In view of the recent mentions of Crazy Horse, I thought you might like to see some air-to-airs I took of this wonderful Mustang! Hope you enjoy.

Crazy Horse
Tom – I hope you get to do it someday soon – sounds great fun flying in Florida – your respect and appreication for the Mustang Pilots would go up significantly if you had a ride in a 51 – it just gives you that bit more insight into what it must have been like for them .
Personally I quite happy to watch em and hear that beautiful Merlin sound – great to know you went up in the 17 and 24 – i will have another 17 ride someday – might go out to California next May to see them tour LA – they re currently out on the West Coast .
Fuddy Duddy was at Van Nuys last weekend BTW
I will see if I can borrow the pictures from a friend !!

Ron: Well got to fly for free as a television news photojournalist and the B-24 and B-17 years ago….wouldl love to do the Mustang deal, well worth the money I say. Got to see a Russian Antonov 124 today here at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport….a massive four engine Russian Cargo aircraft. Not a fighter or bomber, but neat to watch it lower its front end and take on cargo bound for Europe ! Twenty-five hundered for the Mustang deal ??????????? Well ….something to think about…but that a two week trip to Europe . Guess insurance and fuel is now causing the cost of the experience to go up !

Crazy Horse and Stallion 51
Ha, Tom i was going to ask you had you been down to Kissimee and done that experience – I think it would cost big bucks – they have a website -they dont mention the price -they just say Contact them

Tom – if you can afford this go for it – I flew in the B17 and that was well worh the 350 USD I paid -your only young once – no rehearshals in life eh :p but of course you know that
Of course you would have to go up in the Blue Noser and not Mad Maz !!!

The cost to fly in Crazy Horse these days!
Can anyone give me a ball park figure as to what one must pay these days to have that Mustang experience in Orlando, Flordia with a flight in Crazy Horse ? What ever it is..it has to be worth it ! Saving my pennies for such a day !
Thanks !
