Amazing how British engineering is partially key to this competition, greetings from Italy.

Listen to it! I'd been to a bunch of airshows and heard the beautiful sound of a Merilin a few times before but when I went to Reno years ago and heard the sound of a Merlin being pushed hard it was a little frightening. I love seeing'hearing them at the airshows and i really hope we'll all be seeing/hearing them 50 years from now! Wow what music!

Put the guns back in for a really interesting race lol

I LOVE the sound of these old planes... Just freaking awesome.

Never mind formula one, the sound of these babies screaming past made my hair stand on end lol

We lost Bob Hoover this year, just before his 95th birthday, RIP, greatest pilot ever! We will never forget his 500RA show, with both engines feathered the last 5 minutes!!

Awesome job as usual, Jason! Your video is better than the whole NBC show ever wanted to be!

Over two decades ago, I went to my first air race. Never seen one since. Let me tell you, being 5, or so, years old seeing these war birds racing through the air left one hell of a lasting impression! The Mustang is my all time favorite ever since I first heard it fly fast and low during that first turn. Such an amazing sight and sound!

Pausing for a moment to comment on the great video quality !! Much appreciated, good stuff.

I may only be an automotive mechanic, but I know an unhappy motor when I hear one lol

Most EXCELLENT, Jason! Thank you!

In a few other vids, I saw Voodoo streaming all that coal going down the chute and I thought that didn't look good. Congrats to "Hoot" and the Strega team. Great coverage of the races, I really enjoy your vids.

Luckily, Voodoo made it down safely. Always have happy landings!!

Merlin--perfect name for this incredible, astounding engine- kudos to the designer

Excellent! Totally under control! Nice job!!!

Damn I miss going to the air races! Head to head racing not only proves how quick you are but how good of a pilot you are. When the unlimiteds fly to the starting point you can feel the hum inside you. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a plane or racing buff. You'll love it. Oops, pit passes are a must if you're going to make the trip. ✌️♥️

A challenging landing well done.

Amazing plane and great footage!

Beautiful landing under what looked like engine-out conditions. Great sideslip/crabbing to lose altitude and get to the right glideslope, and perfect crab kick at the end to get it down and level. Even coasted it off the runway and out of the way. Awesome piloting, far more so than what's required to win a race - getting a crippled racer down like that is a serious feat. Attaboy!

We live on the other side of the mountains from the Reno air races location. We drive over the hills in my Jeep and watch the show every year. I picked an area were the jets make their turnouts. They get pretty low in that spot. I've taken some really great photos over the years. Even got many pilots to wave back. Best one was we got buzzed by two F22's just skimming the tops of the little trees out there, the roar was so loud thought they'd crack the windows in my Jeep. Great video.

Outstanding video! Best air race video I've seen! Sure do miss the old timers like Rare Bear, Dago Red, Strega, Voodoo, &c. Just found your Rare Bear / Dago Red video. Gonna watch it now...

I'm in love with the mustang, that old war bird just make my heart sing when I see one. Thank you for taking us up, of only on camera.

nice to hear a smooth V12 running along all these brutal radials !

Ils sont tout aussi splendide les uns et les autres quelle course! Merci pour ces petites bombes vidéo rapide!!!

Man! Those are just the sickest sounds 😎

I flew dogfights in WWII . . . umm . . . on my computer, and watching her take those turns at low altitude had me all tensed up. Plus the problem of being aware of where all the other planes are so you don't collide. This is some serious flying. And I love the sound!

YOU'RE STILL Da' Absolute BEST..! 10 X BETTER Than NBC My FRIEND..!

Nice landing in a tense situation.

Saw this in 1970. My, how time flies.

aces on the landing, aces on the edit! 👍

Bob Hoover Hero WWII, test pilot, airshow pilot , Hoot, astronaut and fellow RC modeler, Hinton great aviator flies them all.

My mum was in London in the war. We were in a café last year near Sywell airdrome, Spitfires were practicing overhead. The sound brought back her nightmare memories of mothers running with their children for the bomb shelters. She was reduced to tears by it all. Terrible.

6:18 music to my ears

What always blows my mind almost as much as the speed these planes are achieving with piston engines, is the speeds they are achieving at Reno Stead's altitude. It would also be interesting to get an actual reading of residual thrust from the exhaust.

Also, nice side slipping to a landing at 11:00 with full flaps ! Nice flying!

well...aniway maybe the most beautifull show on earth....Awesome 'n more!!!!!!

Imagine flying that beast. Awesome.

Once again, just brilliant work Jason!!!!!

I like the way throttle them up at the end to clear out the engine from idling down the runway. It would truly feel good to fly one of those race planes.

Steve is an awesome pilot. can't wait to see him fly in this years reno air race. hope you'll do the same camera angle as this video. Greetings from Luxembourg, Western Europe

The p51 is one of the most beautiful planes ever created

Looove the sound of a screaming Merlin!!! Fantastic

Radial engines are dry sump. At low rpm the oil pump cannot keep the oil from building up in the engine.The last run up is to scavenge the oil from the sump. At least that is what it was for in the T-28 I flew in Navy flight school in the early '70s.

aweshome. that was scary 10:00 keeping enough lift to the wings with the motor rattling to land whew.

excellent video

SUPER, THX i enjoy it.

Wonderful.

right on the centreline...

