I was looking for a good video of the P-51. My older brother loved the plane and he passed away yesterday. Your video made me smile, and the missing man could be for him....thank you for posting this. He would have loved it.
You can tell I'm an old man, cuz I remember when you cld buy a P51 for less than $500 bucks in the 40's or a B17 with tanks full for $350 bucks. That what it sounded like the 918th in England 1944. I ended up flying C46's for Carolina Aircraft of Ft Lauderdale around the Caribbean & South America, hauling freight and anything else we cld get through the cargo doors
American Those merlins are the PACKARD, Made in the USA version !!!!! NO RR built merlins used in any production Mustang. Brits did not have enough production to share any, why PACKARD was contracted to build the merlin FOR THE BRITS !!!! 37137 of them plus 18,000 for the USA !!!!

I was 18yrs young when I first saw a P51D, up close and personal, at a small airport in northern California.. 1982 it was.. when the pilot finished his aerobatic presentation, he announced ovr the radio that he would do one high speed pass on his departure from the show.. as he approached from the south, he said his airspeed was 350mph, at 100 feet.. we stood near the taxiway as he went by.. (yes, back then, it was allowed).. so fast, so low.. my feet tingled and you felt the air.. it was alive, with electric like vibrations as he passed.. so intense it made my eyes water.. with pride, and a deep sensation of the power on display at that moment. He pulled straight up out of the low pass, to an announced altitude of 6500 ft, agl.. (airport altitude is 2800ft) rolled ovr, headed south, and was gone. I will never forget that. The noise, power, and precision, was an incredible thing to witness. Montague, California. Siskiyou county. The TRUE north state.
Always, always loved the Mustang! I was at a Scale Modeler event ~20 years ago at Whisky Hill airport near Hubbard, OR and a friend of the field came by at intermission and did three or four passed with his P-51. Prop not 5' off the runway doing 300+ and my feet were on the runway and he went by 30' away each time! Its maybe the most beautiful/emotional thing I've experienced in my life! If anyone has video of that event please get in touch.
In November of 1982 Bob Love flew me in his P-51D from Livermore Airport to Stockton where we watched the Esso Tiger B-25 make its maiden flight around the airport and land with one engine shut down trailing oil. When we took off from Stockton later, Bob aimed at the checkered water tower then pulled up and around it at the last minute . I could not get my had around how fast the water tower got so small over my shoulder. There was a crowd of Warbirds that day at Air Nostalgia and he went there to organize a filming of Warbirds over the Golden Gate Bridge. I flew twice in a Mustang that day!
Montague...used to be home to Dangerous Dave and his driveway lined with 8 inch artillery shells. I went there to see his cannon collection and buy inert artillery shells from him. He had a warehouse and shop in town, too.
The sound of the Unlimited Class final at Reno coming down for the start ranks right up there. And a B-1B doing touch and goes is something you never forget.

The B, and C models are the same airframe, but built in two different North American plants: The B models were built at North American's Inglewood California plant, while the C models were built at North American's Dallas Texas plant. The reason for the two different letters, was to differentiate between the two plants. This also was applied to the D model, later in its production life, because the Dallas plant produced a version of the D model with an Aeroproducts hollow steel prop, and a slightly reshaped canopy, and it recieved the designation of P-51K. Today, that model, and its recon derivative, the F-6K/RF-51K, are as rare as the P/F-51H, is.

