Win a Ride in a P-51

Filed in archive Airshows on May 27, 2005

Tunica, Mississippi may be best known for the number of casinos that populate the otherwise sparsely populated community. Thousands flock there every day in hopes of winning big money. However, June 4 one lucky person will win something that has nothing to do with casinos.

The Tunica Air Races are being held June 2-5, and if you purchase your ticket by Friday, June 3, you'll be automatically entered to win a ride in a classic P-51 Mustang!

The P-51 Mustang is the considered the best fighter plane of World War II. This "Cadillac" proved its worth against the axis troops and in postwar years continued to serve in the air force of more than 20 countries. Only 280 P-51's are still around and about half of those are still airworthy.

Topping out at more than 400 mph, this ride of a lifetime will surely leave you breathless!

The winner will be announced Saturday, June 4. You must be 18 years old or older to claim the prize.
