What to Expect

Prepare for an adventure of a life time and enjoy a taste of aviation as it used to be in the good old days of open cockpit and bi-planes.

Fliers will don a Biggles-style flying jacket, a headset and goggles for a spectacular trip in a vintage Tiger Moth aircraft. Once in the aircraft, your pilot will prepare the plane, the prop will spin and the familiar sound of the Tiger Moth engine will have you feeling you're in a bygone era. Then it's chocks away chaps!

Once airborne your pilot will put the plane on a course where you can enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding area. Then it's time for some hair raising aerobatics. From barrel rolls to loops and turns, this is the ultimate thrill-a-minute, roller coaster ride.

But beware; you'll need a cast iron stomach and a head for heights. Of course you can always let your pilot know that it's time to calm it down!
