Start-Up and Taxi of Vintage Fighter Aircraft

[MegaLola48]

fuck you moron

[TheMuffdivr]

You must have your head up you ass Rosacruz. Hartmann wasn't even in the Spanish conflict and from what I've read, 7 of his 352 kills were American flown P-51 Mustangs. It's all in the skill of the pilot, and the RAF and USAF just didn't have it.All they had was an unlimited supply of mediocre pilots. Russia + Japan had better aces than England or the US, so your point is? ALL of Marseille's 158 kills were against RAF and US fighters.Basically put, he was Enland's "bloody nightmare".Equal my ass

[Skippie1944]

@TheMuffdivr With your logic, if the Aces of Britain and her Commonweatlh (not just England you retard!) or the US had such mediocre pilots then Marseiile's achievements can't really have been that great!! What a load of bollocks!! Pilot skill is only one factor in what was required to win the war. TheMuffdivr - another "Youtube historian with the mental age of 10" trying to rewrite history! :oD

[TheMuffdivr]

All I can say is, if Joachim Marseille or Hartman were in that Me-109, all 3 of those English aircraft following him would be eatin' shit once they got in the air.

[Phoenicion]

My god this is fantastic to see them all. is there another video them flying??

[minuteman3]

Yes Ladies and Gents. Thats a real 109 too, no merlin powered one. Very nice!

[heriberto2271]

I love me 109 is was the best in the wwII

Best regards from mexico

[lostintheapplasauce]

o ur dead man. no ur dead.  its on now!

[jmac0414]

The 109 (White 14) has a bit of history behind it. Apparently, as the owners were restoring the airframe, they uncovered the original werke nummer. Upon further research, it was found that Hans Joachim Marseiis, the "Star of Africa" was trained in that aircraft. His aircraft got a bit close to England, and was shot up by RAF Spitfires. After finding that bit of history, it was decided to restore the aircraft to the time when Marseiis flew it.

[talkonfox]

Really a big attraction ,whatever the colour scheme of them arranging all together in a row, and the sounds ! 4 out of 5 ! :)

[GreatGardenGnome]

Nice, I was there that day. Thanks for posting. From what I have read, the Me cockpit was indeed cramped, but some pilots didn't mind, they felt part of the machine.

[Gallade3001]

@1littlelee You are an asshole

[1littlelee]

didn;t the german realise that blades on Aircraft are supposed o spin faster lol

[ColaWhiski]

To see a great picture, the best hunters of the former enemies side by side. warbirds-power.de

[jonqdrum]

i remember when russell first purchased his collection, and bought an abandoned strip in fort eerie from the war, and put on the first display of these. i wandered out to the departure end of the strip in the grass and the 109 and spitfire climbedout over my head by maybe 30 feet...pretty rad experience...the next year they had it all blocked off and patrolled. these planes are why i got into aviation.

[Strawberry7Lynn]

During wartime, all those planes needed an Ac Barrow to start them up. How come they don't need them anymore?

I take it the propellers on those aircraft are spinning a lot faster then they appear to be turning.

[tomasperry]

No doubt about the qualities of the Messerschmitt, but it looks horribly cramped and God be on the side of anyone trying to get out in a hurry.

[Rosacruz01]

Hoo yeah the Spitfire... is a very pretty toy, but the Messerschimtt is a killer machine!!!

[darkmossie633]

@Rosacruz01 think you got it the wrong way round?

[Rosacruz01]

@darkmossie633 Hahahaha Yeah you're right, may be the Spitfire was a best fighter than the Bf-109, just a little, but the Luftwaffe pilots was enormously superiors than the RAF ones!!!! And this even a wise guy like you can't deny...

A pilot, Raymundo Rodríguez said: "The machines comes and goes, but the pilots and his exploits are eternal..." Remember that!!!

Greetings from México!!!!

[darkmossie633]

@Rosacruz01 well, here are stastistics on BATTLE OF BRITAIN just for starters

SPITFIRES  shot down 357

ME 109 shot down 533

which of course illustrates your point that Luftwaffe pilots were "enormously superiors" to RAF pilots

- hahaha!

Greetings from UK!!!

[Rosacruz01]

@darkmossie633 Well, here are another statistics for you, not just of the Battle of Britain, first there are a few statistics of german and brithis pilots of WWI:

Manfred von Richthofen: 80 Victories, Lanoe Hawker between them...

Ernst Udet: 62 victories.

Erich Löwenhardt: 54 victories.

British:

Mick Mannock: 61 victories.

