A warbird is any vintage military aircraft now operated by civilian organizations and individuals or, in some instances, by historic arms of military forces, such as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the RAAF Museum Historic Flight and the South African Air Force Museum Historic Flight.
Restored warbirds are a frequent attraction at airshows. Highly modified as well as "stock" warbirds can also frequently be seen at air races, since World War II-era fighters are among the fastest propeller-driven airplanes ever built. Some of the most popular warbirds for races are the North American P-51 Mustang, the Hawker Sea Fury, the Grumman F8F Bearcat and the North American T-6 Texan.
Although the term originally implied piston-driven aircraft from the World War II era, it is now often extended to include all airworthy former military aircraft, including jet-powered aircraft. Vintage jet aircraft in airworthy condition, however, are much rarer due to technical complexity.
Sometimes, newly built replicas and reproductions of vintage aircraft are called "warbirds," such as Allison V-1710-powered Yakovlev Yak-9s from Yakovlev, Messerschmitt Me 262s built by the Me 262 Project and Focke-Wulf Fw 190s by Flug Werk; this can include any one of a large number of different aircraft designs from between World War I the late 1930s, when military aircraft design was less complex. Such replicated warbirds may even be powered by vintage engines from the era of the aircraft design being flown, as Cole Palen did at his Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome aviation museum with accurate and airworthy reproductions of the Fokker Dr.I, Sopwith Camel and Sopwith Dolphin World War I aircraft.
Collection of Warbirds takeing off at different airfields. P 51 Mustang, P40 Warhawk, Grummen Avenger, Fokker DR. I, Junkers Ju 52, Antonov, YAK 11, YAK 3, F4U Corsair and much more. Enjoy and share this video. Thanks
I captured some nice engine starts that I thought I'd combine together as a video. Then I noticed with props (Radials & V-12s) along with military jets that the video was getting pretty long. Then I noticed with props (Radials & Vees combined) that it also was too long. Looks like this will be the first of three videos: Warbird Engine Starts — Props & Radials, Props & Vees, and finally Jets. Radials is done, Vees is done, Jets 1950s to 1970s is done, and modern jets still needs to be started. Grumman F4F Wildcat, F4U Corsair, F7F Tigercat, F8F Bearcat, Goodyear Super Corsair, Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Consolidated B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell, etc. Notice the art of starting a radial engine.

It got pushed back a but due to the M1 Irons, patches, and BO3 stuff but is on track again. I talk about its health, defenses, LMG damage, rocket damage, and the module add ons.

Like many of us, Bob DeFord of Prescott, Arizona, dreamed of owning a Spitfire. Like most of us, he couldn’t afford one. Unlike just about any of us, however, he did something about it: He built his own. Take an up-close look at his remarkable homebuilt Spitfire, built to 1:1 scale and powered by an Allison V-12 engine. It was one of the true stars of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015.

War, the name of the game
Take you down to the wire
There's gonna be hell to pay
Gonna set you world on fire
Bombs, blowing it up
The order, annihilation
This is the way we'll fuck you up
Welcome to your devastation
Fly with the warbird
Die by the warbird
Fire, give it all you got
We're gonna make the fuckers burn
Raining death from high above
Way past the point of no return
Rush, unleash the power
You'll never see the coming attack
At three thousand miles an hour
You'll never feel the god-damned impact
Perish in a fiery hell
No turning back
You'll never live, no story to tell
Get ready, second attack
Boom, they begin to strike
The ultimate supremacy
Never before have seen the like
