First-person POV of P-51 startup, takeoff, flight, and landing.

How cool is this?

That soundtrack was awesome!! Could you imagine? I liked the mild climb of 4000 fpm the ROC was indicating shortly after takeoff. And over the numbers on landing was faster than my VNE. HA. I will have to show that to my grandpa. He has a few hundred hrs in the 51-D. Great find!!

I like that he did a three point. Don't see P-51s do that very often.

Fantastic. I liked his check style, very methodical.

Grass helps

I was still messing around with my cameras when I did this, but I was tempted to do something similar again with a patch cord to the audio and the whole flight edited (kinda like Jeff Ethell used to do with the Roaring Glory Warbirds):

I'm going to have to watch it a couple of more times. I had a ball just watching you work the rudder pedals on taxi and takeoff.
