Testing of the .50 Cal guns on P-51 Mustang Twilight Tear. This aircraft is owned by Ron and Diane Fagen, and can be seen at Fagen Fighters WWII Museum in Granite Falls, MN. She is flown regularly, and was a Grand Champion winner at Oshkosh in 2009.

Love it..!!! Next time have the engine cranked.....I always wondered why no one had re-armed some old warbirds.....would love to see a P-51 and a Spitfire strafing an old boat anchored safely out to sea. Would be amazing to film.

Great to see the old Mustang with TEETH that really bite. That must be very rare these days.

I often wondered how much the recoil affects the airframe, this video shows it clearly !

Hi, great video and nice plane! I have always been wondering, and I can't really tell from the video, do the 6 guns fire in parallel (rounds exits the barrel on all 6 at the same time) or are there any deliberate offset in the firing between the guns?
