CAN ANY ONE HELP. MY FATHER AND I ARE MUSTANG FANS. NEXT YEAR I AM 40 HE IS 60. AM I BEING NAIVE OR IS IT POSSIBLE TO PAY FOR A TRIP FOR US BOTH IN A TWO SEAT P51 PROVIDING THERE ARE TWO SEAT P51’S IN THE UK.
IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO ORGANISE THIS SOUGHT OF THING, IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED AS MY FATHER HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. I AM A SERVING SOLDIER AND HE IS AN EX CRAB. SO GETTING ONE OVER HIM WOULD BE A GREAT PLEASURE.

Planes of Fame at Chino, California also offers rides in the Mustang as well as several other types. (AT-6, P-40, ?) There bird is not a dual control airplane but does have a second seat. Most Mustang restorations include a back seat so there must be at least one owner in the UK that is willing to offer a ride for a price, no?

It would obviously cost more to get there , but another possibility is the Olympic Flight Museum at Olympia , Washington State.
You can get a 20-25 minute flight in a Mustang for around $600 , which I believe is a lot cheaper than Kissimmee.
They have a web-site at http://www.olympicflightmuseum.com/.
George Pick Travel / Baes do tours to Olympia most years , their web-site is at http://www.baes.org.uk/

Ifyou can afford it – lash out for two tickets to Florida. Stallion 51 at Kissimee will take both of you up at the same time (they have two TF-51s). You get to fly them and can wave at each other whilst flying in formation. Fabulous but not cheap.
