In an emotional flight, the P-51 Mustang and the F-35 fly together at Andrew Air Force Base air show, showing each generation's fighters; WW2 and modern 5th Gen. fighter.

Right before the flight, the President flew out of Andrews Air Force Base in Air Force One.

They flew together on September 17th, 2022 at the Andrew Air Force base air show. Andrews Air Force base is where the President of the United States' plane, Air Force One, is based.

What's of note is how much larger the F-35 is compared to the P-51.

The P-51 Mustang was an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts.

The F-35 is a single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
