Hand-Cranking the Inertia Starter on Restored 1934 Boeing P-26 "Peashooter" Fighter Plane ! (02:09)

This video is of the Planes of Fame Museum's (Chino, California) very own 1934 Boeing P-26 "Peashooter." The flight was part of the museum's flying history event for January, 2012. This is the only flyable, original P-26 in the world and flying this aircraft is a REALLY rare event! The aircraft was obtained by the museum from the Guatemalan air force in the 1950's and restored to flying condition. As you can see, the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 engine is started using a hand-cranked inertia starter. Cory O'Brian really got wailing on that crank handle! John Maloney is the pilot. The name "Peashooter," of course, was derived from the presence of the tubular gunsight mounted in front of the windscreen. There may be some viewing this video that don't know what a "peashooter" is but if you want to know, leave me a comment. Thanks!
