Great video, thanks for posting. The P-51 is such an amazing aircraft, as are the pilots who fly them especially those who flew combat. I would truly love to take a flight in one. I work in the NASCAR industry, so every once in a while we will get to a track to setup for our broadcasts and Jack Roush will do a fly over or a few acrobatics over the track and you can't help but be awe struck.

Simply put, the P-51 is not only the best looking plane ever built, it had moxie to match. When the B-17's first appeared over Berlin, not alone, as previously, but with escorting P-51's that could mix it up with the ME-105's and the Folke Wolfe's, (and by that time, with better pilots, to boot) that must have been quite a shock. Great video, Mike.
