George Kouba has won the flight of a lifetime in Angel Flight/Mercy Flight’s fundraising raffle.  Congratulations George, we look forward to sharing the cockpit with you! \

Stallion 51 partnered with Mercy 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 700 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 the support services 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 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 was announced on Monday, September 21, 2020 at the Stallion 51’s headquarters at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM) in Kissimmee, Florida.

Raffle tickets can be purchased online at http://www.MercyFlightSE.org/events or by calling(352) 326-0761. Entrants need not be present at the drawing to win.
