No Music - No Distracting Narration - Just screaming pistons in full stereo sound

Living Warbirds: Steel Warriors puts you on the tarmac so you can see, hear, and feel the fierce power of these magnificent warbirds: the roar of the engines starting, closeups of the beautifully restored aircraft, takeoffs, multiple flybys, and landings.

From World War I and World War II, to every other major conflict of the 20th century, victory would not have been possible without the most advanced fighting machines of their time. In battles over Europe, African, Asia, and the Pacific, fighter planes like the P-51 Mustang and bombers like the B-29 Superfortress carried and protected our brave men and women. After their missions were complete, most of these warbirds were neglected and abandoned. A few survived, lovingly restored by warbird enthusists around the world. Living Warbirds: Steel Warriors features these historic airplanes in all of their glory, reminding us of the critical roles they played in the greatest wars of our time.

This is not original engine; however it is great to see this Zero flying again.

[gcvander81]

The Zero owned by Planes of Fame is the only one flying with its original Sakai engine. If CAF did get an original engine for theirs, that'd be sweet to see another one flying.

[roosterinboro]

Anybody know if they had to do a full restore? My understanding is the alloy in the original Zero's, while very light weight, degraded in strength pretty quickly...

[cobrachoppergirl]

Not really interesting unless they are chasing each other in a real dogfight

[collen1974]

yes that's true- starting in mid to late 1943.

[AHCheech]

@collen1974 If it were an A6M2 then I'd agree with you but from the 3 through to the 6 they used green with a grey underside and black cowling for the most part.

[collen1974]

the color scheme is all wrong on the aircraft. it should be a grey body with a black cowling and a silver prop. and to fatturtle144, GET OVER YOUR STUPID RACIST ATTITUDE!!!! it was over seventy years ago you moron

[FatTurtle144]

FUCK THE JAPS THEY SHOT MY GRANPA DOWN :(

[albertsauce]

@Oldsmobile442Estella this is the a6m3. it has folding wingtips.

I found a demo video here somewhere.

[TheCatFan21]

It's great to see two of my favorite warbirds flying together, the Zeke and the P-40.

[SgtGrant23]

to bad that there was an order to the Japanese aircraft at the end of ww2, but the ones that are still around not the ones that still fly are awesome the ones that are at the museum in Pensacola or at the national air and space museum the static Japanese planes are cool
