This Has To Be One Of The Most Exhilarating P-51 Mustang Videos Ever
It's amazing to think that the P-51D Mustang named “Quick Silver” was cobbled together from over 200 different Mustang parts and projects. It just looks too good sitting on the ramp. But no matter how good she looks sitting still, sitting on her horizontal stabilizer during extreme maneuvers, as seen in this awesome video, is simply a dream. Make sure to click “HD” to watch this video in all its detailed glory. (foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
WOWZERS!
Scooter Yoak and pilot of Quick Silver is my son's friend and fraternity brother. He has helped them at several airshows and he said that anytime a veteran wants to sit in the plane they are welcome to do so. They have also given rides to veteran P-51 pilots and my son said the looks on the veteran's faces when they return is priceless. The story on Quick Silver and Bill Yoak is worth the read.
The polished metal finish on the P - 51 looks tremendous against a backdrop of airfield and sky.
Impressive and professional.

Bill Yoak made all the sheet metal panels by hand.
A a viewer commented on the Foxtrot Alpha video page, the post war roundal and the 06Jun44 scheme are not just odd, but to me totally incorrect/oxymoronic. Why would a simply beautiful P-51D build culminate in an inaccurate application of scheme from two different eras? It tainted an otherwise fantastic presentation.
It's amazing how much thrust/power he gets from that slow moving rotating prop...!!! LOL
