Is there a"fakeJimmy'sWorld" ?

[@chriscook4782]

I have to say I'm always ready for your videos it really makes my day so cool the stuff you get to do keep up the great work

Was there when that plane was pulled from lake Michigan.

[@ousley421]

Will it fly...does a meth head need teeth?

[@MrGodsking]

Jimmy great news I have a complete set of engines fit the elvis plane with all the parts you need,you can have them free on the condition the plane is still in tact

[@stephendawg1]

I’m jealous. The P-51 has always been my favorite. Glad you had that experience, Jimmy. One note to your editor, please leave the music off when you’re flying such an epic plane. The sounds of the flight are part of what we enjoy. Especially the old war birds. Thanks.

[@Billye48]

Fully agree with leave the music off but still a great video.

[@hanc37]

The Corsair is my favorite, but the P-51 is so beautiful.

[@chipsatterly4902]

My dad was a waist gunner in a B17 w the 8th AAF 379Th BG. Flew a lot of combat missions over Europe in the later days of WW2. He said that the P-51 "Little Friends" were a huge game change for the BG's. They could fly ALL the way to and from the mission targets over Germany. Thus, virtually no German fighter threats against the B-17 BG formations. Only the flak became dangerous when the enemy fighters were gone. Amazing aircraft.

[@JamesMarcella]

Dad was a belly gunner on “Fools Paradise “ 8th Air Force. Member of lucky bastards club with over 30 missions.

[@Belznis]

I heard in one documentary that they would take out a squadron of bf109s in mere seconds. Flying from above and going down on them.

[@1112223333111]

your dad murdered German civilians and helped win a war for communist jews. you should be proud. look at your country now and look where that got you

[@ClearedAsFiled]

​@JamesMarcella Your dad is a war HERO.....that was a very tough gun position in the B17

[@daffidavit]

My uncle (dad's brother) was a nose gunner in a B-24 during the war. I still have black and white photos of his crew standing and kneeling in front of their airplane. I never heard him talk about it as a young boy growing up. He was a super quiet guy.

[@Poundingsand]

I have the pleasure of hearing this plane make passes over my place in Palm Springs. I never fail to run out and find it in the sky. It's a beautiful sight.

[@DavidLee-xi1of]

I had a Uncle that was the Top Ball gunner on B-17s during WW2. After the War he got his pilots licenses and would fly every weekend in a Cessna 175 Skylark. At the time I was only around 7-year-old yet we go up and he let me fly the plane. I couldn't even reach the rudder pedals unless I was half out of the seat. Buy the time I was 18 I had learned to fly. He told me going up somehow made him feel closer to God. He passed away in the 90s. Truely this is on my Bucket list before I die. So Lucky.

[@dukenukem8381]

Top ball? Top turret maybe ?

[@arthursulenski799]

I am 82 YO, have loved the P-51s for as long as I can remember, saw them sold as scrap (but they were complete). I was a mechanical engineer and have wanted to fly in one since I knew of them. I saw them fly over my home, central Illinois, during the war, those engines were always awesome. Thanks for this wonderful program and listening to men who actually talked to some of the Airmen from WWII. One of the friends of the family was Forest (old mind, possibly Millikin) who was a bombardier over Germany in a B-17, listened to stories he told my dad.

[@richardkunkle9924]

Thank You

[@CanardBoulevard]

I had a great friend of mine, Lt. Col Jim Sanders (not kidding) who was a bomber/navigator in B-17's in WWII. He had quite a few missions before being shot down and made a guest of the Luftwaffe at Stalag Luft III. He escaped during a forced march by diving into a snowbank and waiting for hours for the column of 10,000 men to march past. He said he also "didn't appreciate being strafed by our own planes" during the march. He was recaptured and sent to Flossenburg in Nuremberg, where he escaped again to freedom in Paris shortly before the war ended. Later he flew in B-52's, and saw action over Korea and Vietnam, and flew Chrome Dome missions during the Cold War before finally retiring. An amazing man, and a good friend to me, he kept learning until he passed in 2005. He told me SO much about flying in the B-17's in WWII. He was partway through writing a book when he died, unfortunately. He had sent me several chapters as he was writing them.

