P-51 Mustang's - EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019 - Tribute to Bud Anderson

[mikemarley]

We lived across the street from Hayward Municipal Airport and there were two P51 Mustangs that would take off all the time .I loved hearing them taxi and take off .Great sound and to watch them climb immediatly was something I never got tired of witnessing.

My dad also loved this airplane. He took me to see Bob Hoover fly his one afternoon in 1965. It was there he told me that if it weren’t for 4 of those airplanes one cold December ‘44 morning in the Ardennes forest, neither he or I would be standing there.
Getting a type-rating in one is on my bucket-list.
Gen. Anderson, I salute you sir!
When men like Bud took to the skies, Hitler had to do a recount…

A few years ago for my birthday, I took an unforgettable 45 minute ride in Gunfighter with the Red Tail Tuskegee flying in tight formation. I LOVE these birds!

I have never seen so many P51's. I am surprised and pleased that there are that many still flying! What a gathering!

I was there in 2001 at the 50th Airventure.
There were 19 Mustangs flying that year; including most of the planes in this video. Col. Chuck Yeager was there flying his own 51 Glamorous Glennis!
He took up a bunch of young eagles in the Ford Trimotor just before I went up in it and shook my hand and signed my Trimotor ticket after the flight!
A few minutes later he climbed in his Mustang and flew in formation with 18 other P 51 Mustangs..
What a sight it was to see him mount up and go.
RIP Colonel. Check your six and press on!

I remember that line of 19 Mustangs all doing their run-up together.
Pretty dang Awesome!
Have it all on video.
I went on every ride there was and had a blast!
Met Harrison Ford, Richard Bach, the owner of Target, the inventor of the Polaris flying boat and many others in my several visits there.

My dad talked about the P51 until the day he died. After the war he never flew again...but the P51 Mustang was in his heart and dreams. The P51 Mustang took his fear of dying away because he was invincible in that thing. He said it turned him into a killing machine from above.

My dad was a crew chief with the Flying Tigers 43-45. Most of the time they had the P47s then one day the P51s came in and 47s left. Then a week later just the opposite. He got to taxi 51 but didn’t have much time with it.
Before anyone says something. Yes the Tigers started out as the AVG (flying P40) but when the war started they became part of the 14th Air-force, still maintaining the Flying Tigers name.
My dad is currently 97 yrs young!!

The P51 Mustang was such a perfect beautiful aerial masterpiece. ❤

The P51 was the most beautiful and deadly fighter of WW2. As a pilot I'm madly in love with them. I've seen them in EAA conventions over the years, seen Chuck Yeager bounce out of his cockpit at 75. I was once lucky enough to walk by them with a camera, gleaming in the setting Sun.

3:04 for yall wondering why the landing gears on this mustang is smaller, its because its a P-51H, which was apart of a further development of the P-51D to make it lighter. Referred to as the "lightweight mustang".

The hours spent by the ground crews must be amazing - thank you guys !

[billhuber]

Dad was in love w/the p51. He called a bad ass machine.he never flew her but still loved her.

[walterheinen]

Watched Yeager and Anderson fly their prospective mustangs at Oshkosh, both in there 70s. It was amazing. Imagine how the pilots of those two mustangs feel knowing the original “owners” piloted their planes. Watched Bob Hover do his magic the same day. Oshkosh is a special place.

My uncle flew a P-51D mustang, he said it was a GREAT FIGHTER they started with DETROIT ALLISON ENGINES THEN WENT TO ROLLS ROYCE MERLIN ENGINE great power 1, 700 HP

[bluzcompany]

My all time favorite aircraft, definitely a thorough bred, nothing like the Mustang, beautiful...

[peabody]

I love that there were so many early model mustangs at the show.

[jamesorozco]
