I had the great privilage of flying with John Bagley, a reno air race pilot, in his P-51 "Ole Yeller". The plane previously belonged to Bob Hoover who is no doubt an icon in aviation. The ride was a birthday present from my dad for turning 19. The 45 minute ride was the best 500 bucks you could ever spend. This is footage taken by my dad while John and I were doing a 300 MPH pass down the runway

You're missing one point, the engine noise in the video.

That may not be aliasing if that was Bob Hoover flying it. He did portions of his routine without power. Its hard to tell from the vid but the prop looks feathered to me. I've seen him do this live many times.

Nice one. It's a bit freaky how the video aliasing makes the prop appear to be motionless.