[@flllooofie]

I am glad he wrote all the thing s he did , someday people may understand the sacrifices that your parents have made to give you your freedom , sorry about this new generation

[@richardkunkle9924]

@@flllooofie Well said.

[@monsenrm]

Two tiny corrections. The aircraft at Dayton is Boxcar that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. Enola Gay is in Washington. The guy that walked up to you died in 2009. Possible ghost? He was Charles Donald and Asbury.

[@neilblankenship7900]

Bock's Car

[@therealjimmysworld]

Very cool. Thanks for the info. It would have been 2001’ish when I went there and met the guy

[@bassassin2ohseven584]

Apparently the P51 pilot isn't a fan of your channel. That was a pretty weak "clear prop"...🤣

[@FunktasticLucky]

And both built in Nebraska on location at Offutt AFB.

[@dunetrash909]

The Enola Gay is in Virginia at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center

[@tackanderson4270]

I love this bird; she's been my favorite since I sat in one as a youngster in 1968. The story of her existence is majestic. Everything about her screams freedom!

[@pctshooter]

See, I was thinking Bunny had a really nice tan and then it dawned on me that this might be one of the Red Tails.

[@karencrumlich8204]

This museum painted this plane after my dad Lt Col Robert Friend - He loved Bunny and enjoyed flying in her when he could

[@alanbabcock1438]

Great video! Thanks for the tour of the B-17. My Dad was training as a B-17 pilot when,late in the war it was decided that no more pilots were needed and he trained as a gunner, His plane exploded due to an AA round in the bombay. He was on his fourth mssion over the enemy ( about average lifespan) and spent the last four months of WW II as a POW. During the Korean War he was again in the air and this time in the B29.

[@HLS6935]

The sound of freedom. Timeless design.

[@jerryparr7156]

one of my favorite videos you have ever put out and by a long shot one of the most beautiful planes ever made. So cool to see that old warbird clear her throat. Thank you for this video!

[@MeOneP]

Thats a piece of Art... Timeless

[@stuartburgess2409]

She's a " red tail " one of the Tuskeegee airmans birds or at least painted like one , they never left the bombers stayed all the way, we had the famous 352nd fighter group the blue nosed " bastards of Bodney " stationed just a mile or two from where I'm sitting now in Norfolk UK with their P-51's back in 1944 , great stuff Jimmy as always.😊

[@Chownz]

That's true, the only squadron to have the painted tail red.

[@Mrcrowntown]

As a young fella in the cub scouts, I had an incredible opportunity to be part of the "Young Eagles" program. One event I attended, was at March AFB in southern california, only a short flight away from palm springs. I was lucky enough to fly in a P51 trainer. It sparked my immense interest into aviation! This is such a blast from the past, thanks Jimmy:)

[@danimal0921]

This was awesome, Jimmy! My Dad's oldest brother was a waist gunner on a B-17. His 17 was shot down on their final sorte and he spent over a year in a German Concentration camp. He was one of the lucky ones that made it home!

[@Turboy65]

Jimmy totally needs to end up getting a back seat ride with either the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds.

[@MrRSKC]

This is one of my favorite episodes, love all the history on this one

[@kdharley07]

Jimmy one of your most awesome videos with all the commentary. A great learning experience for all of us. Thank you so much for this.

[@robertheyes3975]

So very cool to see old planes in a museum, not reformed too much. I agree. Jimmy

[@aljensen7779]

WOW!!! THANKS FOR THE RIDE, JIMMY. JUST.... AWESOME!

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

What an absolutely gorgeous bird. Next to the Vought Corsair its amazing. What a privilege. God Bless our veterans of all foreign wars.

[@walt8089]

Our Unit the 167th FG West Virginia ANG actually retired the last very last USAF P-51 Mustang in January 1957. The Mustang at the AF Museum came from our Unit. My Dad worked in Line Supply from 1950 till around 1955 and told me about ordering parts for the Unit’s Mustangs. When I was a kid, it was a common sight to see them fly over our house in Charleston, WVa. all the time. My favorite aircraft ever built !

