Nothing more beautiful than a P-51D Mustang and the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin Engine.
I guess you are married
@@FubarGuy666- YES SIR'EE.
P47D-30 and later
Rolls Royce did not build the production engines for the P-51. They were built by Packard under license from Rolls Royce.
@@darrellmartin3268 it is still british engine..not american
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, you cannot beat the purr of a Merlin and the roar when she does a flyby. Just awesome!
One sound does beat it: 4 Merlins! Had the chance to tour the one flying Lancaster. It then flew, and 4 Merlins on a low pass can not be described.
@@ceddavis don't forget the mozzy , two better than one , but not as good a sound as the Lancaster I admit.
Beautiful ol girl! Thanks for keeping her flying and thanks for sharing!
One of the most gorgeous airplanes ever built.
instablaster...
I put the P-51's design right up there with the B-29. No planes since have been prettier!
People talk a lot about muscle CARS. This is a muscle PLANE! V 12, twin stage supercharger, in 1942? Bad Ass!
well... not on the stang.. they'd only get them in 1943. ;)
but yes, high power V12s of the time were marvels of technology
Aircraft engine manufactures were doing all this stuff back in 1940's what we doing today in Automotive. Water methanol injection, supercharging, turbo and super charging. Air cooled, Water-cooled. The water cooled V12's were great but eventually the radial engines surpassed them in power and reliability. Aircraft like the F4-U and Hellcat big radial engines if these engines lost a few cylinders from gunfire they kept running the piston would just go up and down without a cylinder brought the pilot home. Where the RR Merlin was water cooled if it got hit in the block it was done or even the radiator.
@@Mike-01234 Not true, The later production Napier Sabres made more power than either the Wright R_3350 or the P&W R4360. Yes the P&W R-2800 eventually (after WW2) became a reliable engine with a good TBO, so did the Bristol Centaurus.
Losing any one cylinder on any radial and it returning to base is a myth, It means a catastrophic engine failure just like any other engine. There have been one or two cases of cylinder heads being badly damaged but not loss of any cylinders. Can you imagine what an uncontained connecting rod and massive piston are going to do when it is flailing around without a cylinder? It will smash the crankcase to pieces within seconds.
But you keep on with your belief in a total myth.
*BRITISH* Muscle... The engine was a Packard V-1650 Merlin which was built under license from Rolls Royce. The same engine was later used in the Spitfire Mk IX
@@Slaktrax a myth? Really? I've heard that story from many Thunderbolt pilots. Just anecdotal i guess.
It is amazing something so old can look so modern.
they had holographic aiming devices on this plane. It was state of the art.
@@Kasperbus The K-14 gyroscopic gunsight.
Gotta love these old vintage prop planes. They paved the road/future for the jet powered planes.
My favorite airplane of any era!!!
FU Corsair anyday my favorite fighter plane.
@@christopherarnett2851 I am a corsair dude too.
I found a photo of 2 RAF Mk111’s at an airfield near Cambridge in the UK starting up. 1 has just “ caught” the other looks like his propeller is turning . The thing that made that photo extra special was my dad flew Mustang 111’s at that time in that squadron. It may have been him in one of those planes. I have found 4 photos of Dad looking through photos of that period.
My grandkids just watched where some of these engines wound up, as they watched the Miss Bardahl unlimited class hydroplane. One of the "Thunderboats"
Beautiful bird. I wish I was rich enough to buy one. I can’t even afford a ride along in one
Several years ago i spent the money and had a ride in one, worth every penny !!!
@@ddee2501 what did it cost to ride in one? I'd like to do that. I think theres one that sits in a hangar in Oshkosh.
Tom Cruise owns a Mustang.
@@valeriethornblade9466 thats awesome!! Shame he’s a scientologist.
I can’t afford to watch one fly.
Thank you for the nice video!
Damn beautiful bird!
A most beautiful noise !...👍🏻
Gorgeous. Airplane with nose propellers look so cool yet funny at the same time.
Agreed. It’s funny how the perspective of time does that tho. My grandfather had the privilege of being one of the first to tear down and analyze a captured ME-262 and he wrote in his diary how strange it looked not seeing a propeller on it.
Music to my ears!
Very intense!
man what a beautiful airplane
What a Beauty...