Can't help but think of the guys who flew the Mustangs that these ones represent. I've always wondered what it looked and sounded like in England when a squadron took off, and in color no less! Guess I know now, thanks to all, it brings a tear to my eyes.
The P-51 with BuNo 464551 is the last variant of the Mustang produced, which is an "H". The engine was uprated and so intercooler is deeper and allowed for the additional cooling needed, the tail is taller, giving better rudder authority, and main gear doors were smaller and therefore lighter. This was how it differed from the other variants of the D models, and I believe this is the only surviving airworthy example in existence.
angelisreal The P51H was an almost entirely different plane as the fuselage front and rear were lengthened, the wing was different, thinner, the whole plane was lighter, tail was taller
I'm glad somebody noticed this besides me! Of course now it's over a year later. How many people at the airshow did he infect with Covid and are now dead :( I mean, he's coughing through the WHOLE SHOW! There's the noise of the P51s and the noise of the C-19. Jeez...
It is stunning and beautiful to know that after so many years after WW2, that we actually still have enough air worthy and operating P51s to form multiple Squadrons, then you look at the number of German and Japanese fighters, and there are very few left.
@Why Me Too right. The Germans made fantastic Weapons during the War. Tanks, Ships Planes. They were all good Engineering. It took the Allies a bit longer to get going.
@Why Me America would not have 'a space programme' (yes but highly limited). 'Nuclear bombe'. Apart from a few German Jews that escaped Germany and the people within it, it was mainly the USA and UK together. 'New medicines', (some but also did so many others). 'Jet engines'. (All US jet technology was taken directly from the people that invented the jet engine, the British). 'Jet planes' (some, but also their own and also taken again from the British). 'Diesel fueled tanks' (?) 120 mill cannons, (perhaps). 'Tanks', (the British invented the Tank.) 'Sighting systems'. (The first holographic gun sight was indeed German during WWI, but the for gyroscopic productive gun sight was British in WWII.) 'Understand how the atmosphere affects the human mind', (clearly from German research, you're at extremely high altitude!) So from my parents, YOU ARE WELCOME!
@Why Me Werner Von Braun never would have gotten a rocket off the ground before the end of the war if he didn't have Dr Robert Goddard's research from the 1920's as a head start. Goddard was the pioneer of liquid fueled rockets and gimbaled engines, both of which are required for spaceflight. When German rocket scientists were being interrogated by US intelligence officers after the war about their research one of them blurted out "Why are you asking us these questions? Surely your own Dr Goddard already knows the answer to them." And how exactly do you figure that without Germany the US never would have developed the bomb? The fact is many physicists have looked at the Germans "heavy water" experiments over the years and determined that they'd never have developed a working bomb because they were barking up the wrong tree. And don't even try that crap about German scientists, THOUSANDS of people were involved in The Manhattan Project which was led by Robert Oppenheimer, who was born in NYC, and even had it's roots before the US's entry into the war when in October of 41 FDR task Oppenheimer with development of the bomb, it just wasn't called The Manhattan Project until after the war began. And if you want to go that route then that's like saying that nobody even would have had aircraft during the war if they hadn't been invented in America in 1903 by the Wright brothers.
One of those Mustangs , Sweet Revenge , the one that is polished aluminum and red, has a tinted canopy. Looks very cool. It’s at 8:35, along with some obnoxious guy coughing up a lung.
These Merllins had super high quality aluminum castings for the block, cylinder banks and two piece heads, all the way back in the 1930s. And Rolls Royce de tuned it from over 3000 horse power down to 1450 so it would have some longevity to it. ( I read that and saw the excellent b+w photos in a great book that I can't remember the name of ) Twenty five years ago the rebuilding shop at the Hollister Airport in Ca. was getting $50,000.00 for an overhaul on one of these engines. I don't know about today, but back then one man and his wife ran that whole operation.
RR NEVER detuned the Merlin ...the ongoing battle throughout its history was to find more power !!! The hydro boys were pulling 3,000 HP but the life was short !!!
My favorite plane of all-time. Definitely old school cool. The pilots flying this iconic plane were responsible for the destruction of nearly 5000 German aircraft in WWII.
Yeager stated he preferred the D model to the H but from that take-off climb-out, the "lightweight" H model really could out climb the earlier heavier models.
@@mustangspitfire6835 the 47 ss nazis who dis liked this video flew 109's and jealous cause 51's have more room in the cockpit and didn't have a stupid side door to open when they bailed out.
Mustang has always been my favorite plane and the airframe is still talked about today the design was ahead of its time the. Thick part of wings was moved back to center of wings to j have better air flow less drag
Or a Hurricane, a Spitfire, a Mosquito, a Lancaster, an Avro York, a Lancastrian and my personal favourite a Canadair North Star. Merlin music to the ears!
@@AreeyaKKC WRONG !!!! Maytag had Aluminum casting facilities and cast PARTS for PACKARD, they NEVER made a single engine !!! Where the Hell do you get these screwy ideas ???? Ever do any research ????
2259alfie ALLwere PACKARD, built in AMERICA versions !!!! DUUUUHHH !!!!!!! Surprised you did not know that !!!! At the time USAAF planes had to have American made engines !!!!
These beautiful planes once carried extra fuel, live ammunition and brave young men into deadly duels and hails of hostile ground fire. They are not just good to look at.
Years ago I read that the original design had The scoop underneath against the fuselage.During testing someone suggested lowering it ,to where I is today.The top speed increased by 30 M PH.That was the only time I ever read that story.I have never found verification of what I read was true.
blackkeyboard WRONG !!!! Not one production Merlin Mustang used a RR Built Merlin !!! ALL were Packard Built in AMERICA> Packard was contracted in 1940 before the Mustang to build Merlins FOR THE BITS !!! The Brits could NOT build them fast enough there were NO extra merlins available besides all Merlin THEN were Merlin 20's a SINGLE STAGE supercharger, the 60 series 2 stage supercharger showed up late 1942/ early 1943 !!! Packard Ran its first merlin Aug 1941 first merlin Mustang XP51B flew end of Nov 1942 !!! Time line boy !!!
"Brand new Mustangs? " - Yes, sir! P- B, 110 gallons with drop tanks. You can ride these ponies 800 miles and back. Six fifty calibers on her wings, and hauling two one thousand pounders.

