when the exhaust on a plane with that high of horsepower flames out like it did 2 or 3 times in this video you have to keep cranking the engine over. If you ever watch the reno air races the exhaust on those planes almost always flame out and they keep the motor turning until it starts. believe me i am not arm chair expert. the flames are caused from a shit load of unburnt fuel in the cylinders and if you stop turning it over you could get an explosion in the wrong cylinder and blow up the motor

I guess if you live long enough you get to see just about anything. I'm sure the GERMAN people appreciate having an AMERICAN fighter with German 'Kills' iron crosses plastered all over it at a GERMAN air show. I'm not sure which is worse...,the utter stupidity or the utter insult?
@19Truth53 Owner of this plane is a french guy,and its forbidden to show swastikas in Germany.After 70 years the Germans will be able to deal well with this theme.
@19Truth53 the dumbass is the person who is overly sensitive to something I am sure the GERMAN people don't care about. Period correct markings on a plane that shot down GERMAN fighters. Should the USA outlaw any japanese zeros from airshows too?
You speak for the German people, do you? I think I'd be "sensitive" to a display of something a nation used to destroy my nation. In fact, I don't think I'd ever forget - or let my people forget - who did this. See, I was born with a SET OF BALLS instead of a VAGINA, so I'm sure I'd be plotting some PAY BACK at some point. However, watching the U.S. get its ass stomped by mountain fighters in Afghanistan right now while the U.S. economy goes down in flames is pretty entertaining in itsefl.
@19Truth53 NON! Germans understand this in a far less ignominious way, but are still pretty sure they would just rather not like to begin down the slippery road to open swastika fetishising. If the planes were in a German movie production sure, even uniforms etc, just not in everyday context in society, never again means a lot in Germany.
@mustangjunkie1 why use an old plane with a prop that can only hit 200-600 miles per hour when you can use a supersonic jet... dont get me wrong these planes are ICONS DUDE!
@MrJp990 i just feel that there was more skill involved when dogfighting in the old war birds compared to modern day planes. now you can get a lock and fire a heat-seeking missle instead of having to battle the other pilot to get on his tail.
You've never spent a day in any kind of conflict, have you? Killing another human being isn't a fucking sport, and neither is getting killed. Technology advances to make sure you have the upper hand in an engagement with an enemy combatant. War doesn't exist as a test of skill, it is those that are skilled that have a better chance of surviving the war.
There's enough tasty beef and pork out there to grill for any special occasion, folks...No need to grill this old horse for the sake of some aviation fans!!!
LOL @ this insanity - If this is a proper air show, where is the air boss and why is his field full of retarded bystanders and mad dwarves on minibikes? Phail.
I don't consider it a proper show where you are trapped behind ropes, 200 feet from any aircraft, with a long-winded air show announcer and music blaring in your ears while 5 aircraft are starting all at once including loud jets. Just maybe I would like to hear just what a Merlin engine sounds like on the ground and in the air without any other sounds. As long as there are a few ground workers to keep the idiots away from the whirly things, an informal air show is just fine.
@FiveCentsPlease point taken - but still there are specific rules governing public air shows for a reason - The FAA and ICAS have implemented regulations that have prevented spectator fatalities at air shows in North America since the early sixties.
The horrifying incidents at Ramstein in 1988 and in Ukraine in 2002 are proof positive that bad things can happen with poor or lax planning. The Sukhoi that crashed into the crowd in Ukraine killed 85 people, including 24 young children.
Is this the original Nooky Booky IV? Bob Hoover was, I believe the first civillian owner of this aircraft after it was retired from service. It was originally with the RCAF, however; I gather there are several flying with her original paint scheme. She has been restored at least twice as the aircraft suffered a hard landing and subsequent damage some years ago and was later damaged again when 02 bottles exploded at Reno, I believe.
Maj. Kit Carson's plane wasn't a 2 seater, and the plane is in the U.S. So, I doubt this is an original. If it IS the real, I feel sad that they modified the plane.
I love all the arm chair experts here. They're only experience with a plane is you tube but they know all about it. The Merlin could be a little touchy about starting cold. It is easy to flood them. Close the fuel valve and roll her over a few times to clear it and begin again, just as the pilot did. The Allison, in the P-40 behaved much the same way. 90% of those offering opinions couldn't fine the master fuel control let alone start one of these planes. More to it than turning a key.
fb you ediot i own a p51 stupid and that engien is over flowing with fuel you know nothing about aviation and even i know that is bad that means he left the fuel valve open and a b17 i know how to fly that to
only thing that should remain on the ground is your "cack" so you can not breed. Damn Puss! Things do happen, so what, kinda like YOU crossing the street next week, an acident could happen! We hope! Combat heros.. lol.. no wonder the Pussies have taken over elected positions. They are taught to be pussies. Collectivist fools. Call for back up, in a fire fire, lol... damn, I need a drink!
first rule of PPL ground school, "engine fire on start-up, 'mixtures idle, throttles fully open, continue cranking" haha, i guess this guy is ol school and just starts the bastard anyway.
@davida41200 Ha that is right,but you certainly ment "mixture:cut off",and this will only apply if you have BACKFIRE,that means fire in the inlet manifold and/or carburettor. This way,by cranking the engine with the mixture cut off (close the fuel selector please) you suck the fire into the engine and it goes away trough the exhaust.
A P51 isn't a very technologically advanced engine,as in today's top of the bill aircrafts...but it will kick ass!!!!
Over primed with fuel, which is not all that uncommon with a cold start, or a hot start that is overprimed. The solution is to keep the prop turning and retard the throttle, so that the fire is sucked back into the engine. Then, wait a little bit and attempt restart. Very common with these Merlin engines, if you have been around Mustangs a lot, you will occasionally see this.
@fbenenati you are 100% right. Wow it is hard to find anyone who knows about these old planes. I study them but have only flown in B-17's (as a spectator). Nice to see other people interested in this stuff.
@fbenenati Keeping the starter going, opening the throttle and shutting off the fuel is for intake manifold fires. In a word, backfires. The in-cowl fire that would result from a normal prime backfire would be substantial, whereas with an overprime situation, a backfire would be dire indeed.
@fbenenati The fire isn't sucked back into the engine from the exhaust as it would be with a fire in the intake (which may have been happening as well). In this case closing the throttle and better yet the fuel shut off and blowing the fire out would be the correct answer.

