@Jeppsson001 or a Packard built V12 version of the R/R merlin...either way they sound almost identical. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up and almost brings a tear to my eye.
this sounds nice but video just doesnt give the P-51 justice.
I live on martha's vineyard which has the biggest grass airfield in the country called katama. 3 pretty long strips.
There was an airbird show which had a C-47 as well. I digress. The 51 started up and WOW that sound... it took off and did a couple REAL low fly bys at like 400mph (i asked the pilot how fast he was going)... needed earplugs almost... it shakes the ground as it flys by. very impressive aircraft.
Depends on what motor they're running. A race mustang can get up to 480 or so. This is a stock motor and pushing it to get it over 400 wouldn't make it last very long.
Ahhhh... a sound that will forever be recorded in my memory... I miss hearing that. There's some rich guy at my school (Dowling College) that has one and once in a while you'll hear that engine wirring up and watching the P-51D gracefully lift into the air.
Hey, it was my little Canon Elph, hard to hold still. If you want to buy me a video camera for Christmas though, I'll do my best to get a nice still vid for ya. :D
HA suck on that russia

ya good point, hell of an aircraft tho, one of my favs.
texsource 3 years ago
actually with its merlin engine it could do 440 in level flight at full throttle and can go past 500 in a steep dive

They should have put the 2,400H.P. (With alcohol injection) American made Pratt & Whitney in the P-51! Can you imagine?
