    The U.S. Naval Aviation Museum is must see. If you haven't been there, it is worth your time to make plans to go see it. The tour guides are top notch, the airplane displays are first class and the layout is well thought out. Our family has enjoyed seeing the museum many times on our vacations to the gulf coast, your family will too. So proud of those that serve our country!

    Just out of curiosity, why does the KZread panel for this video feature a BF-109? There were a few minor exceptions, but In general, US Navy fighters were largely absent from the European Theater of the war.

    So much public opinion supports the P-51 Mustang because it’s such a beautiful aircraft but in truth the Corsair was an overall superior aircraft as it was able to provide both ground support as well as air superiority over enemy aircraft plus other mostly ground operations compared to the Mustang. When the Korean War began the Mustang was withdrawn after the first year because of it’s inability’s to provide air and ground support compared to the Corsair. It’s sad that most people chose to compare the two aircraft to WWll when the long term overall performance shows the Corsair to be the absolute winner in capability and performance.

    Why is the Naval Aviation Museum loading this wonderful presentation in 360p in 2020? Doesn't their budget allow for a 4k video camera?

    The editing of this video was jarring at times 🤪

    Just found out. Ed McMahon was a Marine flight instructor of F4U Corsairs during WWII and was about to be sent to the Pacific when the war was won. He did see action in Korea with 85 missions and six flight medals. A hell of a guy.

    Excellent presentation, even if the video editing is very crude. Grateful to all involved!
