world fastest p51-d mustang 4 sale
Anyone here got a pilot lincence and 950.000 us dollar somewhere??
You can buy the world fastest p51 d mustang ever.
Vehicle Description
Dago Red is an North American Modified P-51D 'Mustang'
Manufactured in 1944 Military # AAF-44-74996
Wingspan 34 ft Lenth 32 ft 3 in
Race Weight 9500 lbs +/-
Engine Modified Merlin V12 1650 cubic in
Horsepower 4000 +
Dago Red was first introduced to the air racing scene in 1982 - where the creation of Frank Taylor, Bill Destefani, Pete Law, Bruce Boland, Mike Nixon, and the other talented folks at Chino had turned the wreckage of N5410V into a racing thoroughbred. Taking from the best of other racing aircraft like "Jeannie" - the goal was to make this racer as light, as aerodynamically clean, and as fast as possible. Less than a year after the project started, Dago Red was soon destined to make an indelible mark in air racing history, and do so much earlier then anyone could have predicted. During her first appearance at Reno, pilot- Ron Hevle captured the #1 qualifying position in Dago Red and went on to win the first heat race as well as the Gold Championship Event. No other aircraft since the rebirth of air racing at Reno had ever accomplished such a feat. Since that time, Dago Red has gone on to establish herself as one of the fastest racing aircraft ever to take to the pylons, posting the fastest qualifying speed ever recorded by a P-51 Mustang at 492.722 MPH and the fastest recorded race speed of 507.105 mph as well as being the current 15Km speed record holder at 517.06 MPH and current 5-time consecutive National Unlimited Class Champion. From the beginning, Dago Red was a champion born of championship heritage - and continues to this day exhibiting "The Winning Spirit" she & Team Dago Red have come to signify.
The things you find on ebay these day's.
And i hope he sells it to somebody that can flight it good and race it hard.

I think this paintjob looks better the old airforce paintjob looks boring to me.
But this is way faster than ay other p51 mustang or most prop planes on earth for that matter and thats what counts.
I don't care much about the looks of a aircraft as long as ít's fast.

But this p51 is faster than jet airliners of today.
Give me the p51-d dago red any day.
The jet fighters of today are boring more computers than plane.
You can race and fly airshows whit dago red you can't run a f15 witout a full workforce you don't need many people to run a p51.
Jet fighters are boring.

mabey to you; but jesus... how is 9g boring? how is climbing to 50,000 ft in a minute boring? what about running accute formation at 500 mph at 100 ft AGL?
have you even seen a modern air show? and you are just plane incorrect that the p51 doesnt need a large workforce to maintain it; albeit, it is smaller, but still just as nessisary for safety/reliability.

You don't need a jet fighter to pull 9 g or more most good aerobatic planes can pull that.
You ony need only private pilot licence to fly dago red.
Cars are not my only passion i love fast planes motorbikes etc.
And yes i have been to a airshow(redbull airrace in rotterdam).

i agree that acrobatic planes are very cool, but not much compares to 120,000 rpm and 50,000 + kg of thrust, vectored thrust.... no to mention 30 inch LOCAS aircraft with a Turbine the size of a nerf football making 160,000 rpm...
aircraft w/ props and reciprocating engines are quite limited in ability... they may sound great in the racing aircraft, but pushing the limits of technology requires moving forward... turbines, and later, scram jets with no moving parts.
i love aircraft myself to quite some degree; but i much prefer what lies ahead more then the past... but i quite like the past too.

You won't find sexier planes anywhere on the planet.
