“Living the dream!”

Reviewed 16 May 2013

2013 marked my fourth visit to Stallion 51 for a flight in the mighty Mustang. Julia, Steve and both Johns have made us feel like family right from the first visit. Each flight has been a unique experience and leaves me with a strong desire to return as often as I can. You may well imagine what it feels like... More

“One of the BEST five days of my Life - Still aglow after completing my Stallion 51 Bucket List Flight last Monday!”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

For over 50 years I have wanted to take the controls of a first-rate World War II Fighter Plane. Frankly, the opportunities to fulfill such a dream are beyond rare. A few years ago, while flying a Navy SNJ Advanced Fighter Trainer out of Kissimmee, Florida, I saw the Operations of Stallion 51 and their T/P-51 Mustangs. As a licensed... More

“See what it is like to have the freedom of an eagle”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

I'm 75 years old, and flew the Stallion 51 jet (L-39 Albatross). It was a great experience - do it whether or not you are a pilot. The instructor will talk you through the maneuvers and you will be able to fly aerobatics, if you want, even if you are not a pilot. You will never have such a sense... More

Robert, So glad you had the opportunity to experience central Florida upside down in our L-39 Turbojet! Though fun to fly, our L-39 turbojet is also an amazing classroom for those wishing to make themselves safer pilots through our Unusual Attitude Training program that incorporates both the Mustang and the L-39. Thanks for sharing the cockpit with us. KT Budde-Jones More

“Dream Flight”

Ever since I was very young my dream was to ride in a war bird. John Posson and the entire Stallion51 crew made that dream come true on 4/26/2013. I would have been happy to just do a roll in Crazy Horse 2 without messing up too bad. It was a suprise that I was able to control the Mustang... More

“Crazy Horse”

Reviewed 2 May 2013

Flying the TF-51D is the ULTIMATE experience. I can say without reservation that this is the best flying FUN I've had in 20+years of piloting. I've done very limited aerobatics through Air Combat.....and although a most enjoyable time....it didn't compare with the time in NL851D with John Posson up front. When you pull the stick back to do a loop... More

“Flying Crazy Horse A+++”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

Exceeded my expectations. Lee interviewed & briefed me thoroughly prior to the flight so I felt completely safe and comfortable. It's a rare opportunity to see a Mustang anymore so hands-on flying Crazy Horse was an especially memorable event, certainly one of the best aviation experiences I have ever enjoyed. It was like going to Aviator Heaven for an hour!

“Much Shorter Bucket List”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

A lot of items on my bucket list got erased after my P-51 flight with Steve. African hunt, skydiving, shark photography-- all gone as they pale in comparison to flying this plane. Steve said my smile wouldn't be gone and I wouldn't stop yapping about it for 24 hrs.- wrong. It took 48 hrs. Aerobatics were great, but suprisingly landing... More
