ONCE IN A LIFETIME! P-51D Mustang Ride Along! Pure audio from the cockpit, uncut full ride!

In a break from my usual DIY content, I had an opportunity (made possible by my wife!) to get a 20 minute ride along in a P-51. This was my first time filming with a GoPro MAX but there were no retakes! I only really regret not having a way to capture the headset audio.
Thanks to the men and women of the Commemorative Air Force that keep these birds in the air and available to the public!
And a special thanks to my wife who crowdfunded 2/3 of the cost (she knew I'd never go for 100%) of this ride along, and also everyone who gave generously:
- Doug & Angie Dyer
- Bruce and Karen Meyer
- Mike & Crissy Shade
- Luke & Samantha Spears
- Jake & Annie Bucksbaum
- Doug & Amber Meyer
- Dan & Shannon Smith
- Dan & Jill Meyer
- Matt & Missy Schmitz
- plus 6 more donors who wished to remain anonymous!

Found this via reddit, my grandpa flew 98 missions between May 44' - Dec 44 between a P47 and a P51D mustang, always dreamed of doing this. Beautiful vid!

Thank you! A friend told me to post it on Reddit. It was my first post lol. I appreciate the kind words and your grandpas service! I gained a whole new appreciation for what those men went through. It was really impressive what this aircraft could do.
I booked this ride through Air Power Tour / Commemorative Air Force.
