Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Kermit Weeks uploaded some great GoPro "Kermie Cam" video of his one of a kind P-51C Mustang. Pretty cool pre-flight and flying video from pilot perspective. Parts 1 and 2 are pre-flight. Part 3 is in flight. Part 1... Part 2... Part 3... :FlagAm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 THANKS DB! Sure does give me an insite to what my Mom had to do when she flew 51's as a WASP. She always said the P-51 was her favorite aircraft to fly(P-38's were next), but it would kill you in a heartbeat. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Great stuff, Dusty. But what were those four holes in the leading edge of the wings? Air intakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Browning .50 cals So, they are not air intakes, they are lead outlets. really enjoyed watching. Thanks for posting. I am not much of a eagle, but I had never seen the inside of a P51 nor what took place to fly one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutter Carl Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Fantasy of Flight is next to Interstate 4 near Haines city, FL. About 35 minutes from me. I have had the opportunity to see the P-51 fly a few times. It is really neat to have it take off over your head as you drive down the interstate.

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks Dusty. It was a sad day when Weeks left Tamiami Airport back in the early 90's but Hurricane Andrew did mess up a lot of his planes. He still has a few in his old museum, I see them every time I have to go to the TMB tower, but all the cool stuff is gone. Last time I saw him flying was at an air show in Opa Lpcka airport and he was buzzing the airport in a British Mosquito! I believe that was I-4 he kept flying over. I go to the Tampa Bay area 'bout 3 - 4 times a year. I need to take the tour sometime It's nice to be able to afford all this....................... Thanks again.
