The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range fighter and fighter-bomber used during conflicts including World War II and the Korean War. It is widely credited as being the premier WWII fighter, which gave ultimate air superiority to the allied forces.
The P-51D is an American long-range, single-seat fighter-bomber, labeled as the “most aerodynamically perfect pursuit plane in existence” during the war by the Truman Senate War Investigating Committee.
A flight in the Mustang is a flight like no other. Our expertly trained pilots can take you on a smooth, straight level-flight or they can perform a full series of warbird aerobatics, showcasing the legendary capabilities of the fighter.
