Horsemen Cometh

[Whiz Wheel]

Just watched a wonderful documentary on the Horsemen, the U.S. 3-ship P-51 acro. team. It aired this evening on the local public television channel. A good part was shot at Duxford. Here is a link to what I could find on YouTube that at least showed the Duxford segment. The documentary was very moving. Great stuff!!

The flying was simply superb - precision displays of superb skill...

I'm not sure who owns that Channel on YouTube, and it's sometimes difficult to know who owns the copyright on these things - e.g. was it ripped from the TV, or a DVD, etc., so please consider buying the whole thing on DVD / Bluray!

Good to see "Max" Moga on this clip. We were F-15C instructors together from 2000-2002. Great guy who went on to be the F-22 demo pilot. I believe he is a squadron commander in Alaska now. He must be doing this on the side. What a life! Anyone know where I can pick up an inexpensive P-51 and a lifetime supply of fuel?

[Noodlefish]

Steve H, some actors and P-51...

Just got word from POF that the Horseman will be flying/performing at the Chino Airshow this year, minus Moga but with the addition of... wait for it... a P-38! Should be very cool.

[Noodlefish]

Saw a P-38 at Duxford last summer - a beautiful shiny Red Bull - which put on a fantastic display...
