"Red Tails courage has no color" by Lucasfilm is coming out in the theatres soon. This is a video I put together, with authentic original 16mm film of some real redtail P51 mustangs taxiing, flying, taking off etc. This footage has never been seen by the public before. The video is of real Red Tails mustangs taken in the day. Original 16mm than has been digitized, filmed in the 1940's, at Elmendorf Airforce base in Alaska. For you animal lovers there is a dog doing trick backflips at the base.
Yes I agree any Mustang in flight is better than no Mustang. I had the pleasure of seeing my first 2 Mustangs flanking a B-25 about a week and a half ago. They were formation flying about a mile NW of PHX International A/P. I stopped and watched, and was totally entertained.

Great video, and thanks for taking the time to digitize it, but - these are not the Red Tails. These are post-WW II Mustangs painted in the then-current Alaska Air National Guard high-visibility markings. Still - ANY Mustang video is a good video!

Neat vid John. To bad it couldn't have been longer...but i'm sure you made good use of what you had. And I'm curious to know where you got the stuff to put it together.?
Someday we'll watch the movie on DVD. Oh yeah, I saw that dog! Didn't he do 2 flips..kind of looked like it.
