    During WWII Mustang Pilots from our hometown would give us a fly by when in the area. That was the highlight of being a young boy in the 1940's. Always wanted to ride on the Horizontal Stabilizer of a P51, and you-all just fulfilled that wish. Thanks - Loved the ride and view. :-)

      SuperDave, If your dad was there earlier in the war like that he was flying some pretty awesome aircraft before the P-51 came out. Maybe the P-38 or the P-47? P-40 Warhawk? Do tell!

    • @SuperDave21
      @SuperDave21 6 лет назад +11

      He flew Mustangs, P-38 Lightnings, B-25's. He was a member of Riddle's Raiders, along with (at the time) Major Robin Olds, one of the more decorated war Ace's from that era... he later attained Brigadier General. My Father was a Lt. Colonel. Their group was the 479th Fighter Group, 434th Fighter Squadron.

    The P 51 Mustang is one of my all time favorite airplanes also ! Everytime I see one, and I mean everytime, I always think of how we kicked Germany's ass toward the end of the war with the Mustangs. The terrific, brave job that the Tuskegee Airmen did for the war effort. Brings proud tears to my eyes. P 51 Mustang........CADILLAC OF THE SKY !

    This was GREAT!!! Seeing these warbirds fly like they were designed really strikes something way down deep. I get goosebumps just hearing that engine spool up, and tears thinking of all the Warriors from The Greatest Generation that never made it home, and those that did but have since passed on. Makes me so proud to see these birds still in the air nearly 78 years after their first flight!! THANKS FOR THIS ONE, STEVEO, and a big THANK YOU to Scooter as well!!! GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS, PAST & PRESENT! 👍👍

  • @angelisreal
    @angelisreal 6 лет назад

    Amazingly, most people aren't aware that the P-51 Mustang is actually a British design originally designated the A-1 Apache, mated to an Allison engine, assigned to ground attack. The Allison was great at lower altitude performance, but lacked full potential at higher altitude because of poor supercharger performance. Once it was redesigned and mated to the Rolls-Royce and Packard engine, it became a formidable opponent and a proven one at that. It was also the Tuskeegee squadron that were the first to shoot an ME-262 down, not strafing while they were on taxi or take off (which is where the 262 was most vulnerable) making it a genuine air to air kill. That is what has reinforced it as a favorite of mine. Steve, this is an amazing video, and thank you for sharing it. Amazing work done by Scooter, I would love to see Quicksilver at Thunder Over Louisville in the near future!

    This brought back some old memories....In the late 70's I was hired to be the team photographer for the Lefty Gardner 51 team, Gold Class. We were out there for almost two weeks @ Reno....and I got to have a ride along, over the course. Of coure, trying to get two Nikon F2A's off my chest, or to my eye in heavy G's...was near impossible. It was a highlight of my aviation life.

    Thanks Steveo, this means alot. I wish I was alive back then to see the hundreds of planes in the air all at once, it is one of my dreams. But I am also glad that I wasn't alive because it was so hellish and deadly in WWII all over Europe. My Great Grandpa flew B-24s out of Italy with the 485th. I love him and I am glad he is alive. Those flyboys are my heros. I am now crying. I am going to inherit his flight wings, WWII scrapbook, uniforms, I am so blessed.

I fueled the “Miss Coronado” many times, at the FBO where I worked, building flight time. I offered to pay the fuel, for a ride one day. That is, until I found out the consumption rate, ha! Big thanks Steveo and Scooter! what an experience ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    You and I are both pilots, but there is a huge difference in our experience level; you are far more proficient and experienced than I am. However, this is something we do have in common. I've been fortunate enough to get rides in three different P-51 Mustangs, back in the late '80s: Bill Hane's HO! Hun; Bill Destefani's Mangia Pane (his stock race plane before he got Strega); and Elmer Ward's Man O'War. This brought back a lot of wonderful memories of flying in formation during photo sorties and doing mock race passes at the Madera Gathering of Warbirds. Good times...

    Scooter clearly loves to fly the ‘stang! That was a blast hearing the commentary. My uncle flew a P47 over Germany and spent some unwelcome time in Stalag Luft 1 until the war was over. He loved formation flying and would have thought this flight rocked!

    U.S./British engineering perfection; what a beautiful machine the P51 is! It makes even our Spitfire look a bit rough around the edges lol. Great content!

    • @GaryMCurran
      @GaryMCurran 6 лет назад +4

      Luke H Oh, I don't know about that. The Spit is a lovely bird, and without her, we might not have had the Merlin. But, different airplanes for different jobs. Personally, I wouldn't mind one of each. :)

      The P-51 was spec´ed to british specs though, ironically. It was the brits who ordered it.

    • @GaryMCurran
      @GaryMCurran 6 лет назад +5

      RickyboyH Actually that's not true. The Brits wanted P-40 Warhawks, but North American offered to build them the P-51 instead, although the original was equipped with the same Allison engine as the Warhawk. It wasn't until they mated the body with the Merlin engine that the legendary fighter we know today was born.

      Gary C ya the Allison engined P51's were known for being underpowered and rather crap

    Anyone else expecting him to say “Alright we’re off to Germany, let’s get some kills this time”. My grandpa used to me all about how he would fly these in formation. A shame I can’t remember most of what he said. That’s the one thing I’d remember him telling me.

    Seeing Gunfighter brings back sweet childhood memories! It was in San Antonio a few years parked next to one of dad's C-172s when he was developing the Texas Taildragger mods for C152s & 172s. Whenever we'd go flying I almost looked forward to crawling around & in Gunfighter more than flying with dad. Spectacular video!
