About two years ago it had landing gear failure and the 80 year old passenger not only got a joy flight but a perfect belly landing for his troubles. It can be found on youtube.
We also have a pair of CHinese WWII fighter trainers here in Adelaide that do 30 min flights for about $450. Not quite a P51 but still pretty cool.

Yeah I think two grand is a bit much. I would imagine a big chunk of it is for insurance. I'm guessing the Australian gentleman doesn't worry too much about that side of it.