Too bad your brain isn't fully developed. These planes crash enough to cause concern. They are INVALUABLE and IRREPLACEABLE pieces of history/art that should remain purely on the ground (at whatever capacity). Sending one piroutteing nose first into the ground at 400 mph is a crime. Douchebags like yourself will be lucky to evolve enough to realize this simple concept.
@Tata996 I agree with you, they are pieces of our history and they deserve to be saved... That's exactly what your "dumb bunnies" are doing! Without them most of the remainings warbirds would have been turned into cans yearsago. Keep these planes stuck to the ground? That's insane, It would be the real crime! They've been designed to fly, there place is in the skynot on the ground. You would understand if you were pilot.
@Tata996 Oh Really? Is that in the hands of a novice pilot or some one who knows how to fly and not get killed? think about it. a good chunk of USAF and RAF WWII Birds are still in the air, take of exsample, the DC-3. Half of the time the only reson thoes planes came down and did a "nose dive" is when they got shot! a nice and well maintaned air craft will work for genarations. and think about. Your "dumb bunies" are the reson why thes amzeing pices of work are still flying
The Mustang'll fool ya, it's a small plane. I once asked a Mustang pilot if his was a Mini-Mustang because it didn't look "right" and he haughtily said back "It has 1,600 horses, what do YOU think?!?" I said "Cleared for takeoff." :-)
Both will most likely be repaired eventually and will fly again. Because of the popularity of the Mustang, many structural parts can be made new for repairs. Engines parts are a problem since the supply is drying up without new parts being made.
The flames are completely normal for a Mustang on start up if it's flooded. One of our customers had his at the hangar the other day and when he went to leave it did the exact same thing as this one on start up.
no, they dont lose anyback pressure, they were equipped with very strong exhaust valve springs to close the valves instead of back pressure to assist in the closings, also the merlins turbo-chargers create some minor disturbance in exhaust flow creating a make-shift back pressure force
The Rolls Royce Merlin never had a turbo charger, it had a super charger run off the rear of the crankshaft. Positive pressure in the exhaust will not help the valve close but tend to hinder it if anything.
the reason why the exhaust on the mustang was so short, was to probably increase engine power, the less exhaust you have on the engine, the easier the exhaust spent gasses leave the engine, since there is less resistance on the engine, it creates more horsepower, the short exhaust once again is why when you over prime, you will see flame, the exhaust like you said was no more than 6 inches long., once agan exuse me for any spelling errors, i do not have spell check.
They actually had a contained exhaust system at one time but it required cowl modifications which in turn slowed the aircraft down. The short stack config allows for more top end power due to short pulse scavenging effect.
Oh and this is Youtube, only jerks criticize spelling. ;-]
I would take issue that only jerks criticize incorrect spelling. Nothing wrong with criticizing what is incorrect. Incorrect spelling is what it is: incorrect. No less correctable than incorrect facts, IMHO.
the aircraft isnt on fire he is just got such a rich fuel mix in that engine that fuel vapors are coming out the short exaust pipes in flames, the exaust on those engines arent that long, dont prime it so much.
Oh look, it's captain over prime!! You'd think someone entrusted with flying something as rare and valuable as a mustang would bea able to start it without flooding the thing with fuel. And to put my say into the debate, i'd say it's a "D" variant.
correct, "combat hardend version of the mustang, the P51D variant was equiped with 6 wing mounted browning .50 caliber machine guns instead of 4, and a bubble canopy as you can see vary clearly instead of the canopy that blended with the fusologe, the engine in the d varint was also supercharged, it also had a faster clime rate than the B or C variants! sorry if i miss spelled anything
Amazing !! Just Amazing !! BTW I wonder if the owners of these P-51s (or any war-birds) are allowed to have the functioning 50 cal guns in the wings!! Can they?? or do they ???
whats with the shitty quality and even better, whats with the whole 'end video' as soon as it finally fires?

