Testimonials
“I have wanted to fly the P51 since I was 10 years old during WW2. The P51 was instrumental in my decision to pursue a career in aviation. Subsequently, I got to fly most of the USAF century fighters, plus several other neat airplanes. Today, 80 years later, on my 90th birthday, I got to fly with John Black in P51 Crazy Horse. A fantastic experience. I did most of the flying after takeoff, including loop, rolls and landing. All with substantial verbal input from John “Homer” Black, who was a USAF F-15 pilot. It was all it was advertised to be. I recommend the experience for any aviation enthusiast. It’s even better for an experienced pilot. Well done Stallion 51. Thanks.”
“One will note that every review is 5 star. There’s a reason for that. If you have any interest at all in Aviation History, or just flying, this experience cannot be surpassed. Flying Crazy Horse was a dream come true, the culmination of a 35 year old bucket list item. My pilot was Jerry “Jive” Kerby, (great guy, and superb pilot) and the only reason I give the experience 5 stars is because they don’t have more. On a scale of 1 to 100, flying a P51 rates about 500. Don’t wait until you’re as old as me (77), my inner ear betrayed me, and I made myself sick flying the plane. Do it while you’re young, and can enjoy every attitude of ACM (Air Combat Maneuvering). Notwithstanding the physical limitations I have, I plan to go back, and fly the jet. Stallion 51 is EWEP. (Excellent, Worth Every Penny).”
“Many years in the making and I was finally able to book a flight with Stallion 51 and Jerry “Jive” Kerby and the very fitting “Little Witch” TF-51. I took a ride in “Ho Hun” in 1989 but nothing compares to actually being the one in control of this beautiful airplane. She is a brute but handles like a Princess and was a dream to fly. Jerry was fantastic in his pre-flight, flight op and post flight explanations and directions and made you feel right at home. The staff from the smallest of jobs all the way up the line made me feel at home and took care of all my questions and needs. Do yourself a favor before you wish you had and book a flight in one of these extraordinary warbirds. You will not regret it.”
Flying the Mustang was one of the most exhilarating things I have ever done. I have absolutely no experience flying a plane, but my pilot Steve made me feel like a pro. Everyone there is extremely friendly and was a pleasure to talk to. I would recommend this to anyone that has a love for flying. It also gave me an increased sense of admiration for the pilots that flew these planes in combat. I cannot wait to do it again!
Why we do what we do.
Memories and remembering tie us to the past and often together. As Memorial Day approaches, it is important to remember those who gave so much for the good of us all. A time when the world came together in the hopes that good would win over evil. We at Stallion 51 are reminded of those sacrifices as we share our P-51 Mustangs with those who want to touch the history they represent; it is our honor and privilege. We realize that to many the Mustang is a touch-stone to a time when right would win out over wrong. That as a nation, all gave some, some gave all whether on the frontlines or on the home front.
Some who fly with Stallion 51 bring with them personal reasons of why they want to fly the Mustang with us; a family member flew them in the war, or worked on them in the factory or heard stories how the Mustang saved a family member on the battle fields or over the skies of Europe.
In December of 2022, one of Stallion 51’s instructor pilots, John Posson (JP) flew Alain Barthel in “Crazy Horse”. Alain, a passionate aviation history enthusiasts, had flown from Switzerland to fly Stallion 51’s Mustang for personal reasons. Alain shared that his grandfather had hidden allied airman in France during WWII under the threat of death from the SS if he was caught. JP shared that his uncle, who he was named after, was shot down in a B-24 and buried in France. Through their preflight conversation it was obvious that JP and Alain shared a common history, so much so that after their Mustang flight Alain offered to put flowers on the grave when he returned to Europe.
When Alain returned to his home in Switzerland he drove four and half hours to Lorraine American Cemetery and Memorial located just outside Saint-Avold, Moselle, France to fulfill his promise of laying flowers on JP’s uncle grave. Alain and JP shared the moment via Facetime while he was there, completing an act of kindness and respect that Alain’s grandfather would have been proud of.
Stallion 51’s Mustangs continue to keep that history alive, relevant and accessible; making connections with people and the past. Thank you to Alain for remembering those who we owe so much.
On this Memorial Day and everyday; we at Stallion 51 remember and are grateful.

It so awsome to meet with Lee. Last year at Sun N Fun. I would love to surprise my dad.
My dad would love this being retired Air Force and his dad Army Air Corps and built P-51 mustangs during WW2. It has alway been a dream of his.
