My 12 year old self, got a ride in "Sugar Booger", now named "Pecos Bill", when she was rebuilt by Mr. Bill Hubbs from Pecos, Texas. I will always have vivid memories of that flight. I had to sit on the old radio behind the pilot. They tied me in with a rope. My nose bled. I got tunnel vision. I was almost deaf from the sounds of engine, airflow and yelling so I wouldn't pass out. God knows, I'd do it all again. Pecos to Ft. Stockton in 11 minutes. 1969. Thank you, so much, for posting this.

Wow! That sounded like a bunch of angry Bees when they run up the engines. Thanks for posting this!

This brought back so many memories of EAA with my Dad! The fighters ( warbirds ) used to line up in front of the crowd before the big Sunday show, and tach up those Merlins for a few minutes, and the ground vibrated 100 yards away...There is no sound in aviation to compare to the Merlin V12 in a P51....Thanks for posting this!!!

Great warbirds. Spitfire and 51 mustang.. 👍🇺🇲🇬🇧

THANK YOU so much for posting this! My father was given the honor of flying the last operating military P-51 from EAFB, CA to it's place of retirement at the Aeronautical Space Museum. There was news coverage & everything! He felt so honored to have been the pilot chosen to retire his favorite plane. He had the privilege of meeting Bob Hoover and I am sure they talked about what a great bird it was to fly. While working for EAFB, he would do flyovers over our home & showoff his favorite plane. You could hear him coming and that engine roaring, swooping down low, then rocking the wings as if he was waving at all of us standing in awe at the amazing pilot in the magnificent plane! After retiring his favorite plane, my dad also then retired. He said that, "It just wasn't the same anymore without "his" beloved airplane to fly". This was in about 1979-1980? (I will have to check my facts because dad is now flying in Heaven now). He had the poem "High Flight" read at his funeral. He was a WWII & Korean War veteran respectively. Rest In Peace Dad...you are missed beyond words.

When I am Emperor the first thing I will do is eliminate announcers at vintage air shows. History will call me William The Magnificent.

5 eargasms in a row with no smoke break between. Amazing.

A HUGE thank you for this unique video - would never think possible seeing such a show, and in quality that high. Greetings from Italy.

That B/C Mustang is awesome, can't be many of those left. BEAUTIFUL!!!

And the Day was an extra 15 Minutes Long due to the Runnup of Massed Mustangs... Beautiful!!!

Best all around fighter aircraft of all time in three surveys. My all time fave.

Amazing that, to see and hear so many together like that. Beautiful aircraft.

thank you so much ! for this video excellent aerial spectacle of the mustangs, apparatuses of any beauty. ! it's great. takeoffs for two.

Gorgeous airplane!

Saw something similar at Oshkosh. A bunch of P-51s lined up facing the audience then all started those magnificent Rolls-Royce engines at once. Later I walked past their parking area and got a great photo of the unpainted polished one against a setting Sun.

THIS...... Made My Day ! Love the P-51

Great video the P-51 is my favorite WWII era Pursuit aircraft. I had the honor of seeing the P-51 Mustang flown by the pilot call sign By Request of the great Tuskegee Airmen.

WHAT AN AWSOME SIGHT, AND SOUND!!!!!!!!!!

what a beautiful plane !!!

!!!!!! P51 . El cadillac del cielo !!!!!!!

Beutiful video , my king of Air plane, the 51 Mustang, so pretty and the sound is great. I gues if there was something i never did get to do in life that I wanted to do it would be to fly in a P51 mustang,

It’s beautiful

Awesome, beautiful machine.

awesome

Magnificent beauties❤

One fighter group . Thank you .

Awesome Video!

I agree on the announcer. He sounds a little like the great Sandy Sanders, but I don't recall Sandy talking OVER the music of the V-12s like this guy. PUT A CORK IN IT!!!

Cool!

14 Mustang's doing a simulatnoeus run-up. What a sound!

I LOVE the P=51 Mustang! I wish I owned one...

P -51を始め、グラマンヘルキャット、空飛ぶ要塞B-29、双胴の悪魔P-38等々アメリカが誇る造形美溢れる機体はいつ見ても惚れ惚れします。悔しいけど日本が負けたのも納得です。

amazing.....

WW2の傑作P-51は造形美ここに極めり、惚れ惚れする機体、アメリカ人が誇示する気持ちがよくわかる。

The D model is very cool with the bubble canopy, but my favorite looking 'Tang" is the A model. Really cool looking!

サターンボンバーマンファイトのまみ!!　さやか先輩もがんばれ

A gathering of angels

Arrrrrrrgh, too much yakking! Let the Mustangs speak for themselves!!

