P-40 Cockpit Tour

[belzebuthhhh]

le meeserrssshmit etait mainte fois plus rapide

[randomguy8208]

@belzebuthhhh that is true but apparently speed didn't help Germany in the end of the war

[F4Ucorsairguy1]

all the planes i flew, the P-40 is still in my opinion, the best to fly. Some say its not, but when you enjoy flying the P-40, it is truly amazing

Awesome vid, thanks for posting. With the RAAF it was A29-414 Come In Suckers. Crashed while landing at a boggy airfield, one of the wheels colleapsed and it nosed over and caught fire. The fire was put out and it was bulldozed clear of the strip to make way for other SQN ACFT coming in, all low on fuel. It remained in situ until it was recovered in 2001.

Therefore this restoration is a credit to those who carried it out.

i recognise the soundtrack played at the end. wasn't it on the final scene in "backdoor sluts 3"?

I´ve always been a staunch P-40-lover ever since I saw this flying marvel for the first time, and I know that during the war, the US army nicknamed it "the old exterminator". What I never knew so well, however, was the general impression of all those fighting pilots who at some moment had the chance of piloting a P-40 during the war. Did they like it dispite its "humble" performances since the mid-war or did they dislike it as many fighting pilots disliked the P-39 Airacobra?

[kolbpilot]

@AlanMartinNala I think every pilot that got to fly a P 40 (not me of course) enjoyed it. Although not the shining star it once was, is served all through the war well enough.

geo1gin2 Salute you

wish i was born in this time :)

i am today military pilot but here is no honor at all

this days was knights days

S!

[geo1gin2]

This is the first fighter that I flew when I was 19 years old . From there I went to

P47's and then to P51's in combat..

I still remember the P40

[kolbpilot]

@geo1gin2 What a different age that was.  Now look at the typical 19 yr. old. I'm not saying good nor bad. Just different. I was born in '58, but wished to have been born around '22.

[Davathu619]

@geo1gin2 did you actually drive those military planes, my question is how i mean aren't they expensive thats what i heard, also how old do you have to be to drive a plane

[TheDigimak]

@Davathu619  you fly them, not drive them

[HDaviator]

@Davathu619

He flew them during WWII buddy. And you can start flight training at any age, but you need to be 17 to get your pilot's license.

[TheMANDING0]

@geo1gin2 YOU are a very lucky man!

[howieb38]
