That is really neat to see.  The vid from apprx 9:20 to 9:50 really puts in to perspective what a low pass over an airfield is really like.   

Too bad we cant get a P51D and that 190 up in the air and really test out the turns, rolls, climbs, etc.   :aok

Great video...  I noticed the tail end of that looks like it may have had the late war Dora extention put onto the plane, though the tail end itself didn't have the large Dora rudder.  Was it just the paint scheme they used (with that blue stripe) that is causing it to look longer in the tail than it really is, or did they possibly add that to the frame when reconstructing it as an added stability measure?

That's awesome!  I love the taxi down the flight line.  If the 190 could talk it would be saying, "step back puny cessna here comes the wulfinator"!
