WWII P51 Mustang

My totally awesome husband flying a restored WW II P51 Mustang plane, doing a barrel roll. It's the only P51 Mustang in the world with still working dual cockpits. Sorry, no Chows in the video.

Description from hubby:
I have a video of my flight from Saturday. I finally managed to cut it down from one hour of mostly flying straight an level to the 6 minutes of really interesting stuff. Sophia uploaded the video to YouTube for me.

In the beginning of the video you see the end of me doing some steep turns to "get a feel of the plane". Then the instructor asks, "Alrighty, ready to see some aerobatics?". He does some barrel rolls, loops, and a 1/2 cuban or so, then at about 5:00 into the video he asks, "Would you like to try doing a roll?"

Absolutely :). He demonstrates one, then talks me though one of my own. (speed to 240kts, nose up 30 degrees, neutralize the elevator, then roll).

After that, we level out, climb back to 5,500 feet and head back to Moffett.
