I've ridden in a P-51 Mustang several times.


I think that's the only Warbird I've been in.

Mon Jul 06, 2009 11:53 am

Wow, you guys all blow me out of the water! Amazing. My dream is to fly in a Mustang...just once. Hopefully someday.

I've flown in a Stearman and flown a T-6. My first solo was a 1952 Aeronca Champ on a grass field in the middle of Iowa last summer! Gotta start somewhere, right?
