  • Such a beautiful plane.

  • @mjws6 Dosen't matter SAFETY FIRST!!! he's still close enough to fall into the prop you have to always expect the worst.

  • @ckelley63

    I know this guy personally and he is far from an idiot! He is the best crew chief I've seen. The crew chief is looking for flames and oil/ fuel leaks on start up as drmuelr said. He is not as close to the props as he seems. I am also a crew chief and do this. All part of flying a WWII bomber.

  • Guys an IDIOT!!!

  • @corrolux You get used to it. After a while, you're more concerned if there are flames or oil coming out of the engine than anything. Take if from a Crew Chief. ;)

  • I love planes but theres no way I'd stand that close to a ruddy great propeller with a big fat engine driving it and then walk so close to the tips at the side too. That bloke's over confident, familiarity breeds contempt it would really suck if he got shredded specially in front of all those people. Very scary watching him!

  • @Warhorse500

    Those old engines run on nearly everything that burns.

  • Kinda seems like those old radial engines were a pain to start up.

  • @barmtrail I'm afraid not...and that sucks. 100LL is still available, but even that's supposed to go away. Can't imagine what they'll run these airplanes on when even the 100LL is gone.

  • Is the video camera not able to capture the true rotation speed of the props?