James McCudden: 57 victories.

Albert Ball: 44 victories, but killed by Lothar von Richthofen.

Billy Bishop, Ray Collishaw and Billy Barker was canadians hahaha

[darkmossie633]

@Rosacruz01 sorry, but I thought we were talking about RAF Spitfire pilots versus Luftwaffe ME109 pilot statistics?

-i think your brain slightly gone hahaha

DID you look at STATISTICS i sent you?

In Battle of Britain:

RAF Spitfires shot down 357

shooting down your belief that Luftwaffe pilots were quote "enormously superiors" to RAF pilots

As I REPEATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

again

LUFTWAFFE ME109 shot down 533

-are you looking??

[Rosacruz01]

@darkmossie633 Finally a few statistics of the enormous number of german and british aces: German aces: Erich Hartmann: 352 victories. Gerhard Barkhorn: 301 victories. Gunther Rall: 257 victories. Otto Kittel: 267 victories and the list continues... British aces: Johnnie Johnson: mmm well 38 + 3 probable. Brendan Fitzpatrick: mmm 32... Sorry, I cant continues... Look friend, both rivals were very brave... Long live for the Queen and the brave Albion!!!! Greetings from México...

[turboslag]

@Rosacruz01

Apologies to jump in late. Those kills that you state by Hartmann, Barkhorn etc, were those against the RAF or all allied Airforces ? Considering that the Luftwaffe flew against the likes of Spain etc, it wouldn't surprise me if they accumulated so many kills, but I bet their percentages against the RAF and USAF were more equal !!

[darkmossie633]

@Rosacruz01 what WW2 flight simul yu playing?

[germaniajim]

the messy outclasses them all and sounds best, too.

[darkmossie633]

@germaniajim -yeah of course!

-that''s why you won Battle of Britain, and then invaded England

[uzimodem]

outstanding,...wow!!!

[betterthanbrad]

The Lucas starter motor as usual on the Spitty causing a holdup again!!

[kenns9]

And White14 has a SWASTIKA!!! i thought that was BANNED.

you notice how 'jerki' the E4 was starting to taxi!!..Emils ARE A BITCH to taxi and change direction., you have to throttle up, push down on stick to lighting the load on the tail wheel, hard rudeer in dirction of turn and stabb the brakes...ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

[Jaliya48]

great video! I love the sound of these warbirds (specially the merlin!)

[justforever96]

The white smoke you see often on warbird startups...is that from a cartridge starter, or is it just from fuel in the cylinders?

[FiveCentsPlease]

@justforever96

Fuel and/or oil. Radial engines are the worst for smoke when oil collects in the lower cylinders, but there are scavenge pumps to pump out most of it before starting the engine and the reminder burns in the exhaust. Starting a radial with a cylinder filled with oil can create a condition called hydraulic lock that can severely damage it. Cartridge starters were used in some applications.

[GhostofCicero]

Was that a Lancaster at the top of the screen there at the end?

[12345guy2]

Yes it was. The CWHM has the only flying Lancaster in North America. It's also the only one you can purchase a flight in. People come from around the world (mostly WII Common Wealth countries) to fly in it. You can see close up video of it in my other clip "Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Flyfest 2008 Aircraft Start Ups". Note that these videos are not the best - they suffer from lack of close-ups. I think the recording of the vintage engine sounds is their best feature.

[NinjaArt99]

LOL I THOUGHT THEY WAS RC...till i saw the guys arm move

[AtomWofW]

the hurricane looks a bit fat ;)

[loris1423]

oh ok messerchmit bf 109 gosh sorry for the political correctness geezzz calm down

[loris1423]

sxzoo hey i was there it wasnt a focke wulf 190 it was a messerchmit 190 with a different engine in it just to correct you :)

[rockithoney]

@loris1423 A "messerchmit 190" and you correct others? :))

[dzdz80]

A pity most were scrapped after WW2...

[Siws67]

I like that it looks like the propellers stand still:D

[kaiserkid01]

wouldn't it be great of that 109 was sent over here to the UK for the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain next year

[TheMabo63]

5*  nice!

[sxzoo]

Great filming fantastic point of view, if your ever in the UK you must go the RAF Duxford summer airshow, if you think this film is great wait till you see what they have flying at their Flying Legends Show!!

I was at this summers show and was excited to see a Fock wulf 190 chasing Sptfires & Hurricane's !!