@ James Bottger:
Did you ever hear a Bf 109's DB 605 engine? It has a deeper growl than the Merlin because of its approx. 10 litres more displacement.

(The first holographic gun sight was indeed German during WWI, but the for gyroscopic productive gun sight was British in WWII.) 'Understand how the atmosphere affects the human mind', (clearly from German research, you're at extremely high altitude!) So from my parents, YOU ARE WELCOME!

Allison/Packard/Rolls engines..."Purr like a Kitten...ROAR like a LION !
Sounds like this was somebody's last air show.
That's funny!
@@mustangspitfire6835sounded like the kid in that Eddie Murphy movie the nutty professor. Holy hell that was bad!
I want one...! Sweet sounds of merlins..amazing
Incredible
These Merllins had super high quality aluminum castings for the block, cylinder banks and two piece heads, all the way back in the 1930s. And Rolls Royce de tuned it from over 3000 horse power down to 1450 so it would have some longevity to it. ( I read that and saw the excellent b+w photos in a great book that I can't remember the name of ) Twenty five years ago the rebuilding shop at the Hollister Airport in Ca. was getting $50,000.00 for an overhaul on one of these engines. I don't know about today, but back then one man and his wife ran that whole operation.
RR NEVER detuned the Merlin ...the ongoing battle throughout its history was to find more power !!! The hydro boys were pulling 3,000 HP but the life was short !!!
My favorite plane of all-time. Definitely old school cool. The pilots flying this iconic plane were responsible for the destruction of nearly 5000 German aircraft in WWII.
Outstanding Display
Awesome beautiful
I want one
Yeager stated he preferred the D model to the H but from that take-off climb-out, the "lightweight" H model really could out climb the earlier heavier models.
357FG well represented. Got to talk with most the aces at reunion
A Beautiful Sound and a Real Game Changer Lovely Engines Fabo xx
Wow! Look at all those Mustangs 😍.......
Love the P51
One of the sexiest fighters ever manufactured. Best scraffer ever.
The 'Stang is one beautiful thoroughbred of a fighter. I just love this plane!
The way that H flexed.
Wow!
A merlin roaring trough the skies in a beatifull aircraft the mustang legend flys for ever

`first covid case
the 25 people who didn't like this video must have been me 109 pilots
Or knew the person coughing?
@@mustangspitfire6835 the 47 ss nazis who dis liked this video flew 109's and jealous cause 51's have more room in the cockpit and didn't have a stupid side door to open when they bailed out.
Mustang has always been my favorite plane and the airframe is still talked about today the design was ahead of its time the. Thick part of wings was moved back to center of wings to j have better air flow less drag
Yes, it's a laminar wing profile.
The last sound many japanese ever heard the roar of those merlin engines.
Germans too 😉
Who what a plane the p 51 Mustang 👍😁
Wow!!!!better equipped airforce than some countrys
I,v always liked the Spitfire & i,v always liked the Mustang ...

