| Re: Mustang Time... There is only one thing you need to know --- absolutely --- the airplane does what you think. This bit of advice was given to me thirty years ago when I ventured forth to learn to fly it. Best advice I ever got. It is so quick and responsive it knows what you want it to do, hopefully not before you do. As my instructor told me, keep your head out of your a$$ or it will eat you alive.

| Re: Mustang Time... It depends...do you just want to fly a Mustang, or do you want to get an ETR so that you're qualified and insurable to fly one? If you just want to fly one, there are plenty of dual-control D models out there, as well as an increasing number of full-up TF-51s. I'm sure you can find someone somewhere who will give you a flight for less than what Stallion is asking. If you want to get checked out in the airplane -- that is, be able to actually fly one solo that somebody else owns -- you're going to need not only the full checkout from Stallion (or one of about two or three other guys who do checkouts, like Matt Jackson in Cali) AND about 200 hours of T-6 time. The checkout from Stallion costs something in the neighborhood of $10,000, and even at that you won't be insurable without the T-6 time. Raw operating costs of the Six are going to run you something like $200/hour, depending on fuel cost, and that of course doesn't include the cost of a checkout in it either! It's a very expensive game....but then, everyone on this website is aware of the costs of just getting checked out in ANYTHING these days.

| Re: Mustang Time... Well, as of right now my ambitions only deal with actually piloting one with assistance, no solo needed. However, in the future... well |

| Re: Mustang Time... I'm pretty sure this falls into the "if you have to ask you probably can't afford it" category.

| Re: Mustang Time... I'm doing my CFI training here at ISM and see them flying the P-51's and T-6's all day and everyday. I think it would be really cool to fly one.....I wish it wasn't SO expensive though.
