1. THREE STANGS AT SUN ‘N FUN: The SW-51 times three
SUN ‘n FUN 2026, Lakeland Linder Airport, FL, is just around the corner… stop by our Booth LD-11 as every year, and say hello! We’ve poured our passion into carrying the soul of the legendary P-51 into the 21st century, and one look at the SW-51 up close tells you exactly why. This year we’re excited to show you the evolution of our program: from Gold to Platinum, Carlex Italian Leather and our new larger MT-propeller MTV-22, we are officially launching the MUSTANG MK II 🔥
Also make sure to check out the amazing setup of our partners Crewchief Systems at booth MD-005D, where you can find another SW-51 on display. We are thrilled to have recently partnered with Crewchief to deliver unprecedented aircraft data intelligence to our SW-51 owners and are looking forward to sharing more with you there.
SUN ‘n FUN is one of our favorite weeks of the year – there’s nothing like the high-octane energy of the GA community finally reuniting to talk shop and celebrate aviation after the winter lull. We’re counting down the days, and hope to see you there!

3. THAT FIGHTER FEELING: The Engineering of the P-38.
At ScaleWings, we have a deep appreciation for the engineering brilliance that defined aviation’s golden age, and few aircraft capture that spirit quite like the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. With its twin booms, counter-rotating props, and turbosupercharged layout that was decades ahead of its time, the P-38 is a reminder that some of the boldest design decisions in aerospace history were made under the pressure of wartime necessity. If you share our obsession with the machines that shaped modern flight, you’re going to love this deep-dive video on the insane engineering behind the P-38.
