favorite show and airplane as a kid. I spent hours and hours building revell and monogram model kits. Thank you for preserving this legend so that I could see it up front close and personal. Sub'd. Liked.

wow! thank you for being so thorough, love your enthusiasm for your aircraft. Thanks again.

Gotta be one of the cleanest Warbird cockpits 👌👌

7:10 Dang!! Thats so interesting, awesome vid. Loved it!! So many little interesting things I didnt know about the F4U !! 😳😍 410 Knots = 471.81957 Miles per Hour !!!! Whaaa! Oh my lord! So fast!! And bless those guys that flew it! So incredible! What an amazing video! 💖

Amazing video and living history. Thank you for your time

Great interview. Super knowledgeable dude.

My mentor CDR Richard Kaiser flew Corsairs off of the USS BOXER. Love this video Jim!

I love his purist snark. That’s a working aircraft, if you want pure and original, go to a museum.
