FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

When strapping a GoPro to a P-51 there is almost a century difference in technologies. That's awesome.

[@travisparkinson3075]

ITs actually 60 years difference. Not quite comfortable with calling that "almost a century difference in technologies". But you can do that if you must.

[@travisparkinson3075]

@M H Doobs There's a few Tigermoths flying around my city for joyflights. Not a laughing matter. More of a feeling of nostalgia to a time I was never a part of.

@@KOxHARxMORNY 80 years from now. but the gopro has been around since 2002. You didnt invent it last week.

[@gtifighter]

are american years also measured in some retarded unit or do you suck at math? First P51 mustang built: 1942 First GoPro built: 2004 difference: 2004-1942 = 62. thats what you call a century? Do you americans know what century means? Century means 100 years, comes from the latin word "centum" 38 years off is an "almost" to you? it's actually far closer to half a century (50 years) than to a full century.

[@wholelottamiata6976]

Travis Parkinson something to consider is the current model GoPro is not the same technology as the 2002 GoPro. The hero 7 has advanced camera stabilization technology, better audio, better resolution, better battery, slow motion, better memory, etc. in 2002 the current GoPro wasn’t able to be built. Really if you want to say the 2002 GoPro is the same technology as a hero 7 than that would be like saying the wright flyer is the same technology as a p51. Yea they’re both planes but new designs and materials have been used to improve upon previous models of airplanes. Either way it’s cool to see modern technology on an early 1900’s aircraft

[@scottboyer8450]

Watching that in cockpit camera footage, I can't help but imagine what it was like to be a 21 year old 2nd lieutenant taking that mustang into combat.

I grew up at the Reno Air Races. Every year from age 12 to 23, in the 80's and 90's. I got to be right in the thick of it in the pits, because my step dad had a plane and hanger at Stead. It was an amazing time in my life, and it will always be in my blood. I haven't been in over a decade, but miss it and my favorite plane and pilot, Lefty Gardner in Race 13, that beautiful P-38 "White" lightning.

[@jacobhill3302]

That father son hug was a man moment.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Love all the camera angles! I also found it interesting that these teams aren't using cameras / video to watch back and improve their racing.

[@tissuepaper9962]

Especially interesting considering that sports teams (including motorsports) have been recording themselves and debriefing using those recordings for decades.

[@jeffchilds8050]

There is just something singularly beautiful about the P-51D.

[@Swoop180]

In my opinion it's still the sexiest aircraft ever made, and the sound!

[@jeffchilds8050]

@Phil McCrevice Not sure about the Stuka, but I agree that some other planes had their own appeal including the P-38, Typhoon, Mosquito.

[@invertedv12powerhouse77]

[@phillipstarnes8234]

I've watched videos about Reno until I'm blue in the face, but until I've watched this, I didn't know how crazy intense it is. Something about the part where he was getting passed by the other mustang that was lower was just insane. Kudos to all the pilots and great video.

[@MagravatorMag]

Thank you so much! I started going to the races in 84 but I left Reno in 2000. I miss it so much! I love hearing them fly over in the background. That's why they sell CD's of just the sound at the booths. There's really nothing like it and I'm thrilled to see the interest from the pilots. I hope the cash prizes makes it worth coming because I know people from all over the world love watching them race.

i remember in nascar a few years ago they strapped all the cars with cameras and gave everyone a live feed to their favorite driver. They stopped it doing that halfway through the race because it was so clear and obvious everyone was driving a little dirty.

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

@@Dante_S550_Turbo I mean, a little contact in NASCAR doesn't equal certain death, so it makes sense you'd see some aggressive tactics. If there was *zero* danger due to contact, there would be nothing but "dirty driving", but I doubt they'd call it that anymore ...

This is absolutely brilliant. I have seen some Reno footage, but this is really among the best, just awesome to have so many onboard camera angles! Thanks a lot! I think Dreadnought's doesn't *really* have two engines, its engine is *like* two normal (14 cylinder) sea fury engines, but the 28-cylinder R-4360 was built by Pratt&Whitney as a single engine (for the B-36 mostly). I didn't know it had four magnetoes. Interesting. It's a beast anyway :)

[@cageordie]

At the risk of being a sycophant, I love the name Rare Bear. There was a Bearcat on loan to the IWM at Duxford. Somehow it ended up in the layby at the Black Cat roundabout on the A1 in Bedfordshire and I passed it on my way to work. I pulled in to have a closer look and there was just the driver, sitting in his cab. I had held my friends tools while he serviced a Hurricane at Duxford. I was amazed how huge the Bearcat was in comparison. It was an odd privilege to encounter one 'in the wild', just sitting on the side of the road. How I wish modern cell phone cameras had been available back in the early 90s.

I like watching the old film of the Cleveland Air races and the Thompson Trophy race. It looked like there was closed to a hundred thousand people there for the races, there was just an excitement all through the 30s about the advancement that were happening so fast, the Geebee was such a crazy plane. My dad bought the Stearman named Checkers and owned and flown at shows all over the country including the Cleveland Air Races, Sammy Mason owned and flew it at the time and it had a rocket assist on it at the time in addition to the P&W 450. It makes me sick that it was sold before I came along.
