The P 51 produced 1695 horse power and topped out at 437 mph at 25 thousand feet. Amazing plane for it's time...

The sweetest sound in aviation, a Merlin at full throttle!

The V12, the most righteous of all engine notes.

my grandfather was a master sergeant in the air force for 40 years serving wwii, Korean War and Vietnam. He was a master mechanic, I have pictures of him rebuilding Rolls-Royce merlin engines. He said his favorite plane was the p51 .

Got a ride in one at an air show. Buzzed the field at 300 mph which is well below its top speed but man was it FAST! Sitting in an airliner you wouldn't feel it but in that little thing it as amazing! The P-51 saved a lot of airman's lives over Europe at the end of WWII flying cover for B-17s bombing missions over Germany!
