Some planes fly in, but they don't fly out!
The United States Air Force Museum does not fly any of their aircraft, especially a National treasure like The Memphis Belle.
Hence the disclaimer in the opening of the video. It's okay to wonder, any true aviation enthusiast would.
So is it airworthy you did not answer your own question. It's a restoration. Is it airworthy .. do a check.
Each individual viewer gets to decide on their own. It can be whatever you like 😉
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany typical gas lighting
Jesus, is this to much for you to handle Karen? I came to the conclusion pretty quickly that it's not airworthy.
When I spoke to the guys in the restoration hangar, 2 of the engines are Wright, two are Studebaker. Is that right?
Yes there is a Mix of them on there. I also recall someone saying the Belle was one of the first, if not the first to get a studebaker engine as a replacement in theatre.
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany Robeer Morgan said in his book he told his Crew Chief not to put Studibakers on The Belle, they weren't as good as the Wrights.
That's why a preservation costs about 20 times less than a restoration for air worthiness. Each engine, the price doubles.
Absolutely. You probably won't find a 17 anywhere else in the world that looks like a factory floor 1941 finish. Preservation here was the main mission.
I saw her sitting in the park in the 70's. Glad to see she has a proper home.
That she Definitely is! Great you got to see her in Memphis.
How much would joy ride flight be?
Love your work mate as always. Cheers
Thanks for the kind words. Welcome back.
The memphis belle audio really made this all come together
Absolutely. We took a copyright strike just to have that in there.
The sound of these engines is so COOL!
Agreed! Radials are a category of their own!
I want taco crickets. Taiwan will start on 8-27-2024
Great info. And the sneeze ment cut to the camera man. lol
Thanks for watching! Left in sneeze for comedy relief and budget cuts.
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany 👌😂
Some good tidbits in this video, but calling it an "in depth" video is clearly far off the mark.
We went as far in as we could with the time we had.
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany ,so you could have used a more accurate description.
Awesome video. Stuff like this is why I don't bother with cable. I'm just glad it's not owned by the Commemorative Air Force, because they have a awesome track record on crashing down history.
Thankyou for watching! Thanks for the kind words. We try to stick to the point of history and machines, no agenda. Unfortunately we small youtubers cannot control that Ads haha
That bit about superchargers and turbochargers I knew turbocharges were around, but I did not know that the Americans had most of them.
Other countries most certainly also fueled the evolution and technology. The US just had the industry to really implement it quickly.
looked like Inyokern.
Good eye. It was a mix of Oshkosh and Inyokern.
The computers comments are interesting. Did tou know the SR71 Blackbird was designed before computers too? Yup, sliderules and hand drawn blueprints. 50s and early 60s.
Thanks for watching! Absolutely right you are. Unbelievable! Likewise with the XB70, that one is on our to do list next visit at AF Museum.
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany That's right. Few people remember the B70. I look at it and see the Blackbird, the Concorde, and oddly enough Boeing's SST. Seems like history has overlooked the B-70 as well. I have a small collection of slide rules and its fun to show folks how they work. People who ignore history are flabbergasted by them.
its looks like a jackson rhodes guitar😅 very point shapes❤
Ha!
К счастью, для жителей Запада, совковая армия той эпохи не была и вполовину так же опасна, как ее описывали на Западе. 😎
I have a full auto UZI and puts a smile on my face every time I pull trigger it never gets old 😊
Hell yea! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it.
Fake video. No plane can fly with the propellers spinning that slowly. 😉
Why do these "experts" always seem to catch us out!
Wonderful video, thanks for making it and sharing this amazing aircraft with us.
Thankyou for the kind words, it was an honor and privilege to fly and film Doc.
Who are the morons taking selfies all through this video?
This is Iraqi tank with the serial number on every side . It's participated in the Irani War and Gulf War 👍👍
Close, it's an Ex Syrian Army tank that was in the Yom Kippur war 1973 and Lebanon in 1982.
This is my favorite Heist movie!
Can't beat it! Good choice.
Absolutely spectacular
We definitely think so to! An honor and a privilege to fly in.
Nice video! Please continue uploading quality videos like this one! :D
Thankyou for the kind words. Plenty more coming.
Oh, that's my favorite one👌
Thankyou Point Blank Armour! Welcome to the sky!
Four giant engines...slow as hell...awesome engine.
Magnificent sounding beasts.
As a kid in Ireland I remember going to the cinema (movie ttheater) to watch 'Last Flight of Noah's Ark', star of the show was a B29.
