Tickets are still available to win a chance to fly a P-51 Mustang.
Stallion 51 in Florida donated the flight to Angel Flight Southeast to help raise funds to help with the charity’s mission.
Angel Flight Southeast’s network of 700 volunteer pilots provides free air transportation to life-saving medical appointments for people who otherwise could 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 relies on donations and fundraising to pay for the support services to keep passengers and pilots in the air, officials explain.
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 20 for $200. The prize includes round trip airfare up to $500 to Orlando.
The winner will be announced on Sept. 21, 2020, at the Stallion 51’s headquarters at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM) in Kissimmee, Florida. You do not have to be present to win.
Raffle tickets can be purchased online at AngelFlightSE.org/Events or by calling 352-326-0761. Tickets will be sold through Monday, Sept. 21, 2020, at 12 p.m. EDT.