The mustang just looks right very smooth aircraft
My favorite war bird
When you look at a 747, you dont dream of flying. When you look at a p51, you do.
Very nice!
AWESOME !
Le plus beau des avions de chasse avec le F4U Corsair avec verrière en "goutte d'eau" ainsi que le P47 Thunderbolt avec également la verrière en forme de goutte d'eau. Mon cœur balance entre ses trois avions fabuleux je crois que je préfère le Vought Corsair. Quel magnifique bruit que ce 12 cylindres en ligne. Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo, vive la France !
What a good looking plane
Like I always say, she's purring like a kitten. Beautiful airplane, it was used in the 2012 film Red Tails along with the P-40 Warhawk
I know of no other WWII AIR Raft as beautiful as the Mustang.
Golly this cell keyboard is a real bear sometimes. As a young man I built any number of Mustang models. Absolutely beee...ùuu..ti full. Airplane...
Anybody gonna talk about the bomb attached to the wing🤣🤣
I disagree. F-51s as they were called by then did extensive ground-attack work in Korea, since there were not enough left of the more suitable P-47 Thunderbolts! Thank you so much for showing a Mustang in this very rare and little-known configuration!
My dad used to be good friends with a dentist everybody called "doc" that had a p51d called Sierra sue. This wouldn't be the same one would it? He lived in Minnesota if I remember correctly that was almost 30 years ago now. Shit I'm getting old. He used to come down and do the air show in our little town. It was always something I looked forward to. It was usually him, they had a t28, and a b25 come too. Back when those where still a thing
There is actually a video on the use of F-51s in the ground attack role, apparently with the same type of bombs in conjunction with Rocket protectiles
I love when guys say they have a 6.6 litre or a 7 litre engine, well this baby has a 27 litre engine so there.
Beautiful restoration and great camera work. Thanks for posting. However, is there a way to 'smooth out' the digital image, to blend the propellor blades into a smooth disk? In person, that's what it looks like, instead of the strobe-effect frozen action from the fast digital camera? In any event, thanks for a great video clip.
It depends on the camera.
banjocordian You'd have to change the FPS to 24, shutter speed to 1/48 of a second and adjust f-stop/apeture to correct exposure.
Bingo,,, It's All About ''Frame Rate'',,, Guess This Guy Never Watched Old Western Movies Where The Stage Coach Wheels Turned,,,''Backwards''
Simple to fix the nauseating rubber-bendy, slow moving prop syndrome. Just get an ND filter.
Cadillac of the Skies.
I want one.
AirCorps did a great restoration of Siera Sue II.
they did a beautiful job! 5 million bucks?
@@Kasperbus Mustangs are on average selling anywhere from $2.5 to $3 million a piece. One of my close friends restored three Mustangs. He said it's less than the selling price, to restore your own Mustang. Sierra Sue is on the $3 million end.
Wish i could take lola up in mustang!
apart from beautiful, it is elegant
Rolls Royce Merlin yes, but I believe Packard America refined lots of things on this engine.
Maj.Don Gentile Ace of Aces and a One Man Air Force With 29 aerial victories and 3 damaged with 6 ground kills in 350 combat hours had a beautiful P51 called the Shangri-la.
The plane that helped win the war over Germany as it could escort our bombers all the way and back to base.
I'm not sure but I think the reason the propeller is moving so slow is because the cameras frame rate is not high enough to show the prop moving at full speed
Where can I find info about the 3 lights under the starboard wing to have contact with ground personnel...??...troops , etc. BTW, rear vision mirrors were almost useless re the vibration, so I have learned !
BIGGLES flys again I believe they”re formation lights
@@vixen0347 Nope,,,,,,,to signal to ground troops !
BIGGLES flys again yeah, you’re correct. Formation lights were blue I believe
My uncle flew a P-51D he told me(when he was alive) the MUSTANG was an INCREDIBLE PLANE🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☝️☝️☝️
Just curious, every other war-bird startup usually has an initial cloud of smoke due to the pre-oiling and rich fuel mixture used to start. Not a puff of smoke here?
It flew 1 hour before, and it is just a fresh built. Really good shape. It is shot on iPhone and it was a hot day. The engine was still hot. I don't think you get the puff every time. Maybe someone else would know better. It did have flames on startup.
