demonstrate its extreme capabilities .

I might be mistaken, but that airplane is green and white... :D
The video is old, probably from the late 60's since the Commander he's flying isn't a Shrike.
I got to see him in Reno right before his run in with the FAA. The green and white (Evergreen) bird is hanging in the Smithsonian.
When I saw him,years ago,both the Shrike ...and his P-51 were both yellow/orange...

Yep... but he couldn't get insurance anymore and had to quit performing :( ...
Where the FAA couldn't, the bean counters succeeded. :yuk:
