AND THE WINNER IS.......Jim Jordan of Cocoa, Florida!

 

This afternoon, on the floor of the AOPA convention in Hartford, CT we drew the winning ticket for a one hour flight in a P51 Mustang. To many, this is a once in a life time experience.  Most Pilots and aviation enthusiasts will agree, flying the P-51 Mustang is one of the top items on their bucket list and today that dream came true for Jim Jordan of Cocoa Florida.  Jim is not only a supporter, Jim is an Mercy Flight Southeast pilot!

  

Stallion 51 has been the premier P-51 Mustang training facility for 25 years, providing orientation flights and training in the Mustang to thousands of customers from around the World. Stallion 51 looks forward to sharing the Mustang experience with those who support Mercy Flight Southeast.

 

Congratulations Jim!
