Stallion 51 Corporation

Stallion 51 Corporation is a FAA certified organization that conducts various flight operations in the P-51 Mustang and the T6 Texan. Created by visionaries Doug Schultz and Lee Lauderback in 1987, Stallion 51 has evolved to become the world-premier P-51 Mustang flight operation, which specializes in Orientation Flights, Checkout & Re-Current Training, Military Contracts, Unusual Attitude Training and Air Shows.

Stallion 51 has also expanded its horizon’s, to three other new and exciting divisions of the company: Texan Flight Operations, AvMed 51, and Group 51.

The heart of Stallion 51 is a state-of –the-art hangar facility located at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport in Kissimmee, FL and is the home to Crazy Horse and its sister-ship Crazy Horse 2 the dual-control / dual cockpit TF-51 Mustangs.

The Orientation Flight Program offers a rare and exhilarating experience! Whether you have little or no flight experience, you will be encouraged to do the majority of the flying accompanied by one of our highly experienced instructor pilots. The entire experience is captured on a 3-camera on-board high-resolution digital video system allowing you to share your experience with your friends and family for many years to come.

Checkout Training Program is a specialized course designed fro the owner / pilot or potential owner of a P-51 Mustang or similar high performance WWII fighter aircraft. The FAA, major insurance companies and respected members of the aviation community, endorse the course.

Re-Current Training Program is a program course designed for polishing up skills, reviewing procedures and practicing maneuvers annually with an experienced instructor that is necessary in any high performance warbird fighter aircraft.

Unusual Attitude Training Program is a specialized course program that is for pilots that wish to experience flight regimes that they normally do not experience in their routine day-to-day flying. The TF-51 has control pressures much like corporate and commercial airplanes and can be flown without pitch or bank restriction to replicate most aircraft’s possible flight envelope.

Air Shows are conducted across the country at various different air shows. The Mustang Demonstration is dedicated to the P-51 Mustang and its history as being arguably the most famous fighter of World War II. In addition to the Mustang Demonstration, Lee also participates in the USAF Heritage Flight Program. This unique demonstration includes close formation with the USAF best of the best: the A-10 Warthog, F-16 Viper and the F22 Raptor. The USAF Heritage Flight Program allows the public to see first-hand the heritage of the “old and the new” fighter aircraft and pays tribute to the legends of the past and the heroes of today.