[@johnwinter9722]

Jimmy - really enjoy your videos. This one is so great. My dad passed in late 2021. A Marine Corp Gunny and Korean War veteran (1950-1951...you can figure where his service was), dad wad a Docent at the Palm Springs Museum for many years before his passing. You can find his name on the wall of fame there. We had many great times there getting the "cook's tour" of some of th planes. I flew many hours with him in his Cessnas and a V tail Bonanza. He finished his flying career in a pressurized Baron . Thanks for the great video.n So good to see the museum again,

[@richardphelan8414]

You Just never get tired of old aircraft ,love this stuff

[@craighermle7727]

There was an FBO owner in Nashua, NH, who owned a P-51D, used to give drives, and was fortunate enough to get a ride it it. That ride was over 30 years ago, and it is without a doubt one of my favorite aviation experiences. The Mustang's name was Double Trouble II. It too was a single-seat fighter was was adapted for a passenger.

[@phillipwitkowski9932]

Was just at the Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum next to Dulles Airport in Virginia outside of DC. The Enola Gay which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan is housed here and the Bockscar which dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan is on display at the U.S. Air Force Museum near Dayton, Ohio. Would highly recommend visiting this museum if you have the time. They also have a SR-71A blackbird on display as well as the Space Shuttle Discovery.

[@jerryerwin2707]

for years the smithsonian refused to display enola gay for fear of offending japan

[@C_71]

My dad was enlisted in the Air Force in 1966. This has been my all-time favorite airplane since the 70s as a kid. The other is the F-86 Saber... they're both beautiful airplanes! I've been in them during open house at O'hare airport many many years ago! He was in the 126th Air Refueling Wing, I'm not sure what unit he was in while he was in Okinawa from 1966-96.

[@grantnyenes3742]

Now that’s more like it! Merlin- best sounding engine ever!!! That’s the sound of freedom, and it’s a lot of BTUs!!!

[@happycanayjian1582]

So cool to watch this video. I had my family at this museum just a week ago today and I’ve got a picture of one of my sons in front of that particular Mustang, and also an obligatory one of my wife making a big grimace in front of the P-40 Sharkmouth. 😂 It’s a fantastic museum. Their display has grown a lot since I’d last been there probably a dozen years ago or so. It’s always great to talk to the docents, as well. I could listen to their anecdotes all day long. ❤️

[@ChrisB257]

You lucky son-of-a-gun Jimmy - beautiful P51 :) Lovely to see all those other classic planes and artifacts etc, particularly the B-17..

[@TreDeuce-qw3kv]

[@i.r.wayright1457]

Keep doing these museums Jimmy, the tours are fascinating.

[@Capt_kook]

Don’t forget that Palm Springs air museum has a KZbin channel!!! They have a lot of history videos on every plane you can think of.

[@ronnydowdy7432]

Great video. So much history there.I thank you and everyone else for sharing this information.

[@CanardBoulevard]

And in a total coincidence, I have a P-51 flight video coming out on my channel this Sunday!!! :)

[@dougpartington1843]

As I fly a Cessna 172 today I will imagine dropping my first notch of flaps at 400mph😊!! A fun video to watch and learn about our aviation history.

[@Mariano.Bernacki]

At 400 mph you'll have dropped a wing or two about 100 mph ago

[@dougpartington1843]

Even then, I wouldn't get there. At least the rising full moon was nice to look at tonight.

[@EDCandLace]

400mph in a 172? You would have ripped the wing off about 150mph before you hit 4 hundo!

[@1999Valkyrie]

A hundred "thumbs up" for this video!! Thanks for taking us along!

[@user-ut3mj8ti2l]

Thanks jimmy yet again !!you would love our air shows in New Zealand and the flying culture over here too thanks for sharing 😊

[@ScottClevelandmi]

According to my Grandfather who was on the ground working anti aircraft equipment stated after a few beers over a bond fire that Soldiers did not need to smuggle German war trophies. The us government would ship it home for you. He did not participate. He told me stuff about that experience that was probably why he was a life long enjoyer of beer.

Fantastic video, I really enjoy history regarding old planes and vehicles and this was one of the legendary planes from WWII.

[@ronald8673]

My uncle was in the 907th Glider Field Artillery Battalion. Not only did some gliders have troops but some had jeeps and field howitzers and crew inside. The Horsa gliders were made primarily of wood and the Wacos were tube and fabric. The F117 Nighthawks are stripped probably due to the radar absorbing paint on them. I think the coating formula is still considered Top Secret.

