- We've heard your requests for more Kermie Cam's, and we've listened. Here's one Kermie Cam we think you'll really enjoy. The North American P-51D model Mustang. Part 1 has you doing a pre-flight tour with Kermit while he checks out the plane. Part 2 you'll go in the cockpit and get a first hand glimpse of what it is like to sit at the controls and prepare to fly. In part 3 you'll take off and fly... and there's a couple of surprises along the way. Hope you enjoy.

As he climbs into the clouds I just Imagine a flight of b-17's waiting for the "little friends" to arrive - very cool
You made me load war thunder. Must attack b17s with my p15d and tracers now !
When he climbed into the clouds I just imagined him getting stripped off his licence. There are minimum distances you have to keep between you and the clouds when you're flying under VFR. Ignoring such important safety rules is pretty bad piloting...
@@martins.28 What rule did he break there genious?
@@martins.28 YT-know-it-alls
Not your subjective opinion btw
Wake up in the morning, a big yawn, hmmm what will I do today? I guess ill take my P51 out for a spin..... Man, that's gotta be rough.😉
Lol...right?
@Michael Turcott Oil baby, Black gold Texas tea!!!!
@@scotabot7826 But ya still gotta watch out for Ellie Mae lol
He flew it over a prison....That's gotta suck seeing freedom so close.
@@tsungadog7081 Too bad they couldn't hear you with the engine going, i'd yell out the canopy. THIS IS GREAT, I'M HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE!
There are not many of us enthusiasts that ever will get the opportunity to fly a genuine ww2 war bird (or other cool vintage aeroplanes either for that matter). Thank you for letting us fly with you. Best regards from Sweden....
Hes the most lucky person alive i tink.

Always an awesome day to be able to ride along with Kermit!!!
Thank you for restoring and flying these incredible pieces of Aviation History. And letting us ride along with you!!!
Gracias, muchas gracias. Fue hermoso. Te vi desde Mendoza, Argentina.
Nothing is cooler than a p51,except for a f14
the sound of the backfires when he cuts the throttle for landing is amazing
The sound of that Packard Merlin is so cool when idling
way cool. I love how Ketmit walks you through everything. Those of us that would like to fly a Mustang some day appreciate the details. Thx for an awesome share
This is awesome.. a huge piece of history still alive 70 years later. Makes my heart feel good
What a cool bumper sticker for 25 year-old - "My other car is a Mustang P51-D" . I really enjoy watching you with your aircraft!
Ok! my great thanks to this wonderfull flight in one of the most iconic planes of all times.
Also the very walkaround gave me the something to remember. Thanks to the Kermit cam.
Thanks Kermit for the ride, even though I volunteered at POF Chino for 23 yrs, never got ride in P-51D, but got rides in B-25.
Thanks for a good show. I learned a lot. I have never flown. My father flew in WW2 over Belgium in a P-47 Thunderbolt. He wouldn't talk much about his service, so I never knew anything about his experiences flying a war machine and all that is involved; so much to remember. Wow! I am so very proud of my Dad; his name and title are:
2 Lt. Jack M. Collins
510th Fighter Squadron
Thank you for this video
A hell of a way to check your blackberry garden!
Awesome videos man, P-51D is such a beautiful plane!
I really admire how you handled the gear situation. You immediately noticed there was a problem, attempted to lower the gear again, made a quick diagnosis based on knowledge and experience, and then developed and executed a plan of action. I wish my wheel landings looked half that good. Very well done!
Walter Morrison should have swapped the bulbs to make sure
Thanks to you and all who keep these birds flying.
My Dad flew P-47s in ETO. When I was a kid, I'd study his flight manuals.
I think secretly, he would have liked a ride or two in later life, but he always said he had flown one too many 'business trips' to be comfortable with it.
None the less, we all appreciated the fact that these birds still fly.
Thanks for your videos and the effort and $$$ it takes to keep these birds aloft.
These birds are part of 'The Greatest Generation'. A chapter in history no one should ever forget.
