That would have been a treat I'd have loved to see! We had a P-51 come to a fly-in at our local airport a few years back and it was awesome to watch...sounded great, too. We got IN ANG A-10s, which are pretty sweet too, but we didn't get to see them because they flew well south of us, and the weather sucked.

Depending on the aircraft it's the throttle or other control stick.

I got to watch the NYC flyover from the roof of my building, which has an almost unobstructed view of NYC.
