P51 Mustangs

[Kirkforprez]

Little late with this and probably off the subject. Few hours prior to the Wisconsin game two prop planes were flying in formation over Kinnick. Looked a lot like P51 Mustangs. Anybody know anything about this?

Saw it too, thought they were up there for a fly over, but than there was none.

Maybe that was the flyover, they were just off by a couple hours

 

[Biggusblockus]

They sounded awesome. P51s were my guess as well.

 

[AreWeThereYet]

New safety regulations, all flyovers must be done at least three hours prior to game time.

No mistaking the Merlin engine.
Too bad people did not care what was going on. I was frankly getting upset that others didn't care these treasures were around

Well in the peoples defense, Iowa did a wonderful job promoting these planes would be flying over

Probably Packards, but that is a technicality (I agree they sound great) : )

The Packard version of the Rolls-Royce engines are still called Merlins, though.

That would have been cool to see.

Couple years ago I saw the one airworthy B-29 fly over the fall fest I was at. It. Was. Awesome.

Well, if you didn't run around like this kid, hand in your passport and driver's license and move to the Soviet Union, commie.

I saw them.. They were bad *** and I am under 60. Was hoping for a fly over but it didn't happen. It would have been more exciting than the game.

I think it was an ode to Iowa's jet sweep.