Giving us viewers the insight from the pilots view is something most of us would never be able to see..... thank you for doing these Kermie cams, you have given us viewers quite a thrill that is unachievable to most.
Cadilac of the skies ! Beautiful !
Kermit, I will wash and polish that beautiful P-51 anytime and maybe get a ride ? Ahhh man what a beauty.
Excellent it's good to see a Mustang with an original looking cockpit.
This was an absolutely amazing video. It shows what our boys had to fly during WWII.
The bird must have a very definite feel for when the gear locks..
Plus the safe / unsafe gear indicator is good for a little confidence..
Good for the boys to look up and see a little Freedom going by isn't it..
Thank you, thank you very much..
I'm just an old sluf jockey, lying in bed watching the clock tick.. but I was up there with you, thank you
My all-time favorite aircraft and thanks to Kermie's Cam, I got to fly in one !!! .... Start to finish, just fantastic ! TYVM !!!
Playing with a pony in the clouds, awesome. Keep these videos coming, they are a pure joy.
Watching this gives me enormous respect for those who fought using the P-51's, both the pilots and maintenance crews. For the pilots there had to be a huge amount of training on just operating the plane before they could advance to being able to learn to fighting with it, a whole other skill set. From the cockpit's view it brings more reality to just how harrowing (or invigorating) it could be to fly over the Pacific and then engage the mission. My grandfather was an aviation hydraulics mechanic in the Pacific theatre during WWII. He would not talk about his experiences. It must have been hell doing all that island hoping on the way to Japan.
I could listen to that engine idling all day
I've admired the aircraft of WW2 since I was a little boy. I guess I've built more models than I can count but at 59 I've never seen a P51D in person. My Uncle flew combat over Europe in a P47 with 2 and 1/2 aerial kills to his credit. The men who flew those planes have always been my hero's. I was born a generation too late.
Wow very cool, it must be Amazing to fly those old Warbirds in real life. Respect. Love this Warbirds. It s an Iconic Plane the Mustang P51D..very nice...love so many Airplanes, and the Mustang is one of them. Thank you for this Vid👌👍
Awesome! Using the radio mic to record your voice during flight is a huge step up for videos that are already great.
great fun, i'm shaking just watching from take off to flight.
I was treated to a flight in a Mustang as a college graduation gift in 1978. Still have the pictures. You can really feel the pull of the prop. So blessed. Years later, also got a ride in a B-52 stationary flight simulator at Barksdale.
I am going to learn how to fly....because of this video!!!!
Go for it!
I lived through your experience and I watch all three videos.. much fun.. tango mike
He must have thought when he passed over that boat in the small lake, 'and you think you're having fun!'
My heart was in my mouth when he took off on that narrow runway between the bushes and trees.
Thanks for patiently filming P-51 stuff. A lot of people crave for the inside workings of a P-51 and now there is one. Thanks for the priviledge and experience of going thru all that. Yes!!!
That is loud. I can't imagine flying for hours on that without a headset.
THANKS for the ride along....my MOST FAVORITE AIRPLANE EVER!!! BEAUTIFUL BIRD!!!
Peace N Smiles!!
Mike
Very cool Sir!! Thank you for sharing your toys with us all
Wow... !!! My best friend, thanks to you, I enjoyed watching... I'm proud of you for developing day by day.
Always entertaining Kermit. We all live vicariously through you. Thanks for showing us the ins and outs of all the aircraft that inhabit our dreams.
One of my favorite planes of all time! I've flown a quality P-51D flight sim and that made this series of videos that much more enjoyable for me because the Devs did such a good job on the sim that the sounds were familiar as were the procedures and it was awesome seeing an actual experienced pilot doing the things that you do in the sim, but in a way that is practical and just can't be simulated, no matter the quality.
This will be as close as I will ever get to flying in a P51! Thank you Sir for sharing your passion. Absolutely amazing!!
It’s beating heart....a British designed Rolls Royce engine built under license. Best Anglo-American collaboration ever.
