Ride in the jumpseat of a beautifully preserved and incredibly rare P51 Mustang.
Enjoy amazing views of the stunning Northern California countryside
A great experience for history buffs and thrill seekers alike!

Take a trip back in time as you race down the runway and imagine yourself as one

of the brave, young WWII fighter pilots departing English soil for the skies over France and Germany. Sleek, sexy, and fast, the P51 Mustang is widely considered the plane that turned the tide of the war and was named "the most aerodynamically perfect pursuit plane in existence," by the Truman Senate War Investigating Committee in 1944. After take-off, you'll experience the rush of soaring through the abundant blue skies and the breathtaking views of the Northern California coast behind the venerable 1,500 HP, 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.

The North American P-51 Mustang:
This long-range bomber traditionally is a single-seat craft, but you will get the rare opportunity to ride as a passenger in the specially installed jumpseat. There are only a handful of these planes that fly, so don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
