P-38 Lightning, P-51 Mustang & more - VERY low flybys 

These are some clips from Airshow Dispatches S04E03 - if you enjoyed it, you can watch the full 50 minute film free here: thisisflight.net/videos/airshow-dispatches-s04e03-antidotum-airshow-leszno/ It includes much more of the Flying Bulls' warbird performances, including a sunset show with all four of these aircraft in formation.

A great example of following rule # 1 of airplane videos. Rule #1. No annoying music.

That is one hot P-38! It always amazes me at how quiet the P-38 is from the ground. Definitely one of Kelly Johnson's sexiest designs.

Massive respect to the folks who maintain these in flyable condition, it must take a great deal of blood, sweat and dedication to keep an aircraft that is around 80 years old airworthy.

That P51-D sounds amazing. They all do, but that one in particular.

P-38s are very quiet compared to most other WWII aircraft.

The audio from the Lightning is sublime! thank you.

LOVE these WW2 era, and the commercial prop aircraft. The sound of those props as they pass by, there's nothing like it. It's a damn shame so many were scrapped after the war.

Pure heaven for us aircraft lovers.......beautiful

My kind of aircraft. P38, P51 always been amongst my favorites.

Who the hell would want to erase history ! These planes give me goosebumps every time I see and hear them flying .

My kind of aircraft. P38, P51 always been amongst my favorites.. Piston engine is the golden era of aviation..

The P-51 is a badass looking plane.

N25Y is one of the most BEAUTIFUL airplanes EVER. As a kid, I had the privilege of seeing Lefty Gardner fly her in MANY CAF airshows, and, as an adult (air traffic controller at Bakersfield, CA) I got to watch good ol' Lefty fly one of his last airshow performances with her. The grace with which he could fly that (then) beautiful white Lightning was literally AWE INSPIRING!! She had a few very rough years after Lefty stopped flying her, but it is WONDERFUL to now see her, all polished, flying with the Red Bull team!!

Piston engine is the golden era of aviation.

It's amazing those old planes are still in the air.

Tools of the Greatest Generation. 🇺🇸

P38, pure beauty in motion.

Those P38's were some mean looking machines - especially in your rear-view mirror!

It's good to see and hear these old planes like the P51 Mustang, P38 Lightning, P47 Thunderbolt, B25 Mitchell, They saved us from the Nazis and the Japanese plus the pilots who flew them and those who never returned. Alan Merseyside/England 🇬🇧.

Wow, love this. Great sound and the prop blur is natural. Can't watch the ones where the props are strobing or freezing.

I have flown them all....P38s, P51s, Corsairs, Hellcats, B17s, Wildcats...you name it. All while flying combat in the Pacific and Europe...with my IL2 Flight sim!✊😁

No wonder P-38s were called Cadillacs by their pilots...They had full exhaust systems instead of just short stacks. Their hidden manifold pipes went back to 2/3 fuselage powering the Turbo-Super-Chargers then vented upward... Keeping the P-38 "Quiet as a Cadillac"... Republic's P-47 Thunderbolt had an exhaust system too. Same thing as running tailpipes out to the back bumper on a car and then angling them downward.

I love watching stuff like this so cool

The polished steel body and props on the P-38 take it from a powerful war bird to a full blown Chariot of the Gods… I love it when a good design doesn’t compromise on great looks!

very nicely filmed

Nothing like the sound of a Radial Engine in flight and that low.

Like to see a P-38 up close and personal. Just a beautiful plane!

I'd rather hear these planes pass over head more than any modern jet. Just like I'd rather hear an old steam-powered locomotive than today's diesel electric ones. Hell, that goes for cars and especially music. Somebody, please build a time machine and drop me off way back when.

The engines are the music!

Great video!

awesome

sweet stuff!

My favorite realistic model flight sim years ago was the P-38. The Mustang second.

Bravo.perfect

Nice to see a P-38 with, apparently, turbochargers fitted. Some restored ones don't have them.

Nothing more romantic as these old piston engine war birds flying. THe sound of jet engines just don't cut it like these old engines.

Beautiful aircraft. Some interesting information you may not know; the P-38 was an overall better aircraft than the P-51. Believe it or not, the P-51 was only 600lbs lighter than the P-38, yet made roughly 50% less power. The P-38 was faster at all altitudes, but above 12,000 feet, the P-38 would outperform every other WW2 aircraft in the sky, in all categories. While the two aircraft's turn performance was similar above 300mph; below 250mph, the P-38 had better turn performance than the P-51. The P-38 also has flown more pilots to become ACE's than any other fighter in American history.

We all would love to be in those planes.

Nothing like the v-12's

i still have yet to see a flying p 38... :( maybe next year there be one at oshkosh

All great planes but P38 is ethereal.

They made them to last, forever..

For REALLY low fly-bys,check out the late Ray Hanna.

I wonder what would happen if you put those new scimitar props on a -38? Bet it would be interesting.

A new P38 slanted wings, new jet engines would be a unbelievable fighter jet

I don’t think she had the turbos installed back when she was White Lightning and flown/owned by Lefty Gardener. No real use for them at low altitudes, where warbirds live their civilian life. Curious whether the Flying Bulls included them in their restored configuration.

What Mustang is that?

Is the smoke generator sprayed on the waste gate? I can't imagine paraffin being particularly healthy for the turbo wheel.

Approximately what speed are these flybys?

I missed good ol' fashioned prop blur.

Low? Maybe, but the Spitfire low pass over the reporter still takes the cake.

Whats the name of the P38?

B-25 takeoff scene from Catch-22 for a real B-25 thrill.

You'd get more of a sense of the speed if the camera wouldn't zoom in and out every time. Stay still for one of the passes

' beautifully airplane with 2 propellers that need to opposite spins... not both same spins

❤

Is the P-38 turboprop engined or has mufflers ? ? we hear only the propellers

Why the smoky exhaust on the P-38?

twin tailed 😈 devil

👍👍👏👏

the t-28 sounds like a Volkswagen... 😂😂😂

Is that P-38 crop dusting? A lot of smoke back there….

I meant hootie

Not bad

This is the castrated p38 , it has no turbocharged systems .. and it’s way too shiny

Ray Hanner was lower.

I wish they would stop flying the P-38 as there are not very many left.

Lefty Gardner did it better .

Shit planes 😂😂😂

Shame on redbull for plastering their logo on such a beautiful airplane.