Im sure you understand how priceless your cams are to those of us who cant fly, and cant access those amazing machines..... heartfelt thanks.
Thank you! Fantasy of Flight is an awesome place!
Love that Mustang.
Man hearing that sweet whistle from the guns as he comes in for his landing, nothing get's better than that.
Can't get enough of Kermie Cam! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for the inside view. One of my favorite warbirds.
As close as I'll get to being inside of a P 51 cockpit. As usual, excellent video Kermit
😎👍
You could play DCS world, there is a non combat version of the P-51d that is free!
In 1957 our Unit the 167th FG from WVa ANG retired our Mustangs and was the very last USAF Unit to fly the P-51 Mustang. The Mustang at the AF Museum actually came from our Unit. The 167th and our Mustangs were activated during the Korean War in 1950. As a kid in the early to mid 50's, use to see them in the air all the time over Charleston, WVa. area. Love the sound of the Mustang !!! Several Mustangs still flying today came from our Unit. Great 3 part Video of this BEAUTIFUL P-51 !!! Thank You ! Love it !!!
Around 1955, I remember seeing a P-51(probably by then called an F-51)with an ANG Unit still flying out of Pittsburgh.And then when I moved to Florida in 1956 to finish High School,I remember seeing them being restored by Cavalier Aviation at the Sarasota/Bradenton Airport for private use. It always was a Great Plane.
I watch these p-51 mustangs all the time always been my fav warbird since I was a kid, that sound is amazing. Thanks Mr. Weeks!
Just magnificent Kermit. I admire your willingness to keep these beautiful aircraft in the air. These videos are priceless.
oh maaaan those rolls had me dying of exitement, great pilot god bless you sir🌹🤘🏻
Thank you so much for allowing frustrated pilots to fly with you😃
I was driving on I-4 in Florida a couple years ago when a P-51D took off from Fantasy of Flight and buzzed right over the highway. Truly mesmerizing, until I had to pay attention to stay on the road.
Wow!!! Many thanks from all us vintage aircraft lovers. Thanks for the ride. Much appreciated!!!
Again a wonderfull series of video's, thx Kermit, really really enjoyed watching them with you explaining this amazing plane!
That's airmanship.. great video!
Amazing, just amazing. Thank you for sharing this, without you doing this I would never have an insight into all the aircraft you have shown and how to start and fly them. This is as close as I would ever get to flying the aircraft so thank you kindly for posting these videos. I look forward to your future videos. Blown away!
simply beautiful, thanks fot the ride
I was planning on building a 1/32 scale model of a P-51D and showing it weathered and used, but after watching this series, I've changed my mind. I'm going to try my best to recreate this beautiful craft as you have it. Thank you so much for going over each detail of this P-51D, I will use the videos as reference if I may. What an incredible 3 part series. Thank you for sharing, showing, doing!!!!
Nice trip. Thanks for sharing (watched all 3 parts).
1- 3 That was a sweet trip! Thanks ..
Incredible. Always a memorable moment seeing a P51 in the air
Breathtaking, even after watching it 20 times! Big thanks Kermit, appreciate you enduring the pain of the Go Pro head mount. By far the prettiest P-51D in existence.
Bravo! You are a pilot among pilots. Smart flying all the way. Now I know why everyone wants one Thanks for the ride!
Thanks for letting all of us see what it would look like to sit in the pilots seat! The closest most will ever get. Thanks again!
Excellent video. My dad was stationed in Burma during the war. P51s still rang in his ears well after the war.
The audio is very nice, thank you. Just amazing.
That is such a man's plane ...such a raw flying machine. The pilots back in the day must've had such brutal instincts - imagine if the pilots who received this aircraft as new technology had the confidence of ejection seats and iPad GPS! Obviously I don't know much about airplanes, but I can tell this one is something special. Like an old car, she's got a personality.