When Goering saw this plane protecting the bombers over Germany he said “we lost the war “...
That is something really cool to hear!
Then continued with “off to eat another bakery”
highly anecdotal. :-)
I highly doubt that he ever said anything of the sort. Goering was a self-important, hypocritical, narcistic prick who would never have admitted defeat by the appearance of a single airplane. Without him and his boasting and mismanagement, the Luftwaffe would have had a good chance of winning the Battle of Britain.
Also contrary to public opinion the P-51 wasn't superior to the Fw-109 or the late Bf-109s. And of course there was the Me262. The Mustang's main advantage was the extremely long range.
However after losing the oil fields in Russia and the constant bombings of factories and airfields also leaving it's toll the Luftwaffe was weakening. So due to the constant loss of pilots, bad training and lack of fuel the Luftwaffe simply couldn't keep up anymore. It was a numbers game combined with better trained American and British airmen with higher morale.
@@archer494 Good point...but I saw this on Wings that particular was about the P51 ..and the commentator said that..
The most original Mustang I just vapour locked - pratt
Hmmmm I always thought the prop rotated a little faster
Propellers can look a little weird depending on the shutter time and frames per second of the camera
Merlin V-12..?
Pardon pour mon erreur le moteur de cet incroyablement beau avion c'est un 12 cylindres en V. Quelle esthétique incroyable avec sa verrière et sa prise d'air sous son cockpit. Merci🙋

At which airport was this?
Brainard Minesota
What squadron was it in?
402nd Fighter Squadron, 370th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force
www.wotn.org/aircraft/sierrasueii/ all of the history for the aircraft is here
OK guys let's put it to the vote: a night with a beautiful woman or fly this legend through the clouds?
fly the plane
I go to bed every night with a beautiful woman, so she won't mind me skipping one night to take the airplane.
that all depends if she was running on hi-octane
and I'll bet it smells good too
On a night with a full moon!
Some are tandem you could scedual front cocpit$ 1500.00hour!
Where's the K-14?
First dips??????
video quality 10, audio/mic quality 3.
I am sorry it was shot on a phone. We didn't know we will get this privlage to see this plane. Prop effect is issue eith the digital shutter. If it was a global shutter it be fine.
@@Kasperbus you do not need to apologise!
@ Jarvis Patton: even if it is your job and you are the expert, nobody asked you to comment on quality, that is not what this is about, we are not profs at the Universal Studios judging if the shot made is good enough for the public, have a life and enjoy things rather than comment on things!
What a beauty designed by German immigrant Edgar Schmued.
I wonder if they keep their registration or get a new one
+aks flash It would be registered using the original manufacturer serial number (data plate.) Although it is not unusual for owners to paint one to represent a different historical example.
there's a reason it why carries bombs.
It runs like a Harley.
This video is extremely short. We need more - flight.
He did a whole show after that, but I didn't film it! darn
Dont know if the old c modles were presurized. But the d modles were 40 000 ft cieling i think
Only thing better is an F-4U Corsair!
The most eligent plane ever made, but most feared in the air in WW II.
Ive always been a fan of the P51 Mustang but why does the prop look like it’s barely turning?
Shutter effect. Sometimes the propeller rpm matches the camera’s frame rate, giving the illusion that the propeller is turning slowly or not turning at all. To our eyes though, the propeller would look like a transparent black disk.
First dips? Seriously? Dips?
How’s a guy get in on buying, restoring, maintaining, and selling old warbirds?
have millions to spend for fun!
That airplane is easily worth 2.5 million plus. Any of the WW2 fighters are in the seven figure range, so money is a huge part of the equation. Plus they require lots of specialized maintenance, not to mention better than average pilotinng skills. The trainers are considerably cheaper and more available, though.
@@wingmanjim6 is there anyway of projecting how much longer organizations will be able to fly them in airshows?
@@paulzeigler1075 i truly hope to be wrong, but with escalating costs of acquisition, operation, insurance, etc, not to mention increasingly oppressive government regulation, I suspect we are seeing the waning of the Golden Years of Warbird flying., No lesser a personality than Kermit Weeks, who really knows about this stuff first hand, expressed this same concern a few years ago. Enjoy the old birds while we can. !!!
Actually worth 5 million in restorations. Just the scoop under neath cost 260k to make from scratch. It had HUD targeting system. First plane to have a holographic targeting aim cross hairs.
