Brad Harris Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:21:33 +0000 http://www.botjunkie.com/?p=3097#comment-5229 I've seen a heavily modified p-51 mustang do a near complete nose hang at a local air show (Thunder in the Valley, Columbus, GA). While he never did get the plane to completely hang still, he got it down to 1-3m/s with a slight rotation. I think he was fighting wind that day as well. I can't find any videos of it right now on the usual sources, but I'm certain of what I saw, I was amazed at how powerful the engine must have been to pull that off.
