Cool...but uhhh, the walk into the prop line at 1:30

 

Nice!!

 

i think they shoud have taken the truck it was mounted on outside and opened the the gas on the engine..

 

I want one mounted to the back of my truck...

 

One of my personal favorites that shows up to the Reno Air Races!

 

Awesome!


Nothing quite like the "D" model Corsairs.

Baaaaaaaaaa no Scott, I wasn't calling ewe.

 

Having worked around prop driven aircraft for most of my life, I can tell you that his close proximity to the prop is not that close, especially when the engine is idling like that one is. It is quite common walk even closer to the spinning prop from behind to check something on the engine. Just don't try that from the front.

 

Alot of power and torque there...

 

Sorry guys maybe I dont appreciate the romantic, old school power but I'll take the gas turbine anyday

 

But then its harder to see what happens to the birds...
