I decided to go back to the Air Museum at Wiley Post to get some more pics and enjoy the atmosphere. To my surprise, the mechanic allowed me to climb inside the P-51D Mustang "Miss America". Let me tell you, there isn't a whole lot of room in a P-51. Now I know why they call it the "Spam Can" lol
Enjoy!

  • why does it have modern avionics ???

  • @vendeda01 Miss America is a Reno Racer, not a historical restoration. The wings are also shorter than an original P-51. They are the original wings, but the wing tips have been removed. The engine is also built as a high performance engine as compared to a stock Merlin.

  • Thanks!

  • @fbenenati I'm so freaking jelous man!!!!!! I fly the 1/4 RC version and just owning one now is bragging rights~!

    Congrats!!!!

  • On July 23, 1994, I had the incredible experience, serendipitously, of flying back seat in Miss A. I actually got stick time and got to roll her. My profound thanks to Dr. Brent Hisey for allowing me the privilege of taking the controls of this magnificent lady of the skies. At the time, I was a very low time pilot and this was the thrill of a lifetime.

  • very nice!!!

  • Awesome video ;)

    Fantastic looking cockpit. Beautifully restored.

    You're one lucky son of a gun being at the controls ...

    i feel lucky just getting a good look at them :)

  • The instrument panel is horrible!!!!

    Looks like a cessna.

  • very very nice plane....but the color?? i like red white and blue..dont get me wrong...

    but theres nothing like a polished P-51

  • I know you had to be loving that!! Great footage!
