Yet i doubt if you could replicate the real experience of the real Spitfire Merlin going past you and the exhausts pointing right at you. It is like a lion's roar with your head in the lion's mouth.

@@wilburfinnigan2142 you mean the Packard Merlin, the licensed copy of the Rolls-Royce Merlin 61? You mean the fifth best performing Merlin strapped to a fighter during the war? Credit where credit is due.
@@reverseshotgun721 Packard re engineered and made changes to the entire induction system, supercharger, carb intercooler, why the engines used in the mustang were NOT used in any other plane !!! Credit yes where due !!! PACKARD !!! Packard was contracted with originally to build merlins for the BRITS 37,137 of them !!!! 18,000 more went to the USAAF !!! DUUUUHH!!!!!
Thank you for the Quality, Audio and Video. No music mixed with Motor Sound, extra Star! I live in this area, so no problem listening to this 10 times a year. still amazing
When I was 10, my Dad took me and my Uncle to the Mojave air races. It was really great seeing all the old airplanes cutting in close to the pylons almost sideways going faster then I had ever seen them flying before but then, inbound from my right came a bright red plane. The sound it made as it closed in could only be described as an ongoing roll of thunder coming closer and closer. My eyes were fixed on this red image as it flew past me faster then anything I had ever seen before. A slight whistle, a mind numbing roar and two props! I then heard my Dad tell my Uncle that plane was The Red Barron. The only Mustang ever built with something called counter rotating props. I had no idea what that meant and didn't really care. All I knew is that plane was more beautiful than the prettiest woman I had ever seen on TV with an exhaust sound so powerful and sweet that it removed any doubt as to why in World War Two it was the single most feared airplane around and why the Tuskegee Airmen loved it so much. Even today, hearing the sound of the Mustang's 12cyl Merlin engine makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. The P-51D will always be for me a true to life work of aerial art in every respect.
I live under the flight path from LA to the SF Bay Area. In summer when the air show circuit is in swing, I can get some classics flying over. The booming radials you can hear several miles away, but when a P51 flies over, its unmistakable. "Cadillac of the shies". just wow.
Lol... 109 looks better? Has to be one of the worst looking WW2 inline fighters aesthetically. Bf 109 G-10 and K-4 have higher climb rate and they roll faster at low speeds. P-51 is faster, especially with 150 octane at 72-75" mp (USAAF) or 81"mp (RAF), dives faster and turns faster, has longer range and rolls faster at high speed. Spitfire IX/VIII have climb rate equal or superior to 109 G-10 and K-4 depending on fuel octane used and has far better turn rate, rolls faster at low speed but has slower top speed and dive. Spitfire Mk XIV using +21lbs boost is superior to late 109s in every way except dive.
And more importantly,much praise and thanks to the brave souls that flew these amazing machines in battle.without them and their incredible skills as pilots of these gorgeous craft they would have been nothing more than useless pieces of wonderful engineering that were earthbound.
I'd love to see an airshow out in the desert where they allow guns to be put back in the aircraft just to see what a live strafing run looks and sounds like.
I'd love it if they did mock dog fights at airshows. Where two pilots try to see how many laser tags they can get on the other. It would be awesome to see these birds do what they were designed for! Aerial Superiority!
Quality is Quality, Sound is Sound... Allies with USA had better propeller aircraft than germany, but nowadays German tanks sound better than US tanks ;-)
Not just appreciation, but respect...this was the plane that put the German Luftwaffe on notice. Imagine being in Germany and seeing P-51's flying overhead, the P-47 or Spitfire could never make it there and back home like the P-51 could.
Thank you for this!! For me it is like your dream girl, every angle you look at her she is so beautiful!!! Top notch grass field take off, and landing too!
FANTASTIC video. I Experenced being overflown by a B 17 with 2 Mustangs in Southern Florida years ago, and understand why the Germans were frightened by their sound. Watching them 3 fly over, was a VERY Special memory for me, and a FANTASTIC sight. Never forget it. Thanks for this video of my parents generation, The GREATEST GENERATION of ALL . . .
I love the modern jet fighters, the F-15, F-16, F-22, the ugly as sin A-10, but they just cannot compare to the P-51. What a beast. Yeah, nowadays it may be old and slow, but I challenge you to find a more iconic aircraft. Just beautiful.
My heart always speeds up a little when I watch one of these P-51 videos. The head on view is awesome! I wonder how many enemy personnel had that as the last thing they saw?
We were waterskiing at Melones Resevior in California on a summer Sunday morning (1992) when two mint condition P-51's flew above us. Real magnificient beauties! STUNNING!!!
One of the best aircraft to ever take flight. Gorgeous bird, sonorific 12-part symphony up front, flies like a dream. IF I ever find myself rich enough for a LearJet or Gulfstream or whatever I'm buying a P-51 instead.
notformebeaky ..sure all cool. The P51 was the first fighter escort with sufficient range to stay all the way with the bombers but I’m guessing the Cadillac is not known for its fuel economy !!
Fabulous post, thank you. My Father was part of the team at Rolls Royce that was tasked with the responsibility of getting as much power out of the Merlin as possible........they did a great job eh! I so wish I has sat him down in front of a camera and interviewed him about all this before he died........big regret.
What a wonderful treatment of the flight, and "float-around" with the Delta Blues in the background. Erste Klasse! I also 2nd the motion to duct-tape the mouths of announcers when such a thing even begins turning over that beautiful motor.
The mustang had a superior airframe and wings. It could escort bombers into Germany where the Spitfire could not. FACT. It was much greater than the sum of it’s parts. It was far ahead and faster than a Spitfire. FACT.