Will definitely have to check that one out! Thanks for watching.
It was a shame they chop that B-29 up for making that movie. the only part of that plane left is cockpit at fantasy of flight museum
This guy does not know what he is talking about. He just has a list about things of this engine. Talking points stuff. So sad.
Most of the people who leave comments here have no idea what they are talking about.
We beg to differ. Your more then welcome to make a video on the B-17 engine with the Memphis Belle. Please share the link
STOP calling a turbocharger a turbosupecharger. It servbes ONLY to ocnfuse those people who are unfamiliar with these systems. The negine used a TURBOcharger AND a supercharger.
Okay Karen we will get right on that.
Where did you, or they, acquire the wide sling??
Good eye for detail. I belive it's just a British 37 Patton webbing off a canteen. Thanks for watching.
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany At the 7:47 mark, you can see it is an UZI wide sling, and would love to know where they sourced it from, given how unobtanium they are...
Air cooled engines are the Ducks Nuts 👍👍👍
Absolutely! Radials are the king but this big diesel beast shakes the earth!
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany Nahhh I'm talking about how awesome air cooled Tank diesels are 👍
It's obvious that Soviet designers absolutely didn't give a damn about the factory workers building these tanks. Not a single millimeter of space is spared to enable easier manufacture or repair !!!!
Yes the Soviet industry wad a little different then the Ford style assembly line seen on US Tanks.
Wasn't expecting an Aussie accent here mate 👍😁
Gotta put Australia on the map and show em we can still run and gun! Welcome to the channel mate!
Ken has a great voice for narration.
Later , they got rid of the bow gunner . Reason was , with that position , it took five men to crew a tank . Bt getting rid of it , for every four tanks , you gain another full crew for another tank . Another way the IDF found , to make the most of what they had .
Great information, we have discussed this one on some of our other videos. The US were actually one of the last ones to issue a tank from factory with no bow gunner. Thanks for watching.
israel first main weapon was sten, israel produce 9mm and it was the only ammo that was not is short during early days. some units refuse to use sten cause it was not reliable, they asked for improved 9mm and that's the UZI. it was used as infantry weapon at start (later replaced by the GALIL and later by M16/AR15)
Interesting feedback thankyou for watching.
Another really interesting video.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Very interesting. Again, I learn something new in each of these videos.
Glad to hear it!
Correcting the record. Was Suzy q the 1st bomber to complete 25 missions? Overall?
It could well be however the 25 mission policy was initiated as a direct result of the heavy losses specifically over Europe during daylight bombing. Prior to that you just flew missions with no tour count as it were. Thankyou for watching and providing input.
As one who was trained to use an Uzi, true about 50 years ago, I cannot remember going full auto. The safety was convenient as one click put it into single shot and never pushed the safety slide all the way. The UZi was particularly good in trench warfare, Remember the Jordanians had a super long beautiful FN 7.62, and the Syrians and Egyptians used the Ak. For tank crews, artillery and truck drivers the UZI was great. Think of the modern M4 and other Israeli rifles today that are compact even when fitted with a grenade launcher .
Very cool! Thankyou for finding our video and sharing!
Coool!
RIP Nine O Nine
Callum brought me here! Glad to see you impressed him and showed him some hospitality!
Thanks for coming! Welcome to the channel! Callum was cool.
I think that the most amazing innovations during the war were actually the reflector gun sights and the gyroscopic k-14 computer gunsights. Then the computing pedestal mounts on the B~29, they didn't even touch the guns, the pedestal did all the work. All a gunner did was put the target in the reticule/reticle & push button, the electrically illuminated reflector sight did the rest to great effect. As with the K14 on the P51 & P47 & with the other larger models of different designation in the turrets on the B17, B-24, B26, B25 etc, the reticle was adjustable in size to encapsulate the adversary aircraft or whatever target. It is amazing that this was achieved without microchips, jus rugged tools, machines, & electricity. USAAF Forever!
Very good observation! We have covered a flying B29 in depth on the channel however it was Doc, with no gun turrets. We hope to get to fifi eventually and do the gun turrets. Thanks for watching. Please enjoy the rest of the Memphis Belle Series.
"That guy had blue eyes!" ~Rascal~
"Theres nothing wrong with the Ball Turret Rascal!"
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany I love that movie, Master of the Air & of course your awesome channel. Thank you brother!
Came here from Callum's channel. I like the chill vibes here 👍
Welcome to the channel! Plenty of cool things to see.
