Speaking from pure conjecture and wild eyed fantasy, that duty was once handled by 20 year old men in one tenth the time, over and over for fifteen hours a shift, twenty four hours a day. A fella can dream can't he? Thank you to the greatest generation of modern times

Excellent video find.
When you have unlimited money, this is the ultimate.
My buddy's uncle had a P51D and he put all 6 50 BMGs in it and then shot up old cars in the desert. He sold it to Tom Cruise, and I thought that was a sad, sad day, not just for selling it, but for selling to that guy. It had to be much worse than seeing your beloved Harley ride off with someone else for good.
A couple years ago I flew a P51 for an hour and it wrecked me for adrenaline anywhere else for the rest of my life. Pulling barrel and aileron rolls, Immelmanns and split-Ses put measly Cessnas to absolute shame. I am figuring out how to get rich so I can buy one. Even if I sell all my FAs, Bowens and motorcycles, I'm still a couple million short.

Ok this dream in me was very much dead because of trivial issues such as "out of my price range" until seeing that, now I need one again and am suddenly thinking from a "me, me, me!" standpoint.
Also need an unlimited supply of 115/145 avgas to go with it. And a full time maintenance crew with a lifetime's worth of spark plugs. And lots of ammo. And two 110 gallon drop tanks. Couldn't really tell but looks like no two seat modification so might need a custom baffled 80 gallon tank to replace the stock unbaffled fuselage tank so it doesn't think it's a bowling ball in bumpy air. And my shoulders and legs probably need to shrink so I can fit in it because I'm closer to Tarzan's size than to Bob Hoover's size.
