We lived across the street from Hayward Municipal Airport and there were two P51 Mustangs that would take off all the time .I loved hearing them taxi and take off .Great sound and to watch them climb immediatly was something I never got tired of witnessing.
My dad also loved this airplane. He took me to see Bob Hoover fly his one afternoon in 1965. It was there he told me that if it weren’t for 4 of those airplanes one cold December ‘44 morning in the Ardennes forest, neither he or I would be standing there. Getting a type-rating in one is on my bucket-list. Gen. Anderson, I salute you sir! When men like Bud took to the skies, Hitler had to do a recount…
My uncle flew a P-51D mustang, he said it was a GREAT FIGHTER they started with DETROIT ALLISON ENGINES THEN WENT TO ROLLS ROYCE MERLIN ENGINE great power 1,700 HP
A few years ago for my birthday, I took an unforgettable 45 minute ride in Gunfighter with the Red Tail Tuskegee flying in tight formation. I LOVE these birds!
I was there in 2001 at the 50th Airventure. There were 19 Mustangs flying that year; including most of the planes in this video. Col. Chuck Yeager was there flying his own 51 Glamorous Glennis! He took up a bunch of young eagles in the Ford Trimotor just before I went up in it and shook my hand and signed my Trimotor ticket after the flight! A few minutes later he climbed in his Mustang and flew in formation with 18 other P 51 Mustangs.. What a sight it was to see him mount up and go. RIP Colonel. Check your six and press on! I remember that line of 19 Mustangs all doing their run-up together. Pretty dang Awesome! Have it all on video. I went on every ride there was and had a blast! Met Harrison Ford, Richard Bach, the owner of Target, the inventor of the Polaris flying boat and many others in my several visits there.
My dad talked about the P51 until the day he died. After the war he never flew again...but the P51 Mustang was in his heart and dreams. The P51 Mustang took his fear of dying away because he was invincible in that thing. He said it turned him into a killing machine from above.
@American Patriot oh dear patriot these words you have written have humbled me and made me weep with pride… Thank you so much it means everything… I am so glad my fathers with the Lord and not here to see what America has become sometimes I wonder if he would think… Was it even worth it.. but maybe that’s just me projecting… Government schools will never teach the glory of the heroes that flew these war birds.. and what it meant for that matter they will never hear about the greatness of America we have to teach them… Again thank you you have honored me and my father🙏🙏❤️❤️🗽🗽
My dad was a crew chief with the Flying Tigers 43-45. Most of the time they had the P47s then one day the P51s came in and 47s left. Then a week later just the opposite. He got to taxi 51 but didn’t have much time with it. Before anyone says something. Yes the Tigers started out as the AVG (flying P40) but when the war started they became part of the 14th Air-force, still maintaining the Flying Tigers name. My dad is currently 97 yrs young!!
@American Patriot thank you very much. We are proud of dad too. FYI my 1st cousin was in Vietnam too. His name was Dennis Marvicsin and he was a cobra helicopter pilot. He wrote a book called, Maverick - the story of a Cobra helicopter pilot. Pretty incredible story.
@American Patriot he flew hueys first then they got the cobras if I remember correctly. If I remember correctly he was shot down 10 times, was wounded and captured and escaped. He passed away after having heart surgery but I can’t remember when. 80s sometime. My brother served 23 yrs guard and active. His two sons were AF and Army. Three generations of military in our family.
My father was also a Flying Tigers and was a crew chief 41 to 45. To this day for me there is no sound that sounds so sweet as one of them Merlin's making a high speed pass right in front of me. My Father gave the love of old war birds. I remember as a child we would go to the Steerman Fly in and a P-40 or a 51 would stop short of runway and do a engine run up to check mags and I would look up at my dad.... the look in his eyes...it was like no look I had seen before... like a time machine. Pop's would tell me when he was crew chief that was his plane.... He would let the pilot borrow it!!! and it better come back in one piece. thanks for the memories and God bless everybody who has served and all the people it takes to keep them flying P.S. loved going to all the reunions for 14th air force as a child met Tex Hill and Don Curtis who designed the P-40
The P51 was the most beautiful and deadly fighter of WW2. As a pilot I'm madly in love with them. I've seen them in EAA conventions over the years, seen Chuck Yeager bounce out of his cockpit at 75. I was once lucky enough to walk by them with a camera, gleaming in the setting Sun.
Awesome flight of P-51’s, it was always my favorite airplane. Then I joined the Army and met the CH-47 Chinook. The 51 had to take second place. Nice to see the A-1 and B-29 flying also.❤
Omg I love this video so much man I watched 100 times a day listening 🎧 at theses beautiful P-51 mustangs n beautiful Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 engine leaving sound behind I love I it I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
vantonymccutcheon NONE of those Mustangs were built with a RR built engine !!! ALL were built with the PACKARD made in AMERICA Merlin version !!!! DUUUUH!!!!!!
Watched Yeager and Anderson fly their prospective mustangs at Oshkosh, both in there 70s. It was amazing. Imagine how the pilots of those two mustangs feel knowing the original “owners” piloted their planes. Watched Bob Hover do his magic the same day. Oshkosh is a special place.
Beautiful sounds! Weird that at many airshows they have music or commentators that really take away from he experience - noise pollution - just let the planes speak!!
3:04 for yall wondering why the landing gears on this mustang is smaller, its because its a P-51H, which was apart of a further development of the P-51D to make it lighter. Referred to as the "lightweight mustang".
