The red outline on the national insignia was only used for a brief time in 1943, and introduced the bars on the stars. They dropped the red outline for the same reason the red circle was dropped.

Thank you for the high-speed tour. Those models of the carriers made my jaw drop, specially the 1:72 Big-E! Wonderful and thank you again!

I am a retired Coastie and a pilot, but I am mobility challenged. I'd never be able to tour this museum. Thanks for sharing.

Heh, you could hear the History Channel's Battle 360 on the Enterprise in its own exhibit. Possibly the Santa Cruz episode with it talking about the USS Northampton. As for putting models in a pool, have you seen people battle it out with RC battleships rocking little air cannons?

that lockheed super constellation is a thing of beauty , and the catalina too

It is sad that the USS Enterprise CV 6 got scrapped because congress could not come up with the funds to save the most decorated ship in the history of the US Navy! The model that you show in this video is the Enterprise in 1945! Nice video!!!

As an amateur model builder, this absolutely blew my mind. The craftsmanship on those exhibits is breathtaking!

I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for the awesome part 2.

thank you for both CV6 and CVN65

I love that you start this with a view of a Constellation (the 4-engine propeller aircraft with the narrow radome on top). My father spent most of his 22 year naval career piloting Constellations.

A super Connie crew used to fly in coca cola from Guam to Chu Lai in 1967 to the Navy Armory run by two great guys, now where they got cokes was a secret, I didn’t find out till the day I left Vietnam, used to love to go in there and drink a coke or two in the air conditioning with good company, and I mentioned one time to the guys that my M16, like all M16s fired too fast on aut,I ,Mike didn’t say a word, he just grabbed my rifle, took out my buffer and crushed it with some pliers, he then took out a brand new extremely heavy buffer and replaced it, the rifle went from sounding like a zipper being unzipped very fast to chugging, now you could control it, he also took out jewelers files and opened up the chamber and other internal tolerances , rifle worked like a dream, these were the same guys who worked on the Seals weapons, when I turned my weapon in to the small Marine armorer, he was so impressed that he said he was going to keep it for himself, thanks again Mike, I’ll always have fond memories of your kindness and the superconnies that brought the cokes , you have to understand how good an American coke was compared to a Vietnamese one, , like tainted water to Champagne, good memories

Those strange looking tanks can fly? O_O What sorcery is this?

Hey cool, I used to volunteer there when I was stationed in Pensacola. Helped restore a PB4Y.

Spent nearly a year at NTTC CORRY STATION in Pensacola and never did catch the Blue Angels. Naval Aviation Museum & the Blues all at once! Lucky man!

Highly motivated by the model of the Lady Lex with her 8" guns.

I used to Volunteer here. Great place.

nice video

I really like visiting American Museums, a lot of them are free and as stated in the video you can touch a lot of the exhibits this I found is also true at a lot of their airshows.

There used to be a company that sold a R/C 1/72 Nimitz class carrier. The hull was divided into compartments that bolted together to make it transportable.

I've bee there. Great Museum!! 6:33 the ship that I sadly call home...(well a model of it)

Oh no, the planes on fire! (Ejects)

Hello! If your name was put after an aircraft, which one would it be? Great content by the way!

The first models shown were, I believe, an Independence Class CVL and then a little CVE. They don't look like much but were war winning ships.

Given that this is a high speed tour may I suggest that for the next high speed tour you take a screen shot of the display plaque so we can freeze the video and read it. I had no idea what we were looking at for most of this video.

I wish you had slowed down when looking at the Models of the CV's .. they were Awesome ..

1:21 How did you time that so perfectly? They appear from behind the trees just as you finish the sentence!

Not to bad. Pensacola get's hit pretty often so any where not on the beach does pretty well. There is some minor flooding but nothing like Katrina or Harvey. Wind does the most damage by ripping off parts of roofing and knocking down trees. Luckily the museum has a soild category 5 plus roof and is built not far from the bases main runway so there are not trees to worry about the out side planes are all tied down and most where original designed to handle ship board conditions including rough seas.

Though it IS dwarfed by some of of the civilian super cargo ships those things are HUGE.

Here's summit I found interesting but not in any history books....during heavy air attacks in the Pacific, carrier crew were not only dodging shrapnel but AA rounds from their escorts as gunners regularly got the 'red mist' and kept on firing at aircraft even as the crashed into the water. Apparently the gunners forgot that just behind the zero they were firing at was a aircraft carrier and that large caliber bullets travel quite a distance.

The Navy motto: why clean it when you can paint it

I am a bit sad they nerfed the Corsair so badly in World of Warplanes in order to fit a contrived national dynamic instead of the individual planes flight dynamics. It's like playing with a Corsair skin on a completely different aircraft.

If you think this is big and impressive Chieftain, you should visit the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton OH. Its FOUR times as big -- the biggest in the world devoted to military birds.
