After spending 1000 hours flying combat in Vietnam and then not climbing into a plane for 40 years it was incredible to fly with Stallion 51. Their professionalism and attention to detail was outstanding. The flight instructor was very encouraging despite how rusty my flying skills were. It was an experience I will never forget, to be free and barrel...

Some events in life become the standard by which others are judged. Taking an hour ride in a Mustang is one of those. An all-sensory experience that puts one in aw of the shoulders upon which we are standing. To imagine being a fresh faced 20 year old taking to the skies in such a machine just 40 years after...

I went to Stallion 51 in Kissimmee Florida on May 9, 2016 where I got to do a 1 hour orientation flight. Let me tell you it was a dream come true. My pilot was John "Homer" Black and I can't say enough good things about him. He was very professional, knowledgable and took the time to explain everthing and....

I got to fly with the owner Mr. Lee Lauderback and it was incredible. I thought he would fly the aircraft and show me what it could do; I was very wrong. Their add states "you will fly 90% of the time” and they meant it. I had control of the aircraft almost immediately: taxing to the runway. Right after...

My son and I each took a flight on Stallion's T6 Texan, each of us spending an hour in the sky with Steve Larmore, and each of us with different expectations. My son wanted all the aerobatics Steve could talk him through. On the other hand, I wanted to have a go at flying a vintage plane with some maneuvers...

My husband was a loadmaster in the AF and retired about 15 years ago. He is the most avid non-pilot flyer I know and I knew he would love this experience. The customer service was amazing, so friendly and helpful. We were able to walk through the hangars and take pictures of the beautiful Mustangs. The entire staff was knowledgable...

I've been looking at doing this for awhile and since I was going to visit friends in FL. I thought that I'd give them a call. I talked to a very friendly knowledgeable and helpful person and booked the P51 on a thurs. and the L39 jet the following Mon. Both flights were fantastic and both pilots/instructors great and very...

Had a great flight in the AT-6 with Steve. He is an excellent instructor and knows the airplane very, very well. Quickly I realized I had forgotten how to fly small aircraft, all I can do is fly big jet airliners. I will be back after some tail dragger and small aircraft flying for more time. But, what an absolute...

Paul, The T-6 was known as the pilot maker when your Dad was learning to fly the B-25 Mitchell bomber back in WWII and it still does a great job of teaching pilots how to use their feet! We look forward to you coming back for more Texan Time, Until then, Aloha. KT Budde-Jones

A dream comes true, one hour in a P-51 Mustang thanks to my two lovely daughters, Melinda and Andrea for my 80th birthday. What a kick!!!! Being USN retired, I have had the opportunity to fly supersonic and have been high enough to see the curvature of the earth on several occasions, but, at this late date, none compares to...
