A once-in-a-lifetime ride

The winner can schedule the experience with Stallion 51 Corp. up to 12 months after winning, and the prize includes a stipend toward travel expenses to Orlando, Florida, for the flight. Also included in the package are a Stallion 51 jacket and video of the experience.

The sweepstakes supports the nonprofit First Flight Society, which is intertwined with the history of American aviation. The society’s mission is to preserve the legacy of the Wright brothers and support the National Park Service at the Wright Brothers National Memorial. It also hosts the Dr. Paul E. Garber First Flight Shrine, which annually honors the great accomplishments in the history of aviation. Dr. Paul Garber was the first curator of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Each December 17, an inductee is honored with a portrait added to the shrine at the Wright Brothers National Memorial Visitor Center.

No purchase is necessary, although donations to the society increase the chance of winning. Entries will be accepted until December 17. Official rules are available on the First Flight Society’s website.
