It’s so wonderful that America is so protective of the history of aviation, and not only its own. Full respect to the people who care to keep the planes in excellent condition, and thanks to America.. My full respect you, guys and Big Sub and like. Keep doing your great job

The song has been changed to say "America Used to be The Beautiful". In 1972 I went to the Indy 500 Time Trials. As with the Reno Races, I could get "up close and personal". When it was Mario Andretti's turn for laps, I went down to the outside wall of the track between turn 1 and turn 2 to watch "the Andretti Line". I climbed onto the wall, inter-laced my fingers into the wire fence, and watched him come around. Mario would come down the main straight at over 200mph, stay low coming into turn 1, then drift out to the wall to set up entering turn 2. I was standing within 4 feet of his right rear wheel. His judgement of the drift was such that the inertia maintained his speed but in doing so, his right rear tire would come within one foot of the wall. It was astounding to watch ... and "nobody" came to tell me to get down from the wall. America has come so far "the wrong way". Today, there is an endless supply of millennials just poised to invoke their will on anyone doing anything. Personally ... I take every opportunity to piss them off, which is an easy and rewarding adventure. BTW ... that was the year Bobby Unser came within 3 mph of breaking the impossible 200mph average lap. We were all standing on our feet and screaming in support. I'm praying November 5th will provide Americans the opportunity to rejoin the greatness we once were.

This footage is great! Do you by chance have any other vintage footage of the Reno Air Races? Im making a documentary and book series on my Grandfather Tom Cassutt, Designer/Builder/Pilot of the original Cassutt 111 Special I Sport/Racer and Cassutt Special II N11U Racet. I'm also looking for footage from the 2000 Races when Formula 1 flew him out to Reno to honor him. Thank you very much!

Hey Mr. Announcer - the engine in the Mustang was a Rolls Royce Merlin, NOT the Allison which gave poor performance in the VERY early versions.

@richardgreen7811 2 жыл бұрын

The engine in the P51-A "was" the V-12 Allison. The plane was not accepted by the US due to lack of high-altitude performance but was sold to the British who were woefully depleted of fighters. It was the British who saved the P51 by (on their own) replacing the Allison with the Rolls-Griffon V-12. With that modification, and the ability of the British to produce the Rolls-Griffon for export to the US (subsequently for the US to produce the Rolls-Merlin on contract). Also, pull up the PIC of a P51-A, you will see it was a "razorback" configuration. It was the British who modified the Spitfire Canopy for use on the P51 (I saw one at the Olympia, WA airshow a few years ago, with no doubt it was a Spitfire Canopy). Once North American Aviation saw the reconfigured canopy, a redesign occurred to the P-51D with the canopy you see today. ALSO ... just for sport. The Corsair F4U was designed as a US Navy fighter, which had extraordinary performance and was air cooled. Unfortunately, freshly trained American pilots could not land the plane on carriers and piled up more in training accidents than in combat losses. Again, the plane was sold to the British who developed an approach pattern that allowed the pilot to see over the nose and safely land on carriers. With flight consultation by the British pilots, the Chance Vought F4U Corsair was again applied to US Carrier use (versus land-only use that it had been relegated to). The Corsair went on to become one of the great American Fighters of WWII. Major Greg Boyington, USMC (Cour d'Alene, Idaho) became a multi-ace in the plane in the South Pacific Theater.

Even the hydraulics on the inner doors mimic the real plane. They only close when the engine is running, and open when the engine shuts off.
