    My Dad had a memorable encounter with a P-51 during the war.
    My Dad grew up on a farm in the lovely Sugarloaf Valley near Hazleton PA. In 1944 he was 10 years-old and like most boys, obsessed with WWII planes, ships and vehicles. An older neighbor of his joined the Army Air Force after he graduated tiny Rock Glen High School and wound up in flight school. He did well and was training on a P51, close to or after graduation.
    Anyway, he called home and told his folks to tell everyone to be outside, eyes on the skies, the next afternoon. The teachers took the kids outside and waited. Sure enough, while on a training flight, he pealed off from his fighter group and the few hundred kids and neighbors heard the sound of a plane coming in over the Stony Ridge Mountain above his home town of Rock Glen.
    The drone turned into a deafening roar as he came over the mountain, turned and dived down to buzz the school low, my Dad thought at about 1000 ft. The whole school cheered and the kids all jumped up and down for joy!
    The sound of that Rolls-Royce Allison engine was pure power, loud and growling like nothing he ever heard before.
    The pilot then climbed and proceeded to do some barrel rolls and other aerial acrobatics that thrilled his neighbors below. He flew low around the conical Sugarloaf Mountain, then climbed and flew back to join his unit. My Dad said teachers were worried the pilot might get in trouble, but the younger school kids played airplane with their arms out like wings and got so worked up that the principal sent them home an hour early.
    That P-51 and its pilot were the talk of the valley until after the war ended.
    Dad said morale in the town for victory skyrocketed after that pilot’s little stunt. With planes like that, how could we lose!
    Dad never found out exactly what happened to that hot shot pilot, but he survived the war.
    P-51 - Cadillac of the Sky!

      My guess is weight and balance. If the fuselage tank is installed and has fuel, then the back seat has a pretty low weight limit. Almost always the fuselage tank is empty with passengers.
      Other guess is he may not be insured to fly passengers.

However the rear seat is very small, smaller than the front. so being 6'2", he may no fit back there. Another reason would be insurance and one last reason is possible that the pilot was not current on landings and therefore makes him illegible to have a passenger, though that last one is very doubtful.

      That can get expensive. A Merlin slurps a lot of gas, and most FBOs would need an instructor checkout for before renting the most basic plane from them. Minimum of maybe $150 on the lowest end.
      Another consideration is that if he received payment of any sort for his interview. Then, if he took up a passenger in the context of this episode, there’s a violation of FAR61.113. He could be an airline pilot, but without operating under an air carrier certificate, he’d still be violating that pesky “no compensation” law.
      Sorry for getting a little in the weeds with that. If there’s one thing pilots love doing (other than telling people they’re a pilot) it’s sharing flying with someone else. I struggle to believe that the answer to the original question was “because I don’t feel like it”

    Why isn't there a C version of this classic fighter? And what is those two movie cam marks on the fuselage?

      Two movies it was used in.

      The c type was not produced in large numbers. The D type upgrades overtook the C type before it went into production

      @@dragonalpha9894 Great, very kind your answer, thank you! Do you mind if I ask you what movies it was used in? I would like to see those movies.

    Jets are great. But this plane is art.

    Weren’t two of the 6 .50s recessed into the wing to make space for ammo? Didn’t that cause the badass whistling noise? In this example the guns are all aligned. Was this factory in some?

      John Klatt I’ve heard both, so maybe both contributed to the whistle. Either way we agree it’s an amazing aircraft. 👍

    Liked the titbit about the German drop tank, I didn't realise that was the reason for that text.

    I was in a Spitfire once and the cockpits felt quite spacious, but the canopy was very tiny and close to my head, I was afraid to turn it left and right. I’m 5.7 and in shape.

    What is the Tiger emblem? And you didn't do a discussion of the radiator and oil cooler.
