Let's see here...
Bent prop and attendant damage to reduction gears: $50,000USD minimum. Tear down Packard Merlin to check for crankshaft damage, rebuild while apart: $250,000 minimum. Inspect and repair airframe, including malfunctioning gear hydraulics: $200,000 minimum. New underwear for crew: $20. Is it any wonder why so few remain.

Good luck all around there, not counting the bad luck that started the good luck streak.
Great footage, thanks for sharing.

Somehow I just don't think this is a real P-51. I think it's a replica. The use of the term "A LIGHT", just doesn't fit a real mustang. Take that with the fact that many ultralight aircraft have been developed to look like a mustang makes me wonder.

I'm more inclined to think that the news crews just don't know what they're talking about, it's the same over here. Besides few people have an eye for machinery (a car's a car and a plane is a plane etc.) or any sense of history.

Couldn't be any more real.

Oh it's real alright. It was actually built under licence in Australia and was designated the CA-17 and CA-18.
