Where can i fly a WWII warbird?
Hello all,
Going to be in the US in various states over the next 6 months. Does anyone know where I can have a go at flying a warbird. I know there is a P-51 place in Florida - has anyone tried them? Anyway, any info would be appreciated!
Cheers all

If you are in California there is a guy down at Calrsbad (Palomar-McCellan Airfield) that does flight s in warbirds. If there are two of you he can even arrange a mock dogfight for you.
If memory serves me right though he is a bit pricey, he was still operating when I flew into there in Fenruary.
Regards,
Julian.

Were the warbirds at McLellan the Harvard and the Stearmans.
I saw them a couple of years ago. They looked great, the Harvard was $400/hour and the stearmans a bit less. Have they got some more now?
f you want I have a contact a Palomar, I'll try to get their number for you.
If you want to fly somthing Old and V.fast how about one of those Hawker Hunters in England. Rides can be arranged, see www.hawkerhunter.com.
Good luck.

Mad-Dog11, the P-51 is in Kissimee FL. I don't remember the name of the firm. I'm not home right now, but will revert (if nobody else gets you the info)when back.
The bird is very nice, fully dual equipped (only one in the world) and of course very expensive. Again I don't have the rates handy, but I think to remember someth'around 800 box for 30 min and 1400 for 1 hour.
Hope you can do it and please enjoy some for me
P.S. There's also a T-6 Harvard or whatever you want to call it in Van Nuys CA, no details...

A harvard isnt really a war bird, is it? Its just what they did advanced training on? Still, seems quite good, theres even a place in England that has `em, about £400 an ahour though. Stearmans arent quite war birds are they? They are the american equivalent of Moths really, only a little faster and bigger.
Mclellan, isnt that where they trained for the Doolittle raids? That reminds me! Wouldnt it be great to have a ride in a WW2 bomber? I`ve never seen it advertised though, has anyone else?