Amazing video.. Incredible airplane. If you can place yourself in a scenario where this plane is coming after you. Its a pretty helpless situation. It is really a scary looking nemesis. Yet, still a stunningly beautiful airplane. Still exuding a superior confidence and grace 78 years later....
American aircraft with a British engine, unbeatable. Like In the Falklands war a British Harrier aircraft with American sidewinder missiles, unbeatable.
Superb roar of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine will never be surpassed!! Thank God the Brits pushed for the Mustang to be re-engined. It MADE the P-51 into the fighter it became. 👍
Yes, and then the Yanks ...as usual ,... take the credit for the Merlin engines ! It was a piece of junk with it's useless American designed and built Allison engine.
The allies needed an escort that could cross the channel, dog-fight the Messershmits AND still escort(the B-17's) home. The "Skunkworks" got out a prototype P-51 in an AMAZING 6 weeks. This big bird could cruise at ~450mph and only use 60 gallons an hour. That's pretty decent fuel economy. We also used drop tanks, for range. When the dog fight started and it was time to drop the tanks, they acted like little bombs.
I imagine my mother, 8 years old in 1944-1945 seeing such plane, hearing that sound in the sky of Burgundy, France...Liberty !

Marvin Kebab I agree, to many thousands of people, it was the sound of freedom.
The Merlin brought the mustang to life at high altitude. It originally had an Allison that suffered above 15k. Such a beautiful sound.
I like the passes where "you'd all be dead if i was armed" . The mustang and spitfire are both works of art.
The Mustang and Spitfire are both weak against the Messerschmitt Me 262 and BF 109 G6 👌🏻

The allies needed an escort that could cross the channel, dog-fight the Messershmits AND still escort(the B-17's) home. The "Skunkworks" got out a prototype P-51 in an AMAZING 6 weeks. This big bird could cruise at ~450mph and only use 60 gallons an hour. That's pretty decent fuel economy. We also used drop tanks, for range. When the dog fight started and it was time to drop the tanks, they acted like little bombs.
Awesome just awesome thanks for the video
God I would have loved to have been there - I've never gotten to see my favorite plane fly in real life
