I doubt that your experience would make any significant difference, bearing in mind that you are considering an experience flight and not a full conversion on type. Any student pilot or newly-minted PPL should be perfectly capable of having fun and getting a small 'taste' of what it is like to fly a Mustang.

This is a first; I have never before heard anyone criticize the Pitts Special for being unresponsive / requiring heavy control inputs.
