FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

Oh man, I got to see two mustangs up close (one at an FBO in Idaho, the owner pulled up as I was waiting on a friend to land) and another one at my home airport KCCR during a Wings of Freedom tour. Videos on my channel. Passed my PPL checkride a few weeks ago and just joined a flight club at KLVK - next time you're in the area let's do a fly out!

I really enjoy your show and in the mustang episode was such a pleasure because you did leave the music out so we can hear the engines and it was so much better. there are lots of people who enjoy real sound more then emotional busy music. Please keep making great shows and know the your content is great and the music is only making it a little better for some people we love planes and we love all the sounds they make and we love all the good advice and ideas you speak

My grandfather, a WWII vet, always told a story about having to go from San Antonio to Houston for a conference and one of the guys making the trip with him suggested they just take his plane. My grandfather expected a 172 or a Cub, what he got was a Mustang. He talked about that ride until the day he died. Would love to get to do it one day myself. Great video! Thanks for this! Much respect to both pilots as well. Pure artistry.

At 13 years old I got a ride in a jump seat Mustang from the owner of a small strip in So.Nevada. I washed and waxed and fueled a lot of aircraft that spring and summer, and on my birthday in June I got a 30 minute ride. The owner and pilot was a WW2 Mustang pilot so he really knew how to fly that thing. Back then we were using 145 Avgas and he REALLY showed me what the thing could do. I didn't sleep for 2 days prior and dreamed about that ride for years after. What a birthday present. Thanks for sharing!

My father flew P51D Mustang in WWII from 1941-1945. He was in the 479th Fighter Squadron, 434th Fighter Group. Flew with Ace Colonel Robin Olds, He told me many stories about the plane and how they would take out the back seats and put in fuel tanks for some missions... even told stories of some of the squadron not making it back in. So many memories about this plane. Great video.

My Dad flew a P38, then a P51 for the 79th out of Kingscliffe,Eng, Feb 44 to Aug 44. He strafed the beaches at Normandy on D-day. They were ground strafers, better known as the locobashers. He was downed in his P51 by low level flak over Berlin, captured and a POW at Stalag lift 1 until the end of the war. His P51 was “Guardian Angel”. His P38 was “Hells Bell”

I was able to attend an air show last weekend. Main attraction F-22 Rapter WOW! Also, heritage flight with Mustang & Rapter. Im a native to Razorback territory (Arkansas) living in PA. I must admit these folks caused me to fall a lil bit in live with PA during the opening ceremony. Golden Knight sky diver with Old Glory in tow & young lady singinv national anthem. She struggles to clear her throat & finally says, "I cant do it". Then someone in the crowd yells, "Yes you can" and it seemed everyone joined in and sang it with her. God Bless America, I love this country!

My father flew the P-40 over North Africa then on over Europe with the P-51, all total he had 18 kills. I have all his classified mission sorties. His dog fights on 8mm film reals and other things. I always wanted to go up in a P-51 like Flight Chops did but have never had a chance to do. No other sound in the world is like the P-51, so I built and road a Harley and no other bikes sound like a Harley. When the war was over he went on as a test pilot for the P-80 and the first G-suit. I wish he was were today to see all the new technology. Thanks for the video I’m glad you got to go for the ride.

Once again, you're giving me wonderful flashbacks. My three Mustang rides were so long ago; '82/'84/'86... but I still remember them so well. Loved your audio; on my flights I didn't get video, but lots of 35mm photos and I some decent audio on cassette tapes which I still have. Almost got a ride in a Spitfire... but I weighed too much for the aft CG. And of course nothing can top the P-40 rides that ended up on magazine covers. Thanks again my friend... just... wonderful.

He makes the P-51 sound like the SR-20. A very nice bird, but if you take her outside the envelope be prepared to dance. They actually share the abrupt stall characteristic, but the cirrus has a very benign break. Anyway, awesome flight! Love the warbirds and formation.

