North American P-51C Mustang - Part 1 - Kermie Cam 

Thanks for sharing. And thanks to your dad for his service.

Was it this exact plane im wondering cause it has a womans name on it

@@relix5910 This is a C not a D

@@josh05683 maybe his dad flew a "D"

Your father had guts because bailing out over Japan was bad news most didn't return lot of pilots were killed by towns people unlike the Germans who put them in POW camps. Not lot of good documentaries on WW2 fighter pilots over Japan.

Not a legend

It a Legand

Why would you be mad in the first place?

Not anymore lol

😂😂

Not yet

@NowhereMan_ YT Do you really think there is a bomb in it. there has not been a bomb in that bay since WW2

God bless your Grandfather, and all his service in the Army Air Corp.

P-51D 436 mph, P-47D Thunderbolt 428 mph, P-47M 473 mph, P-47N (served in Pacific and with Mustangs escorted B-29's on bombing missions to Japan) 467 mph, F4U-4 Corsair 448 mph. All served in WWII. P-51H 487 mph (post war). In August 1944 a test bed P-47 "razorback" with the upgraded engine destined for the P-47M and an upgraded GE turbo supercharger recorded a top of 504 MPH. The plane was nicknamed the "Superbolt" and had a cartoon drawing of Superman on the cowling. This was fastest speed for a piston powered airplane until several decades later it was broken by an F8F Bearcat heavily modified for racing.

Christopher - Today's P-51's fly way faster than 437mph. The modified race plane "Voodoo" which races at the Reno Air Races flew at 550+ mph while trying to set a speed record. I don't recall if they set the record or not. I knew a pilot WWII and Korean war vet who flew the P-51 in combat. He said if he had the choice of any plane at the time, he said he'd take the P-47 Thunderbolt. He said it was almost as fast as the 51, and could take A LOT more punishment. That it could take a lot of damage and still get you home.

There is a modified Bearcat that won at Reno for many years. "Rare Bear" For a few years it dominated the Reno Air Races. The plane is a beast. It's got a massive radial engine in it and 4 huge oversized propellers taken off a C-130 Cargo plane. Here's a video of it taking off. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6CQLpByAbns.html

@@ibXCVs-Mom cool.. tx

Slob look disengaged...

And a Rolex...

Is your name derived from the GI joe spoof shorts?

lol New Balance- the new shoe now sponsored by the US AF---- New balance, whether you are in the ground riding the streets of LA in your corvette... or flying that P51 Mustang into combat.. New Balance has your back, Jack

Serial killer

@ fvck u bitch

Fai Muse what’s up with your response? What are you 15? Have fun on RU-vid little fella.

Nah. British Hispanos tend to do a better job against that.

@Podge SHEIZE!!!

@Ryan Roberts Uh, that's actually stupid, the Luftwaffe, or the germans weren't even communist, that's just absurd.

he said to oil it for 2 minutes idiot

Ryan's RC are you sure he’s the idiot

Well he owns a vintage aircraft, so that’s kind of a given, buddy.

Rolex's serve certain purposes.. Rolex's are for different things. There are sea-dwellers and oysters (etc...) which are designed for low depth divers. There are sky-dwellers (and others that I won't bother listing) that are for flying (hints the name). Also, these watches aren't as expensive as you think. You can get a Rolex for as low as around $3,000 and some of the newer or older and rarer models go upwards of $10,000+.

Grog lol that’s a good one!! Lol its sure a lot of people who don’t get the joke and insult before doing any thinking.

Lol

Dodge Wrench lmao

I swear i thought this was a car video lml

.

I fly a C560...is that enough...without the sound?

If the Mustang had stopped at this level and never gone to the D, you would have never heard crap about the plane. The C was a good, decent plane; the D was another level altogether

Yes baby, german thecnology

trxxxtr same here love their bird probably the best looking out of any plane

I think I saw Mustangs in the mid-seventies going for a hundred thousand back on trade a plane

In the 'Prop age' I'd agree, but Jet wise, F-4 Phantom, F-104 Starfighter and A-10 Warthog.

I believe is the most succesful war plane in the history of the US Air Force...

Lucky Dogg. Worked on the Best right from the start of your career.

It's a pretty plane!

✌️& ❤️

Absolutely. The pilot who flew this beautiful plane was definitely an ace.

