    Man! My heart would be beating out of my chest getting buckled into that beautiful plane. Not because of fear... Because of joy!
    That would be such an honer to fly in such a historic and beautiful aircraft. Lucky guy! Thanks for the ride along Sir.

    I won a raffle to go for a ride in the P51 "Excalibur" a few years back from the Kalamazoo Air Zoo museum in Kalamazoo, Mi. The flight was a week before the Gathering of Mustang and Legends. Got to meet Col. Bud Anderson while there as well!

    the amazing thing is.. Looking at those private jets @11:41 .....the P-51 could probably fly as high as those jets despite how old it is!

    $2,200 dollars for a half an hour, $3,200 for an hour. If you're really lucky the pilot might let you fly his plane. Best fucking investment I ever made, if you have the money go for a ride. Nothing is better then taking a ride in a P 51 Mustang.

      $3,700 an hour now ;-) And I just booked a flight! Was gonna spend that money on a threesome with porn stars, ah well lol....
      I haven't received a confirmation email though. Did you get one?

    One suggestion: Please remember you have a camera on your head & move it slowly. Or, use a suction or other mount.

    What a golden era of flight. Did the passenger have a parachute? I would be a little nervous if my pilot was wearing a parachute...

    for a moment there, i thought the parachute was his arms in a black jacket until i see the light grey top...lol. I thought, poor guy, what are they doing to him, he's in a bloody straight-jacket.