This is a great video, thanks a lot! It's incredibly to hear how difficult it is to fly the plane, I'm happy to just watch them fly!😨 I've been fortunate enough to see Mustang Sally fly a few times in South Africa and she is a beautiful plane! I love the sound of that V12, especially how the sound changes completely from approaching and flying away. As much as I love the pure beauty of the P-51 what always gets me when I see WW2 war birds flying is the thought of the young men that flew and gave their lives while flying them. I've only seen a P-51, Spitfire and Sea Fury flying at local air shows but those are more than enough to work up the emotions. War truly is terrible, it's amazing that such beautiful aircraft were involved in such a terrible event in history.

I just wanted say, I met Dr Ken Wagner at the Provo, UT airport roughly 8 years ago... There was some rough weather, while on his way from California to Osh Kosh WI air show & he overnighted it in Provo along w/ his P-51 until calmer weather arrived...I came to pick him up from the airport &( drive to the hotel )and it was awesome to visit w/ him and to watch him fire up his mustang for me...He went out of his way to show me his plane up close... He let me help him guide it into the hangar for the night before we left...He also told me all about the background of the V-12 Rolls Royce engine the P-51 has. But when he fired it up for me, Wow!...(It was truly awesome to see up close, w/ the flames from the engine & all!) ..It's good to see he's still as friendly and inviting as he was back then w/ me,( when I was just a guy who worked @ the local hotel there to pick him up for the night.)

*****​ I am so glad you felt appreciated enough to take the time to thank me and I'm glad my enthuastic appreciation of what you do had a positive emotional impact on you :) (from the sounds of it anyway). You certainly have affected me positively for life. I fell in love with trains first, then planes, then automobiles. I remember what first made me start to appreciate 50s and 60s Ferraris back in high school, was first the obvious: the beautiful Pininfarina bodies and some Fantuzzi, Zagato, Vignale and Touring bodies as well as I was to find later. Secondly the idea of such a small manufacturer making an in-house, small displacement (1.5 to 3.0 liter usually) V-12. It was only years later that I heard the wonderful wail of a 3.0 L Columbo V-12; a sound described as a tremendous air wrenching sound like ripping 50,000 sheets of calico (cloth) at the same time. A sound that quite literally makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Every time. :) But what took me years to realize was that the passion of one man Enzo Ferrari and the passion the Italians generally put into cars was had the biggest emotional effect on me. Our emotions are our barometer, our measuring stick, if you will, so when we feel good it shows us we're on the right path! :) I say all of this because your channel has reminded me how much and how important it was to have planes back in my life. Your work has given me more life in my life. :) This is even more important to me, being disabled and spending most of my time in bed. Seeing the quality and variety of what you post here has put more spark and passion in my life. And this despite the fact that I don't think it's possible for my health to get better to the degree where I can even pass a flight physical. Thank you kindly for the joy and excitement you bring into my life and thank you for the genuine passion you show for this. It is with passion and focused intent that we can create and manifest miracles in our life. And it is with positivity that you create and attract more positivity.

Awesome cinamatics in difficult conditions. Fascinating insights. Some very experienced pilots have lost their lives flying warbirds. So sad. You should come to warbirds over wanaka here in NZ. Thanks for sharing. Love that v12. Wish there were more Tempests still flying. One of my favourites...muscle car of the sky’s. cost of maintaining one must be colossal

Thank you! Thank You! Thank You for keeping the sound of the Merlin in and not drowning it out with music. Dr. Wagner is awesome and I've talked to him a few times at Oshkosh about Mustang flying as the closest I get is with A2A Simulations P-51D Civilian model which in my experience in talking to real mustang pilots is as close as you can get to the real deal. Rudder, rudder and more rudder!!

This is a very awesome video. I love the Mustangs so much, a very provocative looking plane. Them pilots are truly great guys from listening to their interview you had with them. Your video was so interesting I have to subscribe. I cannot believe you do not have more views than you do but as time goes by I am sure your video will be flooded with views and comments. Thank you so much for sharing. Very interesting for sure.
