Am I right in thinking that the Carthorsemen didn't use music on the Saturday? Pretty sure they didn't. Yet on the Sunday there it was, music to brighten up their act.
Why does a Frenchman commentate on a British airshow? Why was he allowed to get away with saying that you have to fly a plane like making love to it, over the mike?
As for the Carthorsemen, they were just that: lame. I've seen British pilots fly P-51's in a boring trio just as well.
mr big firebird,how can you critize the horsemen, we were there and they are brilliant,graceful,skillful,the music went very well with the flight,you can hear the merlins as well,thoughbreds just brilliant.
I don't know how many other displays of P-51's in formation you've seen over the years but compared to those I've seen from British pilots this was lame. I was lookng forward to something special from the Carthorsemen, like showing just what a P-51 was capable of. Instead we got the kind of slow precision flying you can get from any number of planes. The music shouldn't have been necessary - but in their case it was.
Sucks they wont be at Flying Legends this year, I was looking forward to them but if i see Sally and the BBMF ill be happy

The French guy is always their at Legends. Why can't they have Sean Maffet instead he is a real know it all and sounds a lot better :P

I like the horsemen routine, but it would have been better If they'd brought in their own planes...
Second to the French guy (who tried to make everything sound very sexual, like "many pilots were still virgins" and "the sexiest plane ever built")
The absense of TFC was dissapointed, but I believed they had thier reasons.

I agree with all the comments, the p-51 doesn't need music or strange French commentary, the sound of that gorgeous engine is all you need.

from about 7:11 to 8:00 was breathtaking
sums up what it was like to see it in PERSON not on camera although this is the closest to it
brilliant footage but it was more impressive from where i was sitting, in front of you in the pilots tent :) i noticed you were there too
