What to expectWhat to Expect

It's back to a bygone era of flight in a vintage plane such as the De Havilland Tiger Moth. You'll don a Biggles style aviation jacket, headset and goggles for an amazing aerobatics flight in a Tiger Moth. This is an adventure of a life time as it used to be in the good old days of open cockpits and bi-planes.

Once the prop begins spinning and the engine is up to full speed, it's chocks away chaps! Up, up and away! When you reach the correct height, it's time for some exciting but gentle aerobatic manoeuvres from spins to loops. In between the hair raising moments, they'll be time to enjoy the beautiful views of the Melbourne CBD, Albert Park Lake and surrounds.

Having a phobia of heights, I was hesitant at first. The (N.Z.) pilot made it more relaxing for me, and I really enjoyed the flight. I also did the aerobatics after the 45 minute flight, much to my amazement. I would recommend this flight to anyone (even those who fear flying like myself). The staff and services are first rate, and it was great to see a different perspective of Melbourne by air.

I don't know how it could be improved or bettered, as I believe it is conducted in a most professional manner. Perhaps brown corduroy pants or waders for the first time flier? An amazing experience that took me outside my comfort zone. Thank you.
