Mustang P-51 D: Low level flyby with awesome V-12 Merlin audio

Recorded at the Hunterfest 2021 in Mollis, Switzerland.

Even the sound while taxing back the runway after landing an then turning (almost idle throttle) is goosebumps material .

Cool!

Fabulous!! When adding that second seat, where does the equipment previously occupying that space go? I know much of the former content was radio gear. I presume today's modern radio/nav replacement gear is much smaller, and easier to relocate. Also, has the pilot's seat been moved forward a bit?

That is a very good question indeed. Did not find much information / pictures yet. But several modifications are reported. Removing the radio is one of them.

According to wiki there is a civilian modified version of the P51, the Cavalier Mustang.

"The airframes were completely disassembled, the military equipment stripped out, and then rebuilt with a second seat, new avionics, plush leather interiors, luggage bays, and civilian paint schemes". Cavalier Mustang - Wikipedia
