Gathering of Mustangs & Legends - Mustang Flight

[gunny556fly]

that was the first airshow i went to and its the best airshow anybody could go to.

[brutus082]

They were originally going to put 51 birds in the air rather then forming the number "51", but weather cancelled their practice. What a sight, and sound that would have been......i cant believe it had been two years since then

I was there for the air show and it will be with me for a lifetime. The sound of those merlins flying overhead brought chills to this fan.

Added joy were the F22, F16, B2 and too numerous to mention other aircraft as well.

It was something that I was looking forward to and I was not disappointed in any way.

WOW amazing event! P51's were great warbirds and still are! I'm honestly jealous you got to see all those flying together, a blast from the past. The sound of that many P51's isn't heard much unless your a veteran of WWII

[Thunderr10]

The sound of that aircraft gives me chills everytime I hear it...

[superrcpilot1]

i did not know there was not that many mustangs left in the world

[ad356]

P-51 is one of America's best plane that was ever made. I love it.

[besserwiser]

incredible!

[shaddowsword]

I have seen a picture of a P-51D with functioning guns. So I'm pretty sure theres a few out there, but only for demos and show.

[ad356]

AWESOME. I LOVE THE MIGHTY P51 MUSTANG

[tomcat2285]

i was also there it will be the best memory i will ever have

I get chills every time I hear the unmistakable roar of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine.

Can you tell the difference between the Packard Merlin and the RR Merlin?

You should be able to and these are Packard Merlins.

[bobcrunch]

I'm afraid you're a bigger Merlin fan than I am. I wasn't aware there was a difference in sound. I assumed that they were under license from Rolls Royce and identical. I'd like to hear them side-by-side. One time a Mustang flew over my house while I was cutting the grass and I could tell it was a Mustang before I looked up. I suppose it could have been a Spitfire and I couldn't have told the difference (except for the fact there aren't many flying Spitfires out there).

[IslandArchitect]

The Packard Merlin was supercharged... hence a whistle note in the mix.

[caseyboy1123]

[wildwattsy]