Awesome, works of art each one of them . I know alot of hard work and alot of money goes into maintenance and up keep . Well worth it. The sound of all those planes revving up those Merlin engines at once, wish I was there to hear it.
All of the planes were great but the Red Tail seemed a little more special because of what it meant. If anyone hasn't seen the movie then they need to do so.
Estive em Oshkosh no ano de 2018, é o evento de aviação mais fantástico que conheço. I was in Oshkosh in 2018, it is the most fantastic aviation event I know.
Its was.the coolest thing I have ever seen! the ground shook, the c47 overhead in formation ,a spitfire and Mosquito flying in the east made you feel very proud
... Thats right.....many of these we see here are Packard Merlins made in Detroit Mich. Packard dedicated a good chunk of their over one mile long production line to produce their version of the Merlin. Rarely stated is that the Merlin was based on a Curtis designed Engine, the D 12 model...designed in the good old USA. Credit must always be given to The Packard Brothers for their foresight and commitment to the .V- 12 engine concept. Heck , they had a production version in mid 1915..!! Even Enzo Ferrari found out about the V - 12 from Packard Army Staff cars at the end of WW 1 .( US and Italy were Allies in WW 1 ) ..Lots of people forget that. ... Packard .....a truly Great American INovation Company ..!
@@michaelcelani8325 That Packard made a V12 in 1915 is no garantee that they could design and develop a very good aircraft engine in the '40ties. That is why they license build the RR Merlin. 😉
@@PenzancePete Thats right and don't you forget it !!! NO RR Built Merlin was used in a production merlin Mustang !!! They were ALL Made in AMERICA by PACKARD who by the way had been designing and building aircraft engines and PT Boat engines as long as RR Had been building aircraft engines, Hell PACKARD even improved the merlin and built 37,137 for the Brits in WWII and 18,000+ for the USAAF. FYI Just cannot stand the REAL truth can you ?????
Wow, just seeing this. I wish I could have been there! What a beautiful sight. I would have loved to meet Clarence but I got him to sign my copy of his book, "To fly and fight". I've read it 5 times. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it especially if you enjoyed this video! One thing that surprised me though in this video was that I didn't see "Glamorous Glennis" anywhere. That would have great to see Old Crow and Glamorous Glennis together once again.
Who said design and engineering can't be beautiful. Possibly the most beautiful design in any field of engineering. I'll bet those German pilots recognized the beauty and performance of the Mustang and were a little envious. Just to bad they weren't available earlier in the war. Many heavy crews were lost without the protection of long range fighter protection.
hMMMMMMM that yellow nosed one 4475007 has a P51H style tall tail !!!!! so did 413484 !!! Nice bunch of Mustangs !! And its good to see Bud Anderson again !!!!!!! Eat your hearts out Limeys !!!
Aww, Wilbur. 8 months on and still only two likes, one of which was from your own Sorearsetractor account and the other just someone commenting on the P-51H. For anyone who could be bothered to read this peculiar fool's inane comments, Wilbur, AKA Soararsetractor, is an armchair warrior and drunk who spends his time writing racist comments about British people, none of which, by his own admission, he has ever met. The source of his anger seems to revolve around the provenance of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine which, amusingly, he would like everyone to believe was invented by the now defunct Packard Motor Co., and his general inferiority complex and guilt over fact that he a is a draft dodging coward (again by his own admission) who refused to fight for his country during the Vietnam War. Apparently his father and grandfather did the same in previous wars. He actually admitted that! What a chump! Anyway, I thought any right thinking Americans who were puzzled by his comment might be interested to know.
@@ME-wq8lq thats the plain grey/silver smaller P51 with the rudder painted white with a yellow Mustang(horse)painted on it serial # 464551 on the tail...Came in at the end of WW2 was much lighter and faster than the standard "D" model which is the most common variant Top speed of the D model was 437 m.p.h. at altitude and the H model had a top speed of 487 m.p.h. 50 mph faster but it had less firepower and was never used in WW2..I think only 555 were ever made and soon they were obsolete because of the start of jet aircraft production
@@ME-wq8lq I should..Im MustangMike! My buddy owns a P51D and he used to own a fairly rare K model with an Aero products propeller..I've personally flew 400+ m.p.h.in a P51 coming out of a shallow dive at 20 ft.above ground level in a rural area near Findley Ohio in 1990...that was a real RUSH!! I'll never forget that ride...Mike Couches owns the rare H model P51 and it was flown by his son Steve Couches who is an American Airlines pilot...it may be the ONLY one flying now..Don Whittington used to own a rare race version of the H model in Ft. Lauderdale long time ago,but I think he crashed it off Tampa bay in the ocean some years ago....Chuck Yeager said the H model was a very tiring plane to fly and the D model was a much better aircraft R.I.P. Chuck....97 ..died last year..the toughest guy I ever met...he had the "right stuff" alright but a even bigger ego...(like all fighter pilots)
@@mustangmikep51 ya Chuck certainly had that reputation! A great American. Im issued my calling in life. I should been a pilot. My dad, a former Marine took me to see the Thunderbirds when I was 6 and have been hooked ever since. Can't get enough of military aviation. What I'd give to fly in something like that. Thanks for the knowledge 👍
What a beautiful noise to hear. It sounds a lot better than the trucks with the mufflers the size of cooking pots. It would have been awesome to hear 900 51's in the air during missions.
airailimages thanks, but my quick and dirty videos are not as fancy as yours. One of these days I’m going try shooting in 4K. I should have gone to the hot air balloon festival at the Flying Circus today.

