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...
A wish come true!!! Clear voice, no music but twelve pistons and a slipstream. Well done!!
I much prefer this style. Explaining what your doing and motor noise. That is all we need.
Now I know why my Dad loved to fly the P-51D in WWII. Thanks for the ride.
I really enjoyed the voice over Thanks a big bunch for doing it!!
can't belive that airplane is about 70years old, one of the most beautiful machine.
It is always great to fly that beautiful P51C with you Thanks!!
Voice-over adds SO much to the flight! Thanks for the videos...
I loved the original video, your vo has made it even better. Thanks for taking the time to do it Kermit, and I look forward to hearing more.
The Voice Over was a great addition. It helps you to understand what is happening, when it's happening and why. Yes, more of this when it's needed please.
The voice over was a great idea , thank you Kermit. I really appreciate Kermits fight to make his acft as authentic as possible.
Yes! The voice-over was a great addition to this already very watchable video. Thanks!
Kermit has a DJ quality to his voice, which makes it enjoyable to listen to him talk airplanes for hours! I think that Mustang might be my favorite!
Love the P51! Enjoyed hearing everything that you where thinking.

No one takes more effort than you Kermit to inform, educate and entertain your audience about your wonderful machines. The voice-over makes a BIG difference to your videos. Keep on inspiring.
Bravo. Thanks for brightening my Saturday morning. The audio on this one, describing everything you were doing made this flight perfect. Same with the previous video, with the preflight and setting up the engine and cockpit.
Following all the previous comments, there is nothing I can add with respect to the voice over. What an OUTSTANDING video. Thank you.
The VO's are excellent. It's pretty cool to get the pilot POV but the comprehensive play by play info is simply fantastic. From the step by step what you're looking at and why to the cause/effect elements like the flaps coming down or the hydraulics spiking when the gear sets - great content. Thanks for your time putting it out there!
Thank you for such a fantastic talk through. You are so gentle with the aircraft, it's a joy to see you flying.
Thanks Kermit for the voice over it really explains what you were doing in the cockpit of this wonderful aircraft as a retired navy aircraft structural mechanic I love watching all your videos!
KERMIT is KING!! What a GREAT guy!! We love you KERMIT from the UK Near London!
VO makes the things very clear to those who are not familiar with all the P51's procedures. Thanks a lot!
Every time I watch a Mustang video it reminds me of my flight on Crazy Horse with Lee Lauderback back in 1996. In fact we did one of those low level passes over your field ! Flying the Mustang with Lee was the most exhilarating experience of my life. Thanks for posting this, your P-51C is beautiful! Mustangs forever!!!!
What a blessing you are to this country and to aviation in general.
Beautiful lady! My dad loved this aircraft, as he was in ordinance in WWII in European and N. African theatres. He also supplied P-38s.
Thanks for all you do To keep all these beautiful birds flying and taking us along for the tours and rides. The new voice over is great for us older hearing challenged.
Great video Kermit. Really like the voice over, and really appreciate the time you and your crew spend making all videos you put out. What you share is what most people would never get to see. Thanks again!
Way better with the voice over. Thank you Kermit.
The added voice-over makes a good video even better for me. Thanks for bring the joy of flying these historic treasures to we, mud-bound souls who will probably never know what it is like to sit in a Mustang, let alone fly one.
The V-O made a great video even better. Hope to see more! Thank you for your time Kermit!
That was AWESOME, loved parts 1,2, & 3 and I really appreciated the added voice over video. I haven't flown in a long while so it's great seeing you do the pre-flight walk around and go through your run up. What really excites me about the video is you did it in one of my all time favorite airplanes, the P-51 Mustang. Thanks for putting these videos together. Keep them coming.
love watching the first person view of starting, taking off and landing of aircraft, great voice over as well
Loving the voice over. Yes. Please do more. Really adds to the video. Thanks :-)
Twenty year private pilot with my tailwheel endorsement in a Super Decathlon (which is nowhere near as powerful as this), it has been a longtime dream of mine to fly a Mustang! So I really appreciate your videos. Thanks
Thank you, Kermit, for sharing your vast knowledge and beautiful airplanes! Love this POV and voice over!
