Not sure if this has been posted before, but even if it has, it's worthing watching, and more importantly, listening to again.

Thanks to Doug (Flying Trucker) for sending it to me.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I think you're referring to the "Mustang whine/whistle". I'm told this is caused by airflow over the open gun ports. The Spitfire & Hurricane don't do it as the gun ports are covered with fabric.

Wow L.T. GREAT vid. Shocked

Thank you and thank you Hagar! If you fly Warbirdsim's P-51 Cadillacs, they make the same exact sound, starting around 200 knots!