That’s what the nazi symbols are for? The kills the pilot got?

@@starsmoth5182 Yeah, they're Victory Markings, a decal painted on the plane to show the pilot's kill count. Usually the flag or symbol of the country that owned the plane they shot down, I think.

@@koencagurangan3256 yes true

That sounds cool!

I'm turning green with envy. Was it a training variant? (Two seater.)

There was considerable irony in the American performance in the war. We accept the adulation of the western world for having saved it from fascism, and if it's not forthcomiing, we are not shy about reminding the world of what they owe us. However, if Japan hadn't forced the issue, it's debatable whether we would have ever participated at all. It took us most of the war to realize that barring African American citizens from flying was self-destructive. They proved MORE than the equal of the white pilots. The ultimate irony though is that we ostensibly fought to defeat fascism, but we rolled over and allowed the fascist elements in our own country to convince us that the BEST ethnic group of American citizens couldn't be trusted, and put them into concentration camps, without ever showing that a single Japanese American was disloyal. A great number of them fought for America, and their families and descendants, to this day betray no sense that they feel betrayed. I grew up in a community which was largely Japanese American, and they were, and are, by far the best Americans I've ever known. The pathetic reparations that were paid decades after the atrocity were only a testimony to what a shit culture white America, MY culture, really is. We have so much to be ashamed of, like accepting, without a fight the appointment of the fascist tRump as President by the Russian dictator. We won't fight back, so we are nothing more than a Russian satellite now. Our democracy is very nearly irretrievably injured, and honestly, good riddance. Killed by white trash.

True. But I never understood why so many American planes during WWII flew in combat in shinny aluminum airframes? (I know, not to this degree.) The sun reflecting back off must have given them away for miles. The Germans easily had the best aircraft camo schemes. Just an observation.

@@machbaby Actually that was a warning to the enemy pilots that they were about to have a bad day A P51D shot down an ME262

i am not suggesting the mustang is a spitfire, before you guys ride me :) . i have the racing at Reno on my bucket list, if they haven't banned it by then. I am lucky to live on the Kent Coast and in the summer hear that merlin engine as Spitfires fly to the Shows along the Kent Coast. Not that many left now. "Never so much owed by so many to so few"

Film Masters it should be illegal to mistreat a P-51.

happy Seal Yeah, If something has a fine penalty, it’s illegal..

So the swastikas, are they there because of the 3rd Reich or for a symbolic religious view.

@@milomars5237 its supposed to say how many german aircraft it shot down supposedly

Venooby ohh, that makes more sense

It is my favorite!

***** I'm listening..

Yeah, Supermarine is right up there, I did say the Mustang was ONE of the sexiest aircraft ever ;) I remember one of my early flights as a student pilot (quite a while ago now) I was heading back to base after some stall / spin training when I heard a transmission in my headset to the local TC mentioning something about Mustang, aerobatic maneuvers and training area (where I was). Next thing I knew I heard the roar of a merlin 12 and a silver streak came rocketing past, barrel rolling over the top of my little Piper Tomahawk, climbing away then looping back towards me to pass about 500ft to port before turning, passing me again and crossing my nose from low starboard to high port. Aside from being just awestruck by the sight and sound of one of my hero aircraft tearing around me, I momentarily imagined I was in a fighter trying to get guns on this silver streak and realised that this would be a bloody hard thing to achieve! (especially in a Tommy). It was incredible and to this day, one of my favourite flying experiences. It was the day I truly fell in love with the P51. So yeah, you can have your SM ;)

*****​ I feel very lucky to have experienced it, a few minutes later and I would have missed it! I just realised that it sounds in my telling of it like the p51 was really close as it went over the top of me. In truth it wouldn't have got closer than 500ft, but to me it seemed I could have reached out and touched it. I can still feel the rumble in my chest as it went past. A truly wonderful memory.

Alan Hamilton That would have been something to behold!

the p-51 it was an ugly plane all the germans planes are beter

I personally think the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is the best

Heheh. I hope you checked the trim tabs and governor pressure and made sure that the gun ports were clear. That must have been the Mother of all school routes that you drove...

😀they must have been Russians

Part 3

'll bg7yg

Just looking at that cockpit sends shivers down my spine, too. It's beautiful isn't it?
