Same for me. The Corsair, The Mustang, The Tomcat. They each make me giddy.

As a kid in the 80's into models of the old warbirds, my grandpa and dad were always on me to build a P51 or a B17, I loved the Corsair for some reason (landlocked cow people who never thought of Navy as a thing). I know if I ever saw one flying I would scream like a little girl, "that's a Corsair!" Beautiful airplane!

Love all those old war birds, but the corsair is by far my favorite.

My dad served on the USS Bunker Hill. He used to talk about the Corsairs and how beautiful they were.

We are all very fortunate that someone has loved and cared for this old bird long enough that its beauty is here for us to enjoy in today's beautiful HD footage. When I was a little boy, this was my favorite WWI warbird and I stared at pictures, illustrations in books and I of course watched Baa Baa Blacksheep. I could only dream about being able to watch something like this and even enjoy the sights and sounds in flight. Boyington's Bastards would be proud!

And to think that they had thousands of kids flying these things during the war. Those boys had the tiger by the tail.

What? Buffet? There's no food line on that plane. Too small.

My father flew this fighter during WWII in the Pacific theatre 1943-45. Not for nothing did they call this the "Ensign Eliminator"! Difficult to land on carriers so mainly used as land-based. My Dad said it had a steep learning curve but once you got to know the plane you had to love it.

Love this bird’s eye view (pilot GoPro) of the cockpit of a banking Bent Wing Bird. There is no WWII fighter plane more sexy that the naturally curved winged Corsair. Upon landing with the flaps fully down, it truly looks like a bird touching down.

That plane is the sexiest plane made. What a thrill and honor to fly this historic airplane. Can’t imagine the feeling of sitting in the cockpit flying this machine. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your service. Wishing you many more days of flying this time piece.

Ahh the Ensign Eliminator! Those blades are huge! Takes a knack to tame that beast!

An absolute work of classic aeronautical art. Hearing the engine start on one of these birds for the very first time in person sent a shockwave through my body that I will never forget.

@@exit1368 it seems like a stunt but it's so the pilot can get out of the plane quickly in case of emergency which was frequent in the war due to many of the pilots having little experience in their aircraft

This plane speaks the era it was built in. Seeing cockpit view almost feels like I’m looking at the 1950s again.

Thank you so very much for this video with no other sounds other than that made by the plane and the flying!

What a nice piece of history and high performance, keep up the spirit and stay save !!!

So much awesomeness!!! I would love to be in it's presents when it's starting.

Superb!!! Love the Corsair, sounds brilliant. That plane looks great. You guys are doing a great job keeping them flying. Best wishes from London Uk

What an amazing aircraft. Fantastic footage, just awesome to see and hear. Thanks for not ruining it with a soundtrack

Masterful. I liked the camera work mixing interior and exterior shots.

This vid gives a good impression of what it means to fly a Corsair. Thx for take us on board.

I like the startup tbh

God, I love these birds!

Congrats Thom!

That is an amazing looking piece of hardware

Looks like he had some turbulence and some engine sputter too. An outstanding fighter and that would always put a huge smile on my face too if I ever get to fly one. Take care of this outstanding beauty. Great video.

Beautiful Bird.
