2006 NAS Oceana Airshow - F4U Corsair on Fire

Dan Dameo runs into a problem while starting up the F4U Corsair at NAS Oceana at the 2006 NAS Oceana Airshow on Saturday September 9, 2006. While starting, a fire erupts in the exhaust stream of the aircraft, but was put out by continually cranking the engine and burning the fuel already in the engine. The aircraft suffered no damage and was able to start up without a problem and fly. For more videos and information on DVDs, visit http://www.stevesairshow.com .

What a lame demonstration of Engine fire on start. Either way that F4U isn't starting...

Well, I caught it too late. I heard on the scanner "Corsair's on fire" and scrambled to get the camera on and recording.

the commentator is full-o-shit the cracking is to get the oil that settles out and the fire is unburnt oil and gas being burnt

You're all wrong. Proper procedure would be to get rid of the radial and get something with a Merlin in it LOL. JK! Don't throw anything at me!

Maybe it should be retitled.
