This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Steve,
The 'whine' or whistle that you hear on some P51's is from the unsealed gunports.
Aircraft that have them sealed don't make that noise!
Cheers
Paul