[Wiggling]

omg this was so nice!!! thx buddy... i rated 5 stars :)

[daswurger]

what a view! beautiful!nice made,thanks a lot

[LfcGoddardENGCJG]

my moneys on the RAF

[smorgasbord3]

Nice sync with the camera shutter, the propellers look cool

[12345guy2]

For anyone interested in Lancaster bombers or other Canadian warbirds, I've just posted a separate video taken at the same show. A number of clips were stitched together. It's not the most exciting video, but some will find the planes and sounds interesting.

[roldancbu]

P-47 thunderbolt not P-41

[Yamaha950]

and to think they could have met 60 years ago trying to shoot each other down, and now they fly together in a peaceful manner.

[Xenophoebus]

Imagine a dogfight with ink balls instead of real ammo

[shitstreaks]

SIM ROUND DOGFIGHTS!!!!!

that would be the shit

[AtomWofW]

there are allready some dogifghts... you can order a flight in an wwII fighter, to fight against another one. It works somehow with infrared, and when you would hit the other one it smokes a bit.

[asmumy]

Is that an Avro Lancaster in the background at the end of vid?

[12345guy2]

Yes, it's a Lanc. I had other footage from the airshow and stitched it together. A start-up and shutdown of the Lancaster is included.

[darkmossie633]

Last but not least, the

Hawker Hurricane, responsible for 60%

of kills in the Battle of Britain,

mainly German bombers, while the Spits fought off the Me109 fighters

[kristenburnout1]

@darkmossie633 Yep, I agree 100%. I like that you point out that the hurricane shot down the bombers, and the spit shot down bf109's. Both was great aircraft, but in their specific roles.

[eltfell]

I'm not sure, but isn't it - according to the aircraft manual - forbidden to taxi a Bf 109 with the cockpit canopy open?

[crumblingtown]

would be nicer if they had a P-41, these are some of the deadliest airplanes during WW2.

[falterleinchen]

The deadliest is the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, this plane would be nice!

[darkmossie633]

it was for a while, until Spitfire upgraded to Mk.1X

[jetdog95]

P51 and no not the most deadly

[Phantomrig]

Never heard of a P-41?

[trains457]

my to favorite planes of WW2 are the Messerschmitt BF-109 and the Japanese A6M5 zero

[r32adt3db]

they had several paint schemes. which one are you talking about?

[planesfreek]

i was here its was so cool seeing them flying formation with the Lancaster

[12345guy2]

You got that right. I'm looking forward to Father's day this year and will shoot a better video then. Hope the same planes are there. If not, there's the Friendly Foes Above the Falls Airshow on June 5th.

[voodish2]

How come that the bf109 has not the inertia start up? have they replaced it by a generator?

[12345guy2]

Go to the Russell Aviation Group's web page. You can find them through Google (YouTube won't let me post the link). Their email address is there and you can ask them your question. I couldn't tell you the answer myself.

[AirShowBlogger]

So, how'd you get such a vantage point?!

[12345guy2]

It's not like your average airshow. The museum has a flightline where the planes park or taxi (as shown in the video). The museum building has an upper deck (it has a bar/lounge too) where you can look down on the planes. My camera work was only so-so. Instinctively I zoomed out when I should have zoomed in. I hope to do better at the next Flyfest next June. Hopefully the ME109 will be there again.

[UNSClead1]

Me and my younger brother at one point were thinking about building a Bf 109 but scrapped the idea due to the amount of money we would need and our inexperince at successfully builing things.

[angsroksacdc4lfe]

what airshow was this?

[12345guy2]

It was at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's annual Flyfest. There aren't as many planes as at some airshows, but as you can see they have a few very interesting ones. One of the attractions there is that you can pay to ride in some of their planes, including a Lancaster bomber (very expensive though). The CWHM has a website explaining their collection. There's a few more details posted in my video description above.

[GoVater]

a dream of my life is, to fly a warbird, spitfire or messerschmidt.... just for one day..

[DuckXT]

Outstanding video, thanks for uploading!

[EXITUS01]

great vid

i think the 14 is the only bf109 e7 on earth!?!

[powerheli777]

This is a great video,and great airplanes!!!

[Polypythat]

the retard has ruined it by setting his shutter speed at the same FPS as the bleeding props. what a numpty

[12345guy2]

Do you have any idea how long it took me to get the shutter and props fully synchronized? And that's all the thanks I get?

No seriously, the video was taken with a Canon Powershot (still) camera set on auto, and this was my first time filming prop driven planes. The frame rate can be adjusted. Care to suggest an appropriate speed?

[cessnaoneeightytwo]

oh shut up Polypythat

[Jmendez222]

that was alwright
