Here is a video I made while attending the Yanks Air Museum for an event featuring their newly restored P-63 King Cobra "Fatal Fang". It was so fun to get photos of this newly restored peace of aviation history. I had a super fun time attending this wonderful event and talking to many fellow aviation enthusiasts/photographers. Thank you to all the people for the amazing work in putting on this wonderful event! I hope you all enjoy the video and please be sure to subscribe for more awesome content. Thanks for watching!!!!

I like this bird because of its unique configuration, also it was the one with the highest-powered Allison engines (apart from the post-war F-82 Twin Mustang), actually at low to medium altitudes with a 1800hp water-metanol-injection it was something of a hot rod

The P-63, unlike the earlier P-39, had a 2-stage supercharger and wasn't restricted to low altitudes. it's service ceiling was 43,000 feet, a bit higher than a P-51D. The P-51 had more range and was already in service so there was no real need for the P-63 so the Russians got most of them.

Was this the one crashing into the B-17 or is it still flying?

@aviationavenue2261 3 ай бұрын

No. This is a newly restored model that the museum has been working on for a long time.

What was the difference between a p39 and p61

@aviationavenue2261 2 ай бұрын

Both the P-39 and P-63 had unusual layouts. A reason for this was the engine being installed/located in the center fuselage. Just behind the pilot. As a result, this drove a tractor propeller using a long shaft. The difference between the two aircraft was the tail was rounded on the P-39, the prop was much smaller, it was only a three-bladed prop vs the four bladed prop on the P-63. The P-63’s on the other hand was much larger, it’s tail was also clipped as well. Thanks for watching Steve!