Met Harrison Ford, Richard Bach, the owner of Target, the inventor of the Polaris flying boat and many others in my several visits there.
in 2006 there were 98 Mustangs at rickenbacker airport/Columbus Ohio...that will be hard to beat~!
Thanks for the count (19), now when I watch it again, I won't have to bother counting as I didn't do so on my first run through (-:

I have never seen so many P51's. I am surprised and pleased that there are that many still flying! What a gathering!
Wow these planes look amazing and sound amazing 👍🏼🇦🇺👍🏼🇦🇺👍🏼
It's nice to watch so many of these beautiful planes still exiting
This has got to be the best P51 Mustang show on the internet.
The hours spent by the ground crews must be amazing - thank you guys !

9:03 was beautiful. Like a gift to the sky. Without arrogance I attempt to marvel.
Very perfect plane! Thanks for showing me! John P.
What a fantastic video. The take off sequence especially, evokes the thought of 'scramble scramble' during WW2.
Simply, Mustangs. Amazing. Pure History.

What a beautiful noise to hear. It sounds a lot better than the trucks with the mufflers the size of cooking pots. It would have been awesome to hear 900 51's in the air during missions.
@FJoe Biden yes I did. A lot of Mustangs were used as escorts to bombers in WW2
@FJoe Biden you're right. I over exaggerated. That would be 900 bombers in some later missions Joe.

airailimages thanks, but my quick and dirty videos are not as fancy as yours. One of these days I’m going try shooting in 4K. I should have gone to the hot air balloon festival at the Flying Circus today.
Awesome video ❤️
That’s a lot of Mustangs wow 😯
Great video. Love the close ups.
That are a lot of Mustangs!
