You know you love your job when you smile the whole time you're talking.

[@mustangmikep51]

Thats "Mad dog"...he's the coolest instructor at Stallion 51....I've been there MANY times over the years cheers, Mikestang.

[@beagle7622]

My dad would have loved this. He flew both the MKIII ( P51C ) & MK IV (P51D) for the RAF. He loved flying this aircraft.

[@DrJohn493]

The advice on trim is absolutely spot on. Learned this on my 2 hours in Crazy Horse. But imagining being the pilot in the cockpit of the P-51 during WWII, it is hard to comprehend how a 22-YO pilot could manage the stick, all of the trim, the throttle and the prop while others are shooting at you, or you shooting at them, could juggle it all and live to tell the tale.

[@fredsalfa]

My dad flew P51D Mustangs against the Japanese in WW2. He would have known all these manoeuvres when he was 21 years old. I remember doing aerobatics in a cessnas in the 70s and 80s with him and he looked like he had done this many times before !

[@lsx001]

really cool you merged instructor's briefing with what you did afterwards in the air.

[@peteruppert]

oh thank you very much! yapp, it was a great experience..

[@Gadget0343]

I have flown with this crew. Flying the Crazy Horse is a FANTASTIC experience! Anyone thinking about it or have always wish they could fly a Mustang really should do this.

[@peteruppert]

truu!

[@jonthepilot6924]

It's on my bucket list for sure. Too bad I don't have any taildragger experience at all. I plan on training with these guys within the next handful of years. I hope they're still around by then!

[@paternotaboada4037]

[@donaldturner5124]

This aircraft (as seen in the video) appears as adept in the air as a dolphin in the sea. It literally looks like it was born to ride the skies and play around clouds. What a beautiful air machine! Thank you for the taking the time to make and upload the video!

[@peteruppert]

thanx for your nice and inspiring comment, bro! have a great weekend, GOD bless you!

[@eldenjr]

This is my ultimate dream. I'll be knocking on their door to do this in a couple years. I'll be checking a website or something to lead me there.

[@peterschannel6252]

Fantastic movie with great session! Being a Steve student is my dream now :) Amount of information, understanding of plane and mentoring level - ohhhh.... just great! Thx for sharing

[@peteruppert]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mustangmikep51]

I know Steve..a great guy..way cool is right/ MustangMike.

[@peterlethbridge7859]

I had the pleasure to fly with him in the P51, an extremely relaxed and patient man, exactly what you need when trying absorb so much information. Great guy

[@HiVoltish]

Did this back in 2010. People were fantastic and it was the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

[@flyingdutchman4you]

Excellent, very informative!

[@jeremyhowes2399]

Who could watch that and not be inspired to fly one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made. The enthusiastic instruction, with juxtapose flight filming and superb editing, made this a must watch. Thank you for sharing. From Norfolk, England. Home of the Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney.

[@peteruppert]

Thanx Jeremy, very encouraging comment bro!

[@crooked-halo]

I am currently saving money for a trip to Florida and Stallion 51! I will be contacting them within the next few months! I'm interested in a full checkout to solo standards. I'm a commercially certificated, instrument rated pilot with tailwheel time in a Citabria and C-152 & 172 taildragger. What an awesome video! Makes me cry! P-51 is my favorite plane & my dream is to fly one. That dream will be fulfilled later this year or early 2024.

[@gogogeedus]

Very interesting, thanx for sharing!

[@Calaghi]

Amazing video Pete, pretty jealeous right now!

[@jokotolobak7052]

That's not bad. Thanks to Steve for his calm and patience. Even me understand.

[@devanklein3292]

Baligya kuno ni

[@mustangmikep51]

hes light hearted and relaxed..but safe and responsible at the same time....good fighter pilot characteristics!

[@marcusdenning1649]

Can u imagine being a 21 yr old kid flying this thing every day going in and out of combat?

[@the7tongardengnome]

Be great if they had that extra tab like the Corsair. Apparently it's like power steering.

[@tonykeith76]

It's a bit different from the CAP 10 that I flew in the past :-D But with the DCS Flight Simulator's Mustang, ( the best ), I can recognize many things I'm hearing now.. What a pity there are not subtitles... Thank you very much for the video

[@nate5388]

Pete, I've enjoyed these videos over the last few years. Just noticed the Jesus tattoo on your arm during the final turn to landing portion of the video. King of Kings, Lord of Lords! God Bless you.

[@peteruppert]

GOD bless you more, brother! Jesus is LORD indeed!!

[@wiso2759]

We all learning....thanks for sharing...capt

[@peteruppert]

always welcome bro!

[@karlmadsen3179]

That looks like an extreme amount of really good time. What a beautiful airplane. Nice.

[@peteruppert]

thanks, Karl!

[@XBJAJ]

Great!!!!!!!

[@peteruppert]

thx bro!!!

[@Mike-01234]

Could you imagine going directly into a single seat P-51 mustang without any duel instruction in it that's what they did in WW2. Even single seat fighters today have a trainer version. Those guys back then were amazon pilots to navigate though all weather over to Germany and back.

[@peteruppert]

yes amazing isn't it.. they did a great job, they also lost a lot..!

[@greenlightning6971]

After hearing this....i imagine those guys from WWII chasing 109's ,190's and 262's....how did they fly this magnificent plane with just 18,19,20 years of age?? My God ,there is the reason why they were called the greatest generation. All of them. God bless them and may they rest in peace. Ty for the video

[@peteruppert]

do not underestimate the german fighter planes..!