[@justonsullivan3807]

How cool was that flight. Great American technology back then. Doesn't get much better then that. R.I.P to all the passed away making this country a free and safer place to live. 🙏🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🙏

[@87bones87]

Finally the P51 ride!

[@wjadams2]

Palm Springs Air Museum is so awesome. Also for anyone that is interested in learning more about glider pilots in WWII, there is a great book called For Us Der Var Ist Over, by James Ferrin. It is a great book to learn about what glider pilots had to go through in their missions.

[@jazzridez]

My Dad was a pilot during WW2 and flew these and most fighters. was shot down in the Pacific and was 1st rescued during new program, operation Lifeguard, wherein the subs secondary, if not 1st, operation was to gather up the downed flyers. Straight up HEROS above the water and below. 56 takeoffs and landings on Aircraft Carriers.

[@captaindaedalus1]

Loved the museum tour, especially the stories of the docents.

Amazing aircraft. Great vid. Still get a shiver down my spine when I hear that Rolls Royce Merlin engine, look up and see the elliptical wing design.

[@woodywoodlstein9519]

This is the best guy you’ve ever interviewed. He’s a true pro but down to earth. Great guy. Clearly anyone who was lucky to learn to fly with him was lucky to learn to fly with him. Period. Great guy. Amazing plane. Engineers back in the day were better than they are now. This plane was built on paper with pencil and slide rule.

[@P-J-W-777]

My 4 personal favorite WW2 aircraft that I think are the best looking are the B-17, P-38, P-51 and F4U. I do like the Spitfire and several other but those 4 are my favorites in terms of looks. There’s always been something very attractive about a B-17 to me.

[@markcorboy8528]

Your ride in the rear of the P51D was a re live of my 50th birthday present from my partner in Graham Bethels P51D out of Ardmore airfield Auckland New Zealand 2008. Had similar issues with my hard drive video camera due to the G forces as I didn’t disable the drop protection function and it was regularly shutting down during the flight. Well done.

[@MrRotaryrockets]

I researched..Robert ( Bob) Friend after I saw the RedTail..he flew with the Tuskegee Airman ..as well he also served in the Korean war..as well as the Vietnam war too he served for 28 years..quite a remarkable career.

[@Petethedeadboy]

This is the coolest airplane you've ever had on the channel. Absolute insanity! Pure speed.

[@DragerPilot]

I see the correction to the correction has been made. It was Bock’s Car flown by Major Charles Sweeney. I can see the frustration in Jimmys face during the B-17 tour. Any plane lover with an interest in WWII could conduct this tour. Jimmy is saying to himself, “yes I know, can we move this along please”. As many here, I’m an now an old Baby Boomer with a father who was a WWII veteran. My father was a B-25 pilot, (yes he became deaf) transitioning B-29s as the war ended. As with all veterans, it was the best part of his life and the worst.

[@kmg501]

You and your son do great interviews. I really like that you let them talk.

[@bmwbob51]

Both Kathy and I have ridden in P51s at the Hollister, CA. airport a few years ago. There used to be 6 or 7 P51s based here and they built them for the Reno air races here. There's only 1 or 2 still here. When I went up we did canyon runs and I was looking up at redwoods :)

Fantastic video for many of us, but, special for me as I will never get to visit that place now. Little things bring happy memories of visiting the USA, to touristy Florida, but, we did the squeezed penny thing wherever we could, Including our NASA trip. Sometimes young Jimmy you outdo yourself on videos, and I have to admit, I happily listened to everything said and laughed when needed, but loved the video, as I love planes, and still, the sound of a Merlin on full chat sends shivers down my old spine, its a sound never to be forgotten. Once a year where we live right on the coast, we have a free air show for two days, and when the 4 Merlin-engined bombers flanked by a spitfire and hurricane fly so low over us, the noise IS amazing. Thanks again Jimmy, from merry old England

Learjet Model 23, Serial number 3. It was the first one delivered to a customer. And, it wasn't flown here from Florida, it was brought by truck. I'm in Wichita too, and worked at Learjet, a few of the old timers were still around and lots of stories about "Papa Lear".
