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
-
Its an original piece composed specially for them. If you want to see/hear more check out ASB . TV

Give these guys credit where its due, that was some beautiful flying. Smooth as a babys butt.

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.

mr big firebird,how can you critize the horsemen, we were there and they are brilliant,graceful,skillful,th
e music went very well with the flight,you can hear the merlins as well,thoughbreds just brilliant. -
could anyone tell me the music that the horsemen play during a demo?
response is much appreciated!

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
-
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.
-
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.

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.
