Fly a P51 Mustang?

Something Dudley said in the Leaving Usenet thread got me thinking about
flying a P51. I found www.stallion51.com as an option. Does anyone have
any personal experience or know of any dual control Mustangs that offer a
chance to fly them?

A friend of mine flew with them a few years ago, had a blast. I'm not aware
of any other places that offer dual-control Mustangs (or even two-seat
Mustangs, for that matter), but that's not to say they aren't out there (the
Stallion 51 web site says there are 11 others somewhere).

I've only heard good things about Stallion 51.

Pete,

It used to be, not so long ago, that the Dixie Air Wing (maybe other's ) of
the Commemorative Air Force would sell rides.

I was going to mention that I had spoke to a fellow at sun and fun this year
that was offering rides in a P-51 at sun and fun.
I had forgotten the name of his group until you posted this. I think it was
them.. The 20 minute flight was somewhere around $700. I was going to do it
but they were booked solid. He said he was based south of Atlanta. One
important thing I didnt get to ask him was if the Mustang was dual control.
If anyone knows this please post it.

I almost went for a ride quite a number of years ago, but backed out when I found out that I would not be able to even
feel the controls. Would have been a great ride, but $350 (like I said, a long time ago) for 20-30 minutes so I decided
to just watch... :-(
