Fly the P-51C Mustang! - w/ Flight Voice-Over

Ойын-сауық

Here's a new version of our North American P-51C flight with added Voice-Over by Kermit Weeks, describing everything he is doing in the cockpit. We had some viewers say that they enjoyed our previous P-51 flight clip, but wished they knew what Kermit was pointing out throughout the flight. Take the ride again and hear Kermit describe first hand everything he does in the cockpit, as well as offer some interesting information along the way. If you enjoy this, let us know and we'll do the same type of voice-over for the Grumman Duck and Wildcat flights too.

    14 years ago on my 70th birthday, after breakfast, my wife said ... get ready, I'm taking you for a surprise for your Birthday! OK! she had this wonderful plan to take me to an air show! An hour later we were at the Air Museum in Michigan. We parked (she drove the whole way) she paid the admission and we entered... just then two P-51s came over at low altitude, The P-51 engine has a very wonderful sound, If I were the enemy on the ground I would have been terrified! Thanks Honey, I will never forget that Birthday.

    I have to add here--because you're not the only one- When my son was in 4th grade, we drove from Roswell, NM, to Midland forthe big CAF show. As we got there, waiting in line for entry, a pair of Mustangs took off, and my son announced proudly to the crowd "It's an official air show, dad. There are P-51's flying!" He's now 35 and working for a major aircraft manufacturer...

None as complex as the P-51C, since I had no hydraulic systems, no radiator system (air-cooled), no fuel or oil boost pumps, etc. But I was always a stickler for a check-list and enjoyed your earlier Kermie-cam video going through the pre-flight walk-around and cockpit pre-flight. Always like to learn how it's done in other aircraft types. Thanks for the demonstration and keep them coming.

    Great job, thanks for posting! My uncle flew a P51 in WWII, so it's my favorite! I was working inside an industrial building one morning about 20 years ago near a small air port outside of Cleveland OH. The ground began to shake, but the sound was unmistakable to me. I ran outside to see (and feel) a P51 take off at just a couple of hundred feet over my head. Awesome V12 power! It turns out the confederate air force was warming up for an air show the next day. I am surprised at how quiet yours was, perhaps the sound was turned down for the VO. Maybe next time you could give us a quick blast from the 50 cals. haha
