My Grandfather was a Tuskegee Airmen (332nd Fighter Group) and part of the Los Angeles Chapter. They blessed me with a replica of their bomber and the P-51C Redtail on the back when he passed away.
Such a great, but tragic period of history. These stories must never be forgotten. While, he did not serve in the Army Air Corps, my late grandfather whom passed away around this time last year, was a crewman aboard a Fletcher Class Destroyer. His battle station was a Gunners Mate on a five inch gun. He, and his ship escorted ships across the Atlantic. I thank you greatly for this channel, and these videos. Soon, very soon...all of these great men, and women whom served their nation at their greatest time of need will be gone, and the torch will fall into our hands to keep these stories alive.
A departure from the usual formula but I love it! I have a special place in my heart for "Red Nose" and John was a super nice guy when I met him. Stay awesome tj!
Thank you! :)
Thank you for such detailed introduction to the cockpit, as well as those procedures to take off and landing!

Very amazing how the very necessity of fighting that terrible world war sped up the required technology and ambitious spirit of so many brave and resolved minds to create these magnificent war beasts that outflew and out battled all enemy comers, TJ! Excellent realistic portrayal here!! Jim C.
Yooo!! A legendary war bird walk around! You should do the corsair next!!
Thanks Moonshine!
I enjoy your channel! Please an episode or even a playlist on the Tuskegee Airmen. They are HEROES!
Very cool! Love the P-51, it’s such a valuable piece of historical American military might.
So cool!!! Seeing my all time favorite plane’s cockpit makes me love the Mustang even more!! I would love to take a ride in one!! 🤩
Very very instructive lecture from the horse's mouth. Excellent feature you've tapped into, thanks.👍👍👍
Damm thats a GREAAAAT VIDEO !!!! SO LOVE IT!! WAY BETTER THAT OTHER VERY FEW SIMILAR VIDS. NICE.
Very cool tour !!! Thxs !!!
Thanks for watching :)
I'm a simple man. I see Mustang, I like.
Same
Great vid thanks for the adventure.
My grandfather was a pilot in ww2 I believe the 8th air force in England he was a bomber pilot. The odd thing is after the war he went back to work as a union carpenter owned his own company and everything but I always thought it weird he didn't fly after the war
I met a retired farmer. He had done well on aptitude tests in basic training, and although he was only 19 and had never been close to an airplane, he was offered pilot training. He flew B-24s in the Mediterranean, came home and never flew again. I asked him why. He shrugged and said, "My Dad needed me on the farm." Flying bombers was just a job he had been assigned.
There's one...
I was friends with Norman and Audrey Yates. Norman flew a Mustang while escorting our bombers over Germany. He downed 6 Messerschmitts whip in service. Barrysaid
Can you do a b29 and crawl through the tunnel? 🥺
Perhaps!!
Great video!
Cool Video! educational & informative! It would have been so bad ass to flew one of those back in the day!
Well, no, at least for my wife's uncle, who flew the P51D "Jasper Joker" (Tamiya has a model of his plane, complete with Don's livery / nose art). As happened to many fighter pilots of WWII, the stresses and fears encountered in dogfighting stayed with him. They pretty much wrecked his life after WWII. In extreme old age and suffering from dementia and alcoholism, Don would unremittingly relive horrendous moments. It's a great plane, a brilliant design, a joy to watch and hear flying, but it was more than bad ass as far as the pilot was concerned. Every moment behind the stick in enemy territory was maximum effort.
Very cool! I got to go for a fly in a Cessna was no mustang but it was a blast.
Here's another one.
I want one.
So... Here's my question. What the name for your Mustang if you own one?
It would definitely have a pin up girl on the side I will tell you that! haha
"Randy Redhead" turning and scowling at you with an arrow nocked in her recurve bow and a quiver full of flaming sparks
Nice
Enemy spoted
Bf109 incoming
Huh he was right last night I didn’t expect this
Lol
Lets see how many people left comments not about the video itself, but about themselves/their families' war stories....
A , Q : can a P 51 landing in a carrier ?
One could, it was modified to land on carriers with reinforced gear, landing hook, and reinforced frame. Also, it only did it once since landing speed was so close to stall speed. but 99.99% of P-51s, no, it's strictly land based.
