SHF A-26B Invader fast bomber Sugarland Express Ski airshow Norway Sept 92

[loflyerz7]

i read somewhere that both sides used the A-26 at the bay of pigs....can anyone confirm that?

[gettinghosed]

The A-26 was the only aircraft built and flown in WWII that also saw combat in Korea and Vietnam and many still fly today.

I could only imagine what it would be like to load one of those. ex load cheif. 86 to 97 . rock on bombers

I've watched this video so many times. I absolutely love it. Just picture being a german during the war and being able to hear that power and not see it coming in. Awesome. I think i'll watch it again and with the volume up loud!!!!

[lander4545]

Those engines are supercharged 2000hp Pratt & Whitney's. With eight or more 50 caliber machine guns up front she was one of the most feared planes of WW11. She could out turn a German ME -109!

[jakob252]

@lander4545

Gotta call bullshit on ya. Not supercharged engines and no chance in hell of out turning a fighter like the ME-109.

[lander4545]

@jakob252 It's called "feathering" the props! Partial power on one engine and full throttle on the other,turning on a dime all the while firing the 50 calibers! This is documented in many WW11 publications by the pilots thenselves! This maneuver was also why the P-38 Lightning was able to shoot down so man ME-109'S! Next time try doing some historical homework before drinking your cheap beer and spouting off on Youtube about facts that you know nothing about!!

[jakob252]

@lander4545

And that supercharged thing you claimed? Still bullshit -as is the rest of your story. As you are clearly not a pilot you don't know that you cannot reduce the radius of a turn by decreasing the power on the inboard engine. Possible in theory if you performed a yaw only turn, but not possible in real life. This from a pilot, historian, aviation museum curator, historical society president, aviation author, etc.

[lander4545]

@jakob252 WOW! Another pathological lier on Youtube! And I'm a flight engineer for NASA! LMAO! The Supercharger used in the A-26 Invader's Pratt & Whitney engine is a single stage single speed centrifugal type unified with throttle via AEC automatic engine control. You can hear the supercharger in the video you moron!

[lander4545]

@jakob252 In twin engine planes the torque of the engine causes a left rolling tenency.For each and every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As viewed from the cockpit, the crankshaft on an American-made engine rotates clockwise. The opposite reaction is for the airframe to roll to the left. Gyroscopic precession from the rotation of the crankshaft causes the airplane to yaw (turn) to the left........................

[lander4545]

@jakob252 The propeller propels air currents around and about the airframe in a clockwise direction.The airstream strikes the left side of the stabilizer and rudder,yawning the nose of the airplane to the left! A left turning tendency results fron the FACT that the descending propeller blade takes a bigger bite out of the air than does the ascending blade,which is on the left!WW11 pilots used this phenomenon to there advantage in a dogfight which allowed them to OUT TURN a German ME-109.

@lander4545

Let me conclude on this note. The A-26 is a cool airplane with a great history and it makes a great noise. Props to those who served, fought and sacrificed and to those who keep them flying so that you and I can enjoy these echoes of history.

48 years ago today my father flew one of those at the Bay of Pigs.

Sweet sounds. Great video.

[Kjellern150]

Thanks a lot ;-)

[GDumbrell]

my god, they didn't half give it a good run. And i thought the duke of brabant B-25 display was mad enough, this was insane!

[joebobshouse]

Kjellern - In another U-tube vid. featuring (Yak 3) the airshow announcer states "..sounds like that could be considered useful as antidepressants.." Your little production here has the same effect :) I guess we all need a little doppler shift, now and then (:) Thanx!

[Kjellern150]

You are welcome ;-)

[sherlock72]

Great videos Kjellern.

[Kjellern150]

Thanks ;-)

[70HeavyChevy]

what an awesome plane. wish more were still flying. the superchargers in those r2800's really sound pretty damn good, too.

[DBackJack]

Great video thanks ! It's on my favorites list :) What a great plane this is.

[Buckeroo44]

I saw a bunch of airshow reversals, but no Cuban Eight. Did I miss something?

[Kjellern150]

Ups, why did i wrote that?....hmmm. Sorry...no this is not an cuban eight. It`s more like a barrel roll. You have not missed anything, thanks :-) (writing...not thinking ;-)

[propellskalle]

They used to do Immelmans. More or less a half loop with a half roll off the top.

Ususally performed in formation with the Mustang. As I remember it, they used to pull to the vertical in formation, then both did a quarter roll to either side, then they pulled over the top, both performing a half roll to the upright attitude flying away from each other. Impressive..!

[pfiffer2974]

looks like that firefighting aircraft in that

movie called ALWAYS.

[Kjellern150]

Glad you liked it. There is more to come.

[Dieternern]

wow wow thanks for loading up this video, watch my videos!!
