Charity Fundraiser Offers Chance To Win A Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience Flying An Iconic WWII Fighter.

You don’t have to be a history buff to appreciate the legacy of the P-51 Mustang. Introduced in 1940 to provide air protection during bombing missions, the Mustang was a formidable foe to the enemy while being an Allied pilot’s dream to fly.

Stallion 51 is partnering with Angel Flight Southeast to raffle off a chance to take control of the World War II legend while helping the charity’s worthy mission.

Angel Flight Southeast’s network of 650 volunteer pilots provides free air transportation to life-saving medical appointments for people who otherwise not get there. While pilots donate their airplanes, fuel and flight hours to complete more than 3,000 flights each year, the non-profit organization is reliant on donations and fundraising to pay for support services and to keep passengers and pilots in the air.

The Raffle prize includes:

• A half-day P-51 orientation experience at Stallion 51’s headquarters at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM) in Kissimmee, Florida
• Pre-flight briefing that tailors each flight to the individual's experience, expertise and expectations; preflight walk around and cockpit orientation;
• Hands-on flight that encourages the individual to do 95% of the flying;
• Post-flight briefing reviewing the recorded video that captures all of the action during the flight;
• Photo with pilot and aircraft.

Individual raffle tickets are $20 each, six for $100 or 13 for $200. The prize includes round trip airfare up to $500 to Orlando. The winner will be announced on April 10, 2016 during the annual Sun N Fun International Fly-in and Expo held at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport (KLAL), April 5 – 10, 2016.
