I'm embarrassed to say, but this is a dream I've had for many years, and now I can finally see it through.

OK $1495.00 But I get a cool video and a dream-come-true...  :cheers:

Sounds great, don't be embarrassed, a lot of people have paid more for something that won't leave them smiling for years like this will you!  Enjoy, and know that there will be a lot of jealous people.   :aok

Don't be embarrassed.  I only asked because it is something I would really like to do myself.

Nice, have to admit I'm jealous - closest I've come so far is a Tiger Moth (got to take the controls tho, which was interesting  :D)

Enjoy the experience (and had I the money, I'd do it as well, sod the embarrasment factor)

Don't feel bad. As has noted people have paid a lot more for a lot less, plus you won't catch the clap.

When you get the video post it if you can. I would love to watch it.

Was fun Nooby, betting you'll be grinning from ear to ear at the end of the day (I was)

If I ever get the money together to do a flight in a 51, I'll be taking it !!!!

$1495 is peanuts compared to what it represents. Worth every cent. This weekend I will probably earn that much flying skydivers. One hour in a P51 would be a fair exchange. Enjoy!
