Quick edit together of some of the Horsemen Footage at Flying Legends, listen for the power changes in the in-cockpit footage to see how much hard work the display is

Awesome stuff.
Their act is a thing of beauty and unfortunately I have only been able to see it in video. Can't imagine it in person.
Thanks for sharing,
Mark

Very neat video -- thanks for sharing that.
FWIW, the throttle inputs that the wingmen are making aren't really that unusual for formation flying that includes over-the-top maneuvering. Formation work is always a set of constant inputs to the throttle and flight controls to maintain position. Truth in advertising: I haven't ever done it in a Mustang, so I'm making that statements based on other aircraft types I've done it in -- so, if any Mustang types need to correct me, I stand corrected.

Nice job... how did you edit out the announcers? 
Mark (what a great name ), I was a fortunate first timer at Duxford and it was incredible to watch in person. The whistling over the gun ports (much debate read about it on various sites... I think I'm safe to state that's what it was) was just incredible to listen to.