[@gregoryhaitower9389]

with flaps lowered doesnt it push the nose up? very nice video by the way can someone please answer my question

[@lancecullinane2121]

Use both feet for the breaks same time dont over throttle untill air speed is reached or you will be arm resseling the stick or set trim. Dont need to use tail rutter if you dont go to crazy! Remember full throttle could flip her over!

[@russg1801]

How to fly the P-51 Mustang. Step 1: Write check for $2,000,000! Step 2: Write another check for $1,000,000 to cover full reconditioning of Merlin engine, reduction gear, propeller, hydraulics, and airframe. Step 3: Fly for 200 hours. Step 4: Repeat Step 2! No, it's not quite THAT bad, but if can't cover Steps 1 and 2, well, Forgeh 'bout it!

Whatever happenjed to the landing gear down green light? How could you trust the light was not working and the gear was out and locked?

[@michaelnaisbitt1639]

I don’t care which plane was better the P 51. the P 47 or the F4U. Just as long as each year more are restored to flying condition. There can never be too many of these aircraft

[@peteruppert]

what about the german planes.. they rebuilt he Me 262 in America.. this plane really rocks..! these american fighters - no chance.. even the late Focke Wulf 190D long nose.. check it out ort the Focke Wulf Ta 152 - google it bro!

[@HeliRy]

@@peteruppert Sweet, one more bucket list item added! Did the Air Combat USA thing years ago in Seattle… it was awesome 🤘🤘

[@ronfillmore281]

I have over 22,000 flight hours. My greatest regret is I never fly the Mustang.

[@peteruppert]

oh boyyy! u gotta do!!

[@ronfillmore281]

My eyes won't let me pass the medical anymore.

[@peteruppert]

oh boyyy thats sad though - but fly with an instructor, still alot od fun!

[@mustangmikep51]

My 1st flight in a propeller aircraft was a P51 Mustang called "Glamorous Jen" (named after his daughter Jennifer) we did EVERYTHING you can do in a P51, pulling 5 G's positive and around 3 G's negative....loops ,rolls,cuban 8's etc...gave the guy only 300 bucks for gas! at the end of the flight we came out of dive over his grass airfield at 400 m.p.h. about 30 ft. agl...I'll never forget THAT flight...needless to say, every thing I flew in afterwards was "downhill" from that experience...now this same aircraft is called "Glamorous Gal" and lives at the American Airpower Museum up in Long Island N.Y. cheers. Mustangmike.

[@maguilla]

Can you post the number? I like to visit this place in June

[@peteruppert]

google stallion 51 in florida kissimee near orlando

[@SPANKA.]

Any idea where this school is located?

[@peteruppert]

Kissimmee FL

[@eksemos]

Can you fly a split-S in this plane?

[@peteruppert]

as long as you keep it in positive G - yes you can

[@dishdoggiegaming7254]

I understand I am no Pilot. I am so frustrated as a Fan of the P-51 My Frustration is with being totally ignorant in aviation and having the ability to fly a P-51 in a Simulator known as DCS World. This is where I will apologize to you for even being here and asking the question I have. 1st. I fly it in a dog fight and in a climb or in a turn If I bleed off my speed and hit 200mph the left wing drops and it wingover and I loose all control. Is this a real Life condition in a P-51 it's like you can not pull more the a 2g turn or climb. When in between 2 and 4g's your going to wingover and I find this to be so frustrating. I feel bad about asking this question here for a game problem but this is as close to flying as I will ever get in a P-51 and in VR I am so in love with it. If you find a reason to answer this Thank You so much. Please Forgive me for asking.

[@peteruppert]

of course you can pull more than 2g in a P51, bro!

[@dwightk.schruteiii8454]

He said Orlando. Is this a school? Where is this training?

[@peteruppert]

close to orlando, google Stallion 51!

[@pirateatfourty]

ours has been in our family since 1947 my dad bought it off the docks in oakland calif in several crates. was not assembled till 1970is not hard to fly. people over explain that plane. yes heavy on the controls but no flight suit needed.i learned over the years to have spare parts. like canopys and engines and various styles of props keep it hidden do not go to airshows too many experts there, lol i wear shorts and tank tops when flying it. very hot in the summer to fly. you over explain it. if ihad someone talk as much as you do? lol id flip herupside down open the canopy hit the seatbelt release and out ya go.people overthink that plane. it was designed for 18 yr old pilots to fly. im 70 now have over 4500 hrs in that plane. i never think about it when i fly it stop overthinking that plane. why i never hangout with the experts. but i also fly off my own private strip. private hanger here in washington state.

[@omargillespie9209]

I’ll stick to DCS hahahahaha

[@vernonslone8627]

Back when these were new they were flown by a bunch of 19 and 20 year olds getting shot at...Now it is a toy then it was a weapon of war...

[@peteruppert]

true man!

[@kurtbennett1164]

Man, it just doesn't seem that hard in Warthunder. Hmm.

[@peteruppert]

hehe yeah right man..!

[@craighatzi6559]

Didn't know trim??To much BS

[@peteruppert]

trimming all the time bro

[@aflyertwo]

Most GA flyers can do without the rudder trim until you get into a twin or very heavy single. The aileron trim has about the same issues. Older vintage aircraft needed aileron trim more so if the fuel selector only fed off one side. The constant heavy wing becomes an issue and is fatiguing changing tanks ever 30/45 minuets.
