Few things in aviation hit harder than a P-51 Mustang at full throttle. This is the fighter that ruled the skies over Europe in World War II, flying escort all the way to Berlin and back and tearing through the Luftwaffe to help win the war. With a Packard Merlin V-12 pounding out more than 1,400 horsepower and a top speed over 430 mph, its speed and agility were unmatched for its time, and they still turn heads today. Watch it scream down the show line, pull straight up into the vertical, and roll through a routine that shows exactly why pilots loved it and enemies feared it. If you only ever see one warbird fly, make it the Mustang.
