AOPA COVER!
We’re proud to announce that ScaleWings’ SW-51 graces the front cover of the August 2025 issue of AOPA PILOT magazine, just in time for AirVenture Oshkosh!
This feature follows our first Mustang Fightertown Gathering in Fredericksburg, TX, where five SW-51s were on display and AOPA conducted an in-depth flight test. The event also marked the introduction of our North American delivery partner, TacAero, providing expert support, maintenance, and top-tier transition training for SW-51 owners.
Senior editor Dave Hirschman, having flown the original P-51D, shares his impressions, highlighting the SW-51’s responsive handling and modern refinement – all while honoring the spirit of the legendary WWII Mustang.
At ScaleWings, we’re driven by a deep respect for the P-51 and a passion to carry its legacy into the skies of today. Check out a copy and read Dave’s frank, and colorful comments about his experience with the SW-51.
AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 | Come See Us At AOPA’s Booth 463
ScaleWings is thrilled to announce our participation at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 (July 21–27), the world’s greatest aviation celebration. We’re proud to be featured at the booth of AOPA (#463), located near the iconic Brown Arch.
AOPA is one of the most respected and influential institutions in aviation, representing hundreds of thousands of pilots and aircraft owners worldwide. For decades, AOPA has been a steadfast advocate for general aviation, providing invaluable resources, training, advocacy, and inspiration to the flying community.
Being invited to exhibit with AOPA is an honor that speaks volumes about the growing recognition of the SW-51 MUSTANG, our carbon fiber tribute to the legendary P-51. We’ll have two aircraft on display, offering attendees an up-close look at the precision engineering and historic spirit that define the SW-51.
We are deeply grateful to EAA for its unwavering commitment to builders, pilots, and aviation enthusiasts – a commitment that continues to shape the industry. No organization brings the global aviation community together like EAA. AirVenture Oshkosh was also the turning point for ScaleWings: in the summer of 2022, EAA gave us with the privilege of flying the SW-51 in the opening day airshow and gave us a prime booth location at show center. That moment marked the beginning of our journey – and we can’t wait to return.
Whether you’re a longtime admirer of the Mustang or new to the ScaleWings story, we invite you to meet our team, see the aircraft in person, and experience the passion behind our mission to honor and reimagine one of aviation’s most iconic warbirds.
See you at OSH25 – AOPA Booth #463!
