Interesting. . . .doesn't look much like a P-51 though. Did you notice that in the ground shots the backseater is wearing a headset and boom mic but in the aerials he's wearing a helmet and oxygen mask? Either he had it in his lap and put it on after they were airborne or the aerials were shot separately and spliced into the finished video.

Thanks for posting!:salute:

Nice plane, but although the 51 may have inspired it, that aint no 51..

I Thought I read somewhere that the Turbo Legend can outclimb a P-51. Might have better performance in other areas too, just can't rememeber. I've seen them in person down at Oshkosh. Very impressive machines. $$$$$$$

It's only 279-375K whats the big deal? lol They've got a few Avengers and a B-25 listed there too. I'd rather have one of those, but I'm sure the maintenance would cost alot more!

LOL. The most hated music I have in regards to anything aviation related. I can't count the times I have banged my head into my desk after hearing this song played on yet another FS related film.

I don't necessarily like the looks of the plane on tri-gear. But once it's tucked away the airframe looks good. I love the sounds of a turbo prop. When they get on step, the mixture of the turbine and the prop just sounds righteous! Nice paint schemes too!

Maybe a good candidate for LH

Ditto on the music. Not a good choice.

To me it looks like some dirty minded aircraft porn addict mated a P-51 with a Lancair.