Wow what a gaggle of stangs....way cool...that's a show of American Power!!! God bless the United States

DAMN!

Bob Hoover's "Ole Yeller" Yay!

Belli belli belli 👍🏼

Those are Bad Ass!

mami mother Tournament the P-51 mustang!!

Woooow.

So,,,Cool,,,NICE,,, planes. awsome,, aircraft,,,,

9:17, he was bookn it

Wow!

What I would give to fly one of those Beautiful Birds.

Those laminar flow wings don't give a whole lot of lift until sufficient ground speed!

I WANT TO BE AT THIS AIRSHOW !!!!

I only like 2 types of music 1. Disney songs 2. Engine sound of classic warbirds

Too Cool ;)

The p51 from 2:26 - 2:38 was from my home town, the pilot and passenger were killed when it crashed Nov. 17, 2018

My head phones make the bottom of my feet vibrate

Fighter escort , heavy bombers ,B-17 , B-24:, B-29 . Thank you .

Just imagine our guys at 24-27 years old flying these Mustangs across Europe escorting bombers on their way to bring hell below to the enemy during WW2.

レウィシアいたのか

V12 power

Definite bucket list item. I would LOVE to hear the roar of the thunder and FREEDOM of these war birds. Thank you for the video minus the announcer the next time?

TA PARECENDO NO TEMPO QUE ELE ERA O PRINCIPAL CAÇA AMERICANO

What percentage of the flyable P-51s in the US were in this display?

There's also a Hawker Seafury and a Yak...

P51 Mustang with a Rolls Royce Merlin V12 Super,Charger against a F15

Them thing are BEAUTIFUL !!! (I can hear German soldiers just quaking in their boots sitting in their ME 109s .... :) )

Awsome,machines!!!! Love to see a P51 against a F15 in a dog fight that Would Very Interesting old,SCHOOL AGAINST computers

RIP _Baby Duck_

Bob Hoover’s old plane.😭

When you want to play world of warthunder but you call your friends!

How many Merlins?!

Old yeller, that's bob hover's plane

14 planes at $3000/hr flight time each - I just watched an expensive show. Thank You it was awesome - the V12 engines sound amazing & better yet they were Made in the USA! Maybe President Trump will bring manufacturing back home.

I am surprised there are so many Mustangs still flying.

lol plane at 1:40 would have been super effective at coming at enemy planes from the sun angle

Greatest invention of the war was the Merlin engine. It made the Mustang what it was destined to become, and the Spitfire, Hurricane. Mosquito. Lancaster bomber. Halifax bomber.... And probably a few more I've forgotten. Bless Rolls Royce and Packard

🧐

Old Crow must have been a popular name.

Us. Power.

Why would anyone fly a yellow P51? Even Bob Hoover thought it was a terrible thing to do to such a beautiful bird?

This is what it looked like and sounded like about eighty years ago when twenty somethings took off and went to war over Europe!

For to WW3

おい　シーフューリー乱入

Eat your hearts out you Limey Bastards !!! The sound of VICTORY.......The sound of FREEDOM !!!!!

Boy, it was all good until the guy kept talking. . . . .and talking. . . .😬

T

Invaciion a corea

No offense intended to the announcer but I think I would've rather listened to all those V-12's thundering down the runway.

All this commenters seem to want to maintain radio silence

This is better than porn!

Man that announcer is annoying talking threw that beautiful sound!

Has to be a mishap on part of the organizing committee to hire an announcer from a circus somewhere, somehow, it just doesn't really comply with the engine roar, the reason affectionados are there in the first place, weird, organizer don't seem to know it's a law of nature, never, never ever speak from when engines start up to at least five minutes after, the latter being the solemn part in total silence

announcer in WW2: ALL PILOTS TO YOUR AIRCRAFT THIS IS NOT A DRILL REPEAT NOT A DRILL TROOPS IN CONTACT guy in lead plane: right boys, we have troops in contact with heavy german infantry, we have been tasked to tear those germans up and cover the boys on the ground, keep an eye on your ammo and fuel save enough for 40 minutes firing runs and enough to return home copy? *second pilot* copy *3rd pilot* copy

YUCK! Never paint a P-51 all yellow or with modern paint schemes or strips. You can never go wrong with the Black and Yellow or Red and White checkered nose and D-Day black and white stripes.

great video but holy crap can the guy on the mic just stop talking for 1 second? Who wants to know/cares about production statics and all that minutia when there's ~20,000 horsepower worth of Merlin engine to listen to.

Please strafe the annoying announcer!

What a beautiful sight....... but the entire time I’m thinking how well a strip or two of duct tape over the incessanty babbling mouth of the announcer would have made the show so much more enjoyable.

That's some horsepower right there!