I just watched all 3 of these. Thanks for sharing. It's a little different than my Luscombe
Kermit weeks has got to be one of the coolest guys on the internet!! I got tons of respect for you man!! I can't help but hold my breath every time you get airborne, then I breathe again on touch down!! Keep up the good work !!
Really appreciate the flight, Kermit, along with your excellent narration. It gave me a sense of what was going on when my father, Major Richard "Pete" Peterson of the 357th FG, gave me a ride in Charles Osborn's replica P-51D "Hurry Home Honey" over Oshkosh. We flew with a half dozen other P-51's, chased each other around the skies, and rolled just like that. It was a memorable gathering of the top aces of that fighter group including Kit Carson, Bud Anderson, Tommy Hayes, and Chuck Yeager. I was amazed by how stiff the wings were and how smoothly the plane flew through the air. There was no buffeting at all. Pete and I got a big kick when Ed Shipley, flying another P-51 on our tail, banged the "talk" button on his mic, and it made a machine gun sound...he laughed about now being able to say he downed a triple ace!
Fascinating videos, really absorbing, my wife kept asking me "what's that noise?" But I was too hooked to answer her... brilliant.
Thanks for the ride on "The Kermie Cam" great vid! Thanks!!
Awesome thanks for taking me for a ride.
I don't normally comment, yet I smiled through that entire series. Thank you. I have a 1/32 51D on my plastic model build list. What I just saw will be of immense help.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for posting another Kermie Cam!!!!
OMG the landing speed looked massive ;-) superd video thanks for posting Kermit
Fantastic!! Thank You for taking the time to demo this! Wonderful.
Jim
Just came on my TH-cam feed. Love the series. Getting a ride on and flying P-51 is in my life bucket list. Hope I can eventual do one or both.
Best videos ever. This was a thrill to watch. Thank you for producing these!
I just started playing IL2 Great Battles, and its as realistic as it gets. I am learning to fly the P 51 D, Developers say if you can fly this aircraft in this flight sim you can fly a real P51. Learning to keep my eyes on manifold pressures, and carb and water radiators etc etc. So I can really appreciate these videos. Anyone that wants to learn to fly the P 51 or P38 look up this flight Sim.
My favourite video's! Thank you so much for taking us with you on a flight! BRILLIANT stuff!
This is simply amazing. Thank you for bringing us with you in flight. Cheers from Italy!
Wow, she sure is a beauty! Listen to that V12! A treat for the ears! Such an amazing machine! Thank you so much for flying this baby! That looks so fun! Awesome!
You, sir, have won at life. I tip my hat to you in the sincerest possible way.
Hi Kermie, so greatful, so very nice. Best regards from germany🤘🏻You do it very well.
Thanks for enduring the pain of the gopro on your forehead Kermit, much appreciated.
That was awesome. From the walk around to the flight. Thanks for the videos!
Your a VERY luckily man Mr. Weeks. I'd like to say Thank you for your part in preserving Warbirds. Because of men like your we have been able to see these iconic aircraft grace the skies still today. Any chance you could talk MAAM out of that P-61 they can't seem to finish.
Kermit I admire you and be very jealous . You are a real aeroplane hero!
Life is good when you buzz the field in your p-51!!
You're living my dream.....but at least I got to backseat in a Mustang. I was a race photographer at the Reno Air races for an Unlimited team/51 in the mid-70's, Lefty Gardner. I got to go around the pylon course, TRYING to pull a camera off my chest w/ the G-loads. MEMORABLE
I watched all three. Fascinating! Thanks for sharing, really truly. That was great!
Glad it was only the gear light! Those overflights with the Pilots Eye View brought back memories of flying over your field in Crazy Horse with Lee Lauderback! Thanks for bringing us all along for the ride!!!
Good to hear you over the noise of the engine ect, great can really follow what your doing now. Thanks Kermit regards John
Awsome!! Its about time somebody did a pilots eye view flying a Stang!!
Fantastic videos, thank you for sharing! Over & out!!! hahahaha!!!YOU ARE A STAR!!