Mobile art.
we cannot go all electric and eliminate these sounds.
I don't understand the label to the video to be honest.
I've seen a p51 fire up in person years ago and it started the same.
Or was it meant as it's all original parts on this plane and the rest are not as original as this one .
Beautiful war bird though none the less.
not sure i would stand where you are standing. bad spot to be if a prop loses a blade
I'm slightly concerned this is a mustang that I'm guessing is in civilian hands with live ordnance (as denoted by the yellow bands) hanging under the wings.........
Why would you be concerned? They are duds, no explosives. Legal to own, everything is legal.
@@Kasperbus They don't appear to be duds, look at the nose of the munitions, yellow band = live, duds are blue.
They are duds. They wouldn't let anyone fly around with real bombs as a private aircraft. Those bombs are 70 years old. Definitely not live. The explovises are removed. They are just for show factor, historical factors. Not here to argue, If you are concerned call the FAA or FBI and let them know.
Yep P51’s all sound pretty much the same. They do sound nice but “most original”....????
What the F^&k was that all about?
Engine start of a legend.
People need to stop using such high shutter speeds on these videos. The propellers look fake without realistic motion blur. For video it should be roughly double the frame rate. 50 for 24p, 60 for 30p. seems every video like this is shot with a shutter speed over a thousand.
Lol I shot it on a iPhone in 2016... Like I knew any of that. Just enjoy and relax.
@@Kasperbus OK, sorry. It explains why so many plane videos have goofy looking 'frozen' propellers. I didn't think iPhones would shutter that fast.
No wonder it can't move,the propeller is barely spinning. It like the clutch is slipping or something. Can't they see that..?
LMFAO! your ingenious. It is video refresh rate, doesn't show the prop spinning
I know that... :-)....., but I am thinking about running for City Council!
Hell,,, Why Not Congress,,,, LMAO
I hear what sounds like a wrist pin noise. Clunking sound or something.
no clutch on aircraft engines...only some ultralight aircraft 2 cylinder engines are fitted with a clutch to avoid bad vibrations at iddle...
british engine...lol
Not even a choice
um all restorations sound like this, yours is not only NOT special its actually Not a great audio quality, STOP PROMOTING THIS AS SOMETHING IT CLERARLY IS NOT
The tittle and aircraft are exactly as advertised. The most original restoration you will find. Just like it came off the production line. Even the Alcoa is still on the aluminum just like during world war 2 production. They didn't have time to polish the alcoa markings off as they rushed to deliver the planes to battle. Who cares about sound, I shot it on a phone by chance of luck being there. You are welcome.
It looks like a CGI to me
Not worth the effort to CGI anything
PLEASE! get rid of those bombs under the wings! A P-51 was never made for ground attack and many were lost in that role due to water radiators punctured by ground fire. Another thing..... they create unneeded parasitic drag and detract from the aesthetic beauty of a North American P-51.
The bombs only cost 10 knots in speed. They are authentic, original equipment.
well my humble opinion, the dummy bombs hangin off the wings just detract from the aircrafts beauty and were a small part of the airplanes combat history. Now if you had a P-47, I'd say the more rockets and bombs hanging off the wing makes that airplane look authentic for the fighter bomber role it played
This is an actual 9th Air Force combat vet Mustang (370th Fighter Group, 402nd Fighter Squadron) that flew ground-support missions in the final weeks of the war in Europe, based at advanced airfields right near the front lines, keeping up with and in support of the advancing Allied troops. Sporting bombs is authentic to the role that this specific airframe performed during WWII. The fact that the aircraft is configured in such a way, as it would have been originally in combat, is a tribute to the men, such as those of the 9th AF, that bravely flew Mustangs in ground support/ground attack missions from D-Day until the end of the war.
OlesonMD its not the 10 knots that matters, its the thousands of dollars in extra gas needed
no dur who said it was an A model
How can it be original if its been restored ? Total bullshit
Original means restored to original condition as if it was fresh of the production line. It is not originally 70 years old obviously.
@@Kasperbus The title is misleading when the phrase says most original that means it still has the original paint and markings matching number period correct engine ,controls and sheet metal and weapons system . This is not original it has been restored. So the statement Original is false.