TUSKEGEE AIRMEN!!!! 99TH!!!!

Beautiful birds
Thee True Cadillac of the Skies
PACKARD of the skies, remember PACKARD built all the engines for the Merlin Mustangs !! !
Wish I was there
Some people think their Harley’s sound cool. Baaa nothing compares to a Rolls-Merlin in a Mustang!
Robert PACKARD built in America version !!!!! And PACKARD contribution to the Brits of 37,137 Merlin engines for their cause !!!!
Or a Hurricane, a Spitfire, a Mosquito, a Lancaster, an Avro York, a Lancastrian and my personal favourite a Canadair North Star. Merlin music to the ears!
Maytag built the merlin for Packard as well.
swede Those are ALL PCKARD Merlins !!!! DUUUUHHHHH!!!!!!!
@@AreeyaKKC WRONG !!!! Maytag had Aluminum casting facilities and cast PARTS for PACKARD, they NEVER made a single engine !!! Where the Hell do you get these screwy ideas ???? Ever do any research ????
The sound of ... 'Victory'. LOL.
Oh how I wish I could fly.
All those running horses!
In my humble opinion the P-51 is the second most beautiful aircraft ever built.
Woah! There were sound that made by the group of planes!
Amazing sound of the Rolls Royce engine absolutely Bad Azz
2259alfie ALLwere PACKARD, built in AMERICA versions !!!! DUUUUHHH !!!!!!! Surprised you did not know that !!!! At the time USAAF planes had to have American made engines !!!!
These beautiful planes once carried extra fuel, live ammunition and brave young men into deadly duels and hails of hostile ground fire. They are not just good to look at.
So True Tom
Just goes to show ya that they can still do their job
1:35 pretty much says it all !
Where is the sound of their 6 50cals!!
well, thats a lot of mustangs
One of the engines seems to 'cough', spark plug problem?😜
those planes are flying gunnless
Thats purdy!!!!
Are any of the bubble tops actually single-seaters?
Some, are, and some are two-seaters.
TheDeJureTour Most are single seaters a few were converted to a second seat !!!
I saw a red tail but what squadron are identified there??
The Red Tail represents the 302nd Fighter Squadron, of the 332nd Fighter Group "The Red Tails."
Where's the "camycam "
Years ago I read that the original design had The scoop underneath against the fuselage.During testing someone suggested lowering it ,to where I is today.The top speed increased by 30 M PH.That was the only time I ever read that story.I have never found verification of what I read was true.
That air scoop and the whole plane were wind tunnel tested long before production !!! !
Now imagine this but x10 and its flying over Berlin
Perfect VDO .Can you told me what is your camcorder?
Sony AX-53
Will Paul I fly again or is it going to remain a ground-running aircraft?
Great question; last we remember hearing it will not be flown but it's always possible they change their minds!
that could out manoeuvre the me 262 German fighter jet World War Two era
Those PACKARD MERLINS do sing their song !!! FREEEEEEEEEEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats what two full squadrons of p51
Rest in peace random airshow cougher ????-2019
I love that all of these were RR and not Packard
blackkeyboard WRONG !!!! Not one production Merlin Mustang used a RR Built Merlin !!! ALL were Packard Built in AMERICA> Packard was contracted in 1940 before the Mustang to build Merlins FOR THE BITS !!! The Brits could NOT build them fast enough there were NO extra merlins available besides all Merlin THEN were Merlin 20's a SINGLE STAGE supercharger, the 60 series 2 stage supercharger showed up late 1942/ early 1943 !!! Packard Ran its first merlin Aug 1941 first merlin Mustang XP51B flew end of Nov 1942 !!! Time line boy !!!
was there an H model in there?
Yep! 5:14 It's a shame he was up sooooo early
@@AirshowStuffVideos Not familiar with that model, I was wondering about that one. It looks a different up front and the gear door looked narrower?
I remember when the red baron crashed at reno..sad
