Django,
If you are really wanting to ride in a P-51 you may consider the Indiana Aviation Museum in Valparaiso, IN. The museum is only 1 hr to 1hr 30 minutes from down town Chicago. The ride is 30 minutes of which 20 is airborne. I believe the price is $1,000. For more info go to www.in-am.org.

Well, Scott you could head over here to the Hossier State and take a ride in a beautiful T-28 for $500 at my favorite aviation museum. Every time I see that plane fly I wish I had a spare $500 bucks.

Might be stretching the Warbird tag slightly but.......I hope to get a flight in a Avro Anson,Gloster Meteor and / or de Havilliand Vampire this year. With a flight in a DC3 and de Haviland Rapide,thrown in for good measure! 
In my defence ,the early versions of the Anson and Meteor flew in WW2....
Cheers, Alan.
Ps .If I am really lucky, I might get invited to fly in a EE Canberra..........

I am pretty sure I will be flying in the S-2 this year, probably a T-6/SNJ if I get a chance. There are only about 3 airplanes left that I would die for a ride in, which are a P-47, B-25 and a B-29. But I will never turn down an airplane ride. Also, if anybody is interested, if everything goes according to plan this winter we will be offering rides in our S-2 this summer.

Not to thow a wet blanket on everybody's parade, but Craig's comment reminds me to advise anyone that is going for a ride to be sure of the pilot's capabilities.
If the pilot operates rides for one of the organizations that regularly fly rides (ie: CAF, Collings, EAA etc.), there should be no concern, but there are many different skill levels out there and over the years there are more than a few pilots that I did NOT to ride with, even though they kindly offered me a unique opportunity.
There are a couple of well known, long time, warbird owners that I actually know and like, but would never fly with them.
Blue skies,
Jerry

I'd donate a limb for medical testing purposes if I could go for a warbird ride! I think it would be an absolutely amazing experience and my fingers are crossed that something will come up this year!

Think about coming down here for a couple of days over the weekend. I might be able to hook you up with a T28 ride. While you're not flying, you can hang out in SF and shop or something, chicks dig that stuff heheheeeee
I feel for you Stephanie, I lived in Vancouver for about 3 and a half zillion years, Mommy still lives in Camas....Ugggghhhhhhhh, As a great comedian once said,
"Do you want to live forever? Move to Vancouver. Every day there is like a frickin eternity"
heheheeeee

That's way too funny! I am originally from Camas, small world. A T28 ride would be completely amazing! And I've never been to California! I am actually getting ready to leave Vancouver this year, moving to Houston, so it'll be nice to see a different part of the country for a while!

If you want, PM me with a month, febuary, march, something like that, and I'll ask God if he has a date.
