Olham 164 Posted March 11, 2013 Well made introduction into the starting proceedure and cockpit instruments of a great fighter plane: the Vought F4U "Corsair" (by ZENO WARBIRDS). The Japanese feared the "Whistling Death" - named after the characteristic whistling sound of the flying craft. I had the chance to see one on the ILA Airshow near Berlin in 2006 - it is a giant of a fighter, and when it gave full throttle, I was deeply impressed by the sound (and almost got blown away).

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted March 14, 2013 American's always built BIG Fighters (presumably because of the Radial Engines?) Personally...I'd rather be in a little plane...with a shedload of guns! (and a Parachute of course!) :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
