Bob Hoover Will Name JSSI's 'Fly A P-51' Winner At NBAA Annual Convention
Most pilots start to get that wistful look in their eye when they see a P-51 Mustang. That "what would it be like to fly one of those" look. At the NBAA annual meeting in Atlanta this fall, one pilot will have a chance to find out. Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI) announced its new "Fly a P-51" sweepstakes Thursday at the NBAA Regional Forum in Chicago. The sweepstakes,officially launched as of Thursday, will allow entries until October 20th, when the grand prize winner will be announced at the NBAA 63rd Annual Meeting and Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.
The grand prize of an orientation flight in a dual-controlled P-51 Mustang aircraft through the Stallion 51 Corporation in Kissimmee, Florida, will be awarded to one lucky participant and includes round trip airfare to Florida and accommodations for two. The announcement of the winner will be made at the JSSI booth at NBAA on Wednesday, October 20th by legendary pilot and historical aviation icon, Mr. Robert A. "Bob" Hoover. Mr. Hoover, a former U.S Air Force test pilot, is considered to be one of the founding fathers of modern aerobatics and flew the Hoover P-51 Mustang at airshows around the country in the early 1960's.