Camera angles are great 😉😀🤗

For being in a constant turn incredible speeds

Wow. That was an acute approach.

Amazing show of power and skill all rapped up in a short video. Question: I don't know anything about air racing engines, why do they power up after they come to a stop. Have my guesses but I'd like to hear it from someone who knows. My guess is that they're cleaning out any carbon and any engine contaminates from the idle in and to ensure oil pressure was up to fill the oil passages before shut down. Thanks for the post, Best Wishes n Blessings Keith

Esto si es fórmula1!!!! Que aviones más bonitos......Son una pasada🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🏴🏳️🏴🏳️🏴🏳️🏴🏳️🏴🏳️🏴🏳️🏁🏁

So much extra stress put on those P51 frames.

How many G forces in the turns ? How high above the ground ?

Que apresentação Fantástica !!!!! É muito bom ver essas máquinas maravilhosas em pleno funcionamento. Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal....... Grande abraço do Brasil........

Looking back on this, voodoo didn’t do too bad being down what looked like at least a cylinder. Saw you mentioned bad piston rings. Definitely came back strong when the team broke the world record!

I am a BIG fan of motor racing, particularly F1 and Le Mans, but this is the coolest. I'm going to Reno this year....

NOW THIS IS POD RACING!!!

"Voodoo will be back and stronger than ever!!".....and she was. 2016 Voodoo won Unlimited Gold, uh, but Strega wasn't in the race because she had been sold, and Rare Bear wasn't there (I don't honestly think it would have mattered since young Steve actually was beating the Bear in 2015 before Voodoo had issues, but Bear is a FAST plane and always a contender). Hats off to Steve Hinton for bringing this one back deadstick. I understand it is way more difficult to do than the PC pilots make out!! Awesome of Dad to ride herd too. I was fortunate to have been present for this event, and it's real neat to see such a young guy be so competitive in this sport! ~S

i wonder if you can draft a prop powered plane just like in road racing? @9:16 u see the f8f wobble a little. looks like he is driving through the jet stream the leading plane created. love those F8F bearcats

GRAND ! Gave me fukn chills..best thing on Earth..

I think he lost too much oil. Brillant Video!

Steve Hinton (Sr) is Da Man !

I'm no flying enthusiast, but that was simply Bad Ass!

Nothing sounds better than an inline engine

Now how do I get to sit in the back seat while they are racing?

Magnificent.

I would like to see a longer course for them to fly so they can get wings level and really pour on the coals for a nice long straight away. But I can see why they have it like this for the fans. They're in a banking turn the whole race! Like Bristol vs Talladega Superspeedway.

Dam. Been 12 years since I’ve heard those name. Strega,Hare Bear.

it this doesn't give you goosebumps,,, nothing will,, mechanical marvels why do I feel like crying while watching these magnificent machines doing their thing

11:30 why the pilot is making pop corn during the flight?

Out standing all yous shipmates.

how do you make sure everybody is on the mark im sure there was somebody about a foot ahead of the rest of the planes giving him an unfair advantage

Thank you once again for another great presentation. Sounded like popcorn going off in the tail cam footage. Much damage to the engine?

My favorite single engine planes are the Mustang but I live all if them. Questiin though, once the planes have taxi'd in they throttle up for a bit, is this done to clear the ports and plugs of unburned fuel?

Is that sMoke out of the engine at 7:08 - 7:15 ish?

Nifty flying Voodoo.

Me gusto el video soy fans de la aviacion

Does anyone know the sink rate of this beast with (I assume) full flaps and power off?

I'm sure Bernie has got it fixed by now!

If a Mink coat made a sound, it would sound exactly like one of these Packhard/Merlin V-12s , at least while it (the engine) was still being properly lubricated.

was that the jiffy pop plane?

How come si many furies end up doing this and where do they get the spare s?

You'll never get these crews to admit what went wrong with their bird. Other crew members can hear the problems pretty fast as all of them have experienced mechanical break downs before. Those popping sounds are hundred dollar bills being blown over the dessert floor.

Why so long you could see the engine starting to fail.

When the engine sounds like rocks in a coffee can something's gone south.

To bad they retired Deggo. Red. Awesome Mustang.

Wow! Just Wow!

Voodoo.... P51b but what engine? Packard Merlin?

Push engines to the limits of their ability and beyond, this is going to happen once on awhile. Too bad it happened to young Mr. Hinton that year. Lol I remember watching him solo a P-51 at Chino, lo these many years ago.😆

"engine trouble"...I'd like to read a little more detail if possible.

Precision mechanical music, very nice !!! Who in the hell would on a poulan chainsaw anyway . Don't expect you to understand !!!

It actually took a while to see he way water or oil burning in the right engine bank. So his engine was already damaged. I guess it's because they were all turning let and he was looking left side. But didn't anyone of his crew or other pilots closeby alerted him???

Did they say what the cause was for the Mayday???

Have you ever wondered why the Sea Furies aren't the dominant planes in the unlimited class? They were faster stock than both the Mustang and the Bearcat, and yet these are the two planes that dominate their class.

omg the Sea Furys~

Man, these people can fly a little bit. Watch Strega come in, at about 14:00. If that's not the most perfect smooth textbook landing you've ever seen... That, kiddies, is what it should look like, but almost never does.

How many mustangs are there still running? Seems a shame to rebuild them into something besides the original fighter configuration.

What is the music soundtrack?