By the way: Enzo Ferrari choose his logo from the WWI - airplane of a popular italian fighterpilot (similar to the "red baron")

Ferrari's prancing horse was from Francesco Baracca's airplane BUT Baracca was not nearly as successful as Manfred von Richthofen.
Baracca and Ferrari both lived in Modena - horse connection. But, you are correct the horses were on airplanes before they were on cars.

The Mustang'll fool ya, it's a small plane. I once asked a Mustang pilot if his was a Mini-Mustang because it didn't look "right" and he haughtily said back "It has 1,600 horses, what do YOU think?!?" I said "Cleared for takeoff." :-)

what ever happened to the two mustangs that crashed at oshkosh a lil wile back
zjwflippers 2 years ago
Both will most likely be repaired eventually and will fly again. Because of the popularity of the Mustang, many structural parts can be made new for repairs. Engines parts are a problem since the supply is drying up without new parts being made.

The flames are completely normal for a Mustang on start up if it's flooded. One of our customers had his at the hangar the other day and when he went to leave it did the exact same thing as this one on start up.

watching a merlin running on a bench you can see the exhausts are only about 6 inches long do they lose/gain power with no backpressures?
agentolshki 2 years ago
no, they dont lose anyback pressure, they were equipped with very strong exhaust valve springs to close the valves instead of back pressure to assist in the closings, also the merlins turbo-chargers create some minor disturbance in exhaust flow creating a make-shift back pressure force
bobdiley 2 years ago
The Rolls Royce Merlin never had a turbo charger, it had a super charger run off the rear of the crankshaft. Positive pressure in the exhaust will not help the valve close but tend to hinder it if anything.
Biggerbadwolf 2 years ago
Gear drive supercharger.
wavefool 2 years ago
this is to agentolshki
the reason why the exhaust on the mustang was so short, was to probably increase engine power, the less exhaust you have on the engine, the easier the exhaust spent gasses leave the engine, since there is less resistance on the engine, it creates more horsepower, the short exhaust once again is why when you over prime, you will see flame, the exhaust like you said was no more than 6 inches long., once agan exuse me for any spelling errors, i do not have spell check.
angryace13 2 years ago
They actually had a contained exhaust system at one time but it required cowl modifications which in turn slowed the aircraft down. The short stack config allows for more top end power due to short pulse scavenging effect.
Oh and this is Youtube, only jerks criticize spelling. ;-]
wavefool 2 years ago 2
aint that the truth...
angryace13 2 years ago
I would take issue that only jerks criticize incorrect spelling. Nothing wrong with criticizing what is incorrect. Incorrect spelling is what it is: incorrect. No less correctable than incorrect facts, IMHO.

Jesus can you prime it anymore?!?!
chubsmagoo 2 years ago 2
the aircraft isnt on fire he is just got such a rich fuel mix in that engine that fuel vapors are coming out the short exaust pipes in flames, the exaust on those engines arent that long, dont prime it so much.
angryace13 3 years ago 8
i agree
deplepfan 3 years ago
Oh look, it's captain over prime!! You'd think someone entrusted with flying something as rare and valuable as a mustang would bea able to start it without flooding the thing with fuel. And to put my say into the debate, i'd say it's a "D" variant.
shortyman687 3 years ago 2
correct, "combat hardend version of the mustang, the P51D variant was equiped with 6 wing mounted browning .50 caliber machine guns instead of 4, and a bubble canopy as you can see vary clearly instead of the canopy that blended with the fusologe, the engine in the d varint was also supercharged, it also had a faster clime rate than the B or C variants! sorry if i miss spelled anything
