Awesome short clip, thanks for sharing!  :salute I would love to fly in a 51 to see how it flew in real life I bet it was a beast according to some of these stories.

Absolutely, awesomely amazing!  It brought tears to my eyes when the pilot had to help boost Jim Brooks up onto the wing for his flight, but sent chills down my spine to see him up and flying in it again after 60+ years.  They truly were the "greatest generation"!

It was pretty cool when February came up next to him while he was flying as well.

It's amazing what these guys went through, and I will always feel so tiny and insignificant compared to them.

Yeah thats a wonderful film with great camera work.

Theres something about the P-51 that makes me never tire of seeing her fly. I admire many military aircraft, indeed about every WW-ll one. But the lines of the Mustang are truly beautiful. At the end, with grandfather and grandson flying dual with the Tetons in the background? Thats pretty powerful stuff. :salute