Thank you for this! Glad you did not use music! That is one of most shiney birds I have ever seen. Beautiful.
Kermit, you just about tripled my enjoyment of that video from all the previous times I’ve seen it. It was always good and now it’s great!! Thank you so much! Even as a pilot, I learned so much more! 👍😎
It’s CRAZY that you can’t see what’s in front of you. This was GREAT, thank you so much for taking the time to do this, very much appreciated.
Thank you Kermit! Please do more voice overs like this one. I really enjoyed that, as you were describing flying the plane you mentioned the airspace you were in, the normal cruise speed of the P-51, and being polite you were staying high while flying over your neighbors houses. Very cool!
I had the pleasure of a ride in CAC Mustang VH-MFT last year, those Merlins are unforgettable. Great video sir and thank you
Superb ! the commentary really adds a lot to the experience. You always make it seem so effortless that we tend to forget just how much work and constant vigilance goes into flying.
Great flight with voiceover. Makes you realize the work by the pilot in combat, amazing.
Absolutely wonderful video and the voice over adds a great layer. I'll take as many as you can publish, thank you Mr Weeks
"The FAA doesn't want you to go above 250Kts below 10,000', as a general rule... of course I would *never* do that..." 🤣 It's great to watch these POV KermieCam videos and see how they compare to how I fly the P-51 in DCS World (an excellent flight simulator, btw). Some day I'll need to get into a real one.

Voiceover is great. Beautiful Mustang.
Always great to fly with Kermie. Awesome voice-over from a master. Thanks.
Thanks for the voice overs Kermit! Hope to see more of these!
What a privilege it was to fly in your Mustang......thanks for the Video! Flying that bird takes lots of attention to detail and being safe, safe...safe........Awesome. The Rolex is way cool too!
Best cockpit video and audio I`ve seen on You Tube to date.
An excellent addition to your earlier video. Really added a lot to the enjoyment. Thanks for taking the time.
Kermit you have the most incredible life in aviation, i can only ever dream of being able to take a flight in a ww2 warbird! thank you for giving me the opportunity to ride along with you in your awsome collection of warbirds on your channel.
Great to have it explained with the voice over, will look forward to more of the same.
You hit a home run buddy....... With this complete over view of cockpit instructions this was great .....
Awesome Kermit. Nice to hear all that goes on while flying these beautiful birds!
What a remarkable video! I really, really, really enjoyed this. Medically grounded after 25 years of aviating (sigh) this rekindled all the right feelings. Thank you!
For me this addresses the only nit I would (could) ever have picked with your previous videos. Amazing stuff!
I could watch this stuff ALL Day !
The voice over was worth it,lots of checks going on. Thanks
Loved the "voice over".....nice to know the whys of everything you do in the cockpit.
Loved the video and loved the voice over - more please Kermie!! As a PA28/TB10 jockey myself it's very interesting to me to see the extra steps you have to take to fly one of these big war birds....Merlin and Mustang, my favourite combo!! Must come back to Fantasy of Flight some day....
Thankyou for this video...absolutely amazing to see all of this that you do and then place it together w/what our hero's did in the European Theater especially at Asch Belgium on that crazy morning of December 31, 1944...I have copies of the actual encounter reports from Lt.Col John Meyer and Petie of the 487th, absolutely chilling and heroic...I hope to check off a flight w/You from my bucket list. May God continue to bless you all and thank you for what you do. Keep em flying.
An excellent new commentary to a clip I've watched many times before.
Definitely like these voiceovers, Kermit! Yes, more please!
Really make the experience to hear your description of everything as its happening - really enjoyed this presentation, thanks so much!
What really impresses me, is the body language displays the same metronomic level of calm professional precision despite what's happening. It's as though the flying just occurs. Amazing skill.
I love the P-51 and this video as well. The P-51 was my dads, Frank Thomas he would have been 88 this year, favorite plane. He was a great pilot and Kermit you remind me a lot of him. Thank you for doing this video.
