The legendary F4U Corsair comes alive as its massive Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine starts up — pure WWII aviation history, raw power, and mechanical soul in one moment. Turn the sound on 🔊 #F4UCorsair #RadialEngine #Warbirds #AviationHistory #EngineStart | Warbirds

The Pratt & Whitney JT8D low bypass turbofan is one of the most significant jet powerplants in the history of aviation - starting life on the 727, the DC9 , later the 737 and not to forget the Dassault Mercure. With having this pair of engines and all going well, soon displaying them at the National Transport & Toy Museum in Wanaka NZ we will be paying tribute to the JT8D's legacy and as per our plans they will eventually be part of the B737-219 (ex ZK-NAD) display. Keep watching out for updates

I finally get to catch up in person with our Pratt & Whitney JT8D-15A engines at the National Transport & Toy Museum Wanaka NZ. We are going hard to next level - keep watching and please keep supporting us in our efforts to Bring our Birds Home. https://www.nttmuseumwanaka.co.nz/ www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/bringourbirdshome www.bringourbirdshome.co.nz #bringourbirdshome | Bring Our Birds Home
