The P 51 is a terrific bird.
Nellis AFB does an airshow each November that usually is very good. The Thunderbird stuff is always there to enjoy of course, but they do a good job of mixing in a wide variety of aircraft. A few years back they arranged a fly by of three aircraft intended to demonstrate changes over time of the fighter inventory. They brought together a P 51, an F 4 Phantom, and an F 22. I chuckled a bit as they flew past; you could hear the Merlin at full tilt, churning for all it was worth......sounded great. On the other hand, I imagined the jet jockeys were throttled way back, trying to maintain above stall speed (only a slight exaggeration) to hold the formation. It was great to see! It would have only been better if they'd found an air worthy F 86 to add.......