In the original vid I just sort of watched what you were doing but the voiceover brought me into the moment and really had me flying the plane with you. I loved it. :)
Just great flight with voice over, well done. Thanks a lot for the ride!
Voice over is a cool addition. Def like to see more done like this.
Greetings from Fort Collins. Thanks for this fly along . You are very informative with great attention to all the finer points and details. That you share these airplanes and your know- how, is inspirational. Keep them coming Kermit and thanks again for everything you and your crew do
What a difference six years makes. Loved the explanation. Now I am ready to graduate from my C172 to the P-51C!
The voice over is really helpful, fascinating to see what goes into flying the machine with the description. Thanks for doing it.
As a former private pilot, I was able to fly in about 6 types of aircraft. 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.
Amazing! Those planes are wonderful! Keep flying
This was just fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to do it! I always love watching a Mustang fly, but it was even more interesting seeing and hearing every step of the process. Top notch narration, and it absolutely added a fascinating and educational element to this already enjoyable video.
I enjoyed the voice over. It's nice to hear and see what's going on in the cockpit.
Man I really enjoyed the three videos. I've always said that if I had a plane to play with it would be a P 51. I guess since I'm 74 this is the closest I'll get to owning one in this life. Thanks for the ride.
WOW!!!!! Thank you so much for that Kermy. Absolutely fantastic.
I watched a lot of videos about how to fly in a flysim (IL-2 and DCS) and I learned more from your voice over videos as from most sim tutorials combined, thank you.
Many thanks Kermit. The VO has given the video that extra dimension.
It's the best way to do these. Thank you for the voice over and posting.
As a flight simmer (X-Plane 11.40), the P-51 Mustang from Skunkcraft is my favorite plane. You "Fly along" videos are very helpful when one is trying to 'fly by the numbers'. Thanks for taking your time to do these excellent videos on the Classic Warbird.
Great flight and was nice being able to hear what you saying. Thanks for your videos. Shalom
Dear Kermit, I'm just a... simulator COUGH*COUGH with thousands of hours on both IL-2 Sturmovik and FSX (I still have to make the transition to P3D) and I find both a pleasure and a privilege to witness a real pro and a great pilot at the 'office'. You make everything so easy and natural, and with the voice over you add clarity to your actions making your beautiful videos a treasure's trove of instructional information on your wonderful collection... KUDOS & THANKS! Cheers
The voice over was outstanding. Thank you!
Beautiful P51 -- Really informative VO. Thanks for the fun flight!
Such a beautiful bird. I hope they never stop flying. Thank you for the video.
I've always loved the P-51 Mustang but had no idea how complicated the routine was to get it off the ground, Great video, thanks!
Voice over was wonderful.... With that Merlin engine, I felt movement! 💕
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
This is awesome to think of this plane as an old race horse in the pasture now ,,,, relaxing in her late days ,,,, wow cool video. Thanks and what a beautiful dashboard
Loved this video. Great explanations for what was going on. Lots to know keeping this plane in the sky. I really felt I was up there.
Loved the commentary and looking forward to more!
That was perfect. Amazing. Well done Mister. Thank you so much. One of the best videos I've ever seen.
Thanks Kermy, for your P-51C video's...... Now i can really fly them ........in my dream's ! Thank you a thousend time !!
Very good. Great to hear your voice very clear explaining the details and the sound of the engine as well.
Great idea to add the comment in post-production, it is more understandable and how you did it this time, very informative for less experienced cockpit fans, commenting on every move you made you realize how many things you have to do to fly in security: Thanks!
Just a brief message to say thank you for the various clips and especially for the voice overs. Very clear, informative and interesting. Especially liked the explanations behind the cockpit, takeoff and landing checks! Had the good fortune of visiting a few years back and also practising my "sailing" techniques on the adjacent lake, courtesy of Jack Browns. Look forward to visiting again in the future.
Thanks for doing that video. My favorite plane of all time is the P-51. I like how you have the red tails theme painted on it. Thank you for preserving the old warbirds. Fly safe.
Love the voice over... thanks for sharing!!!
