- You Are There! We've posted a couple of Kermie Cam videos with planes from the early days of flight, thought it would be nice to jump ahead in time and fly something from the WWII period. Step into the cockpit of a P-51C Mustang with me and go over the pre-flight check list. Get a first hand glimpse of what it is like to sit at the controls of this magnificent machine, and prepare to fly it. In parts one and two, you'll see my pre-flight preparation. Then in part three, we'll take to the skies. - Kermit Weeks (20120928)

It’s hard to believe this was only 40 years after the wright brothers first flew
You drive a mustang? Oh thats cute, I fly a mustang
"That's the bomb release. We don't use that." LOL
everybody gangsta until he escorted a bomber to the germany
My dad flew out of Iwo Jima, he absolutely loved his D, named it after my mom. When he died we discovered his log book, many many sorte's over Japan mainland and perimeter security over the island. This plane has a special place in my heart.
Red Tails...
Tucked in Polo Shirt, White New Balance shoes... Dad Mode has been Engaged
What's amazing is how you managed to even get in that thing ,with your giant balls getting in the way...holy cow
Anybody over 60 yrs old wear the obligatory NEW BALANCE sneakers from the eighties, they are stuck on that brand lol ! never fails.
That's not a plane, that's a work of pure aerodynamic art.
One of the most beautiful fighters ever built along with the Spitfire and Fw190.
Kermit, a few years ago my sister took me to your facility in Polk for my birthday,as a huge WW2 airplane lunatic i felt like i had died and gone to heaven,thank you for taking such good care of these airplanes, you are truly envied in a good way, hope you and your family are doing well these days.
I love the fact that this one is a Tuskegee airmen mustang.
Your a very fortunate man to get to own and fly one of those masterpieces of aviation history!
- About to fly in a plane
hands down my favorite US plane ever! My Grandfather flew one in the war and bought one in the 70s that I was lucky enough to fly. This is a beautiful plane indeed.... thanx for the upload.
Thank you Mr. Weeks for this wonderful post. We visited your fabulous museum a few years back while vacationing in Orlando and I had a friend tell me your facility was a must see. I have thanked him many times for turning me on to your facility. I was mesmerized by it and learned so much. I was sad to hear though that you closed it to public tours. I really would like to experience it again for that's what it was for me....an experience. In the meantime I hope you post more of these informative videos. Thank you again for what you have contributed to the education of us regular folks in the glory of these marvelous machines.
No ones going to mention he’s wearing a Rolex aswell. This guy seems like a true badass lol
Spotless airplane.
This is an awesome aircraft. I think even today this is still the fastest prop plane out there, with a top speed of 437 mph. My grandfather, William Walker flew this in WWII in the European theater when he was in the US Army Air Corps. He has told me of a few dog fights he was in against some pretty skilled German pilots. I think he was only 21 back then. He passed away here a couple of years ago at the age of 91. God bless all of those brave pilots as well as all of the veterans of late and today. Thank you for this great video!
