P-51 Mustang Startup /Propwash Aint' Misbehavin'

I took this video from 50' away at the Festival of Flight Air show in Fairhope Alabama. It was recorded with a regular digital camera, so the audio is of less quality than I would have hoped. But cool just the same. It's not every day you're lucky enough to see a genuine Mustang startup. Much less from this close! Enjoy

Well, I'm happy to hear at least one of us had the chance to ride in a Mustang! It's always been a dream of mine. Until that time comes, there's always Combat Flight Sim. LOL In May they're having the N'awlins Airshow at the Belle Chasse NAS. I'm hoping to get some decent video there.

I flew in the B-17 Nine-O-Nine that is owned by Collings Foundation on the Wings Of Freedom tour this year. Amazing ride...

I bet it was an awesome experience. I'm jealous! I was at the New Orleans Air show yesterday. Didn't have a chance to review my videos yet. If they're decent I'll post them. That F-22 was something to see, as was Crazy Horse 2.  Thanks for the comment.

Awesome Video! Just finished reading a book on the Bluenosers. The pilot of the original Moonbeam McSwine was from right here in good old Louisiana. Thanks for the comment.

This plane is sitting in our paint hangar. As we are stripping it in preparation for the new paint job, we are seeing that the ailerons and possibly some of the other control surfaces appear to be made out of magnesium or something other than aluminum. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance.
