Jump into the open cockpit of a vintage tiger moth and fly off into a bygone era complete with authentic flying jacket, goggles, helmet and scarf. Enjoy uninterrupted views of Bribie Island before flying over the majestic Glass House Mountains in stunning South-East Queensland!
On the day of your flight, you'll be met at the airfield by your highly experienced tiger moth pilot. To begin your experience, you will receive a pre-flight briefing in which you will learn about the aeroplane and its history. Next is a safety briefing where you will learn how to get in and out of the aircraft, what to do whilst flying and how to communicate using the historical hand signals and finally a route briefing to explain where you will be flying on the day and what to look out for.
You will then be outfitted in the authentic flying gear of a Tiger Moth passenger including flying jacket, goggles, helmet and scarf – now is a great opportunity for photos to be taken with the plane on the ground.
After waving goodbye to any family or friends, we will then buckle up and prepare for take-off. Climbing to an altitude of 2000ft and soaring as low as 500ft you will now get the opportunity to fly in an open cockpit. Scenic highlights include the spectacular Bribie Island and its national park surrounds before flying over the majestic Glass House Mountains. You are free to take as many photos as you like whilst enjoying this amazing experience.
This scenic flight is for pure enjoyment and relaxation, you will not be subjected to death defying acrobatics or stomach churning diving – however you may request some gentle wingovers.
This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

October 11 2010I arrived at Camden airport at around 07.30 on a cold, wet, Monday morning to experience the flight of the 'Tiger Moth'. We were greeted by two beautiful aircraft sitting outside hanger 53 - one yellow and one red. Obviously I chose the yellow 'Tiger Moth' because everyone knows that yellow is always faster than red. My pilot introduced us both and we hit it off from the start (Yellow and I).

The Tiger Moth flight was terrific and thanks to my pilot Bryan

I have done a few RedBalloon experiences now but enjoyed this one the most by far, and I thought the others were excellent. I might even shout myself a couple more goes. The team with the Tigermoth joyflight were really great to deal with and very experienced, I have already told all my workmates to give it a go.
-
Even though the flight was purchased by my daughter, I should have done it 40 years ago. It is the only way to fly, and to really enjoy it all.
-
Very enjoyable nostalgic ! Thank you Nick.

Excellent experience good fun. They need must better signage, very hard to find the actual hangar and that detracts from the experience.

Hi, I had to reschedule for today from last Sunday in which Aero Dynamic were more than obliging. I had a fantastic time , It was amazing flying, a machine like that with an open cockpit. Flying out over Bribie was beautiful and then to hold the joystick and fly the plane myself was a great feeling. I would like my friends and family to share the same experience.

It was really good as a low hours student pilot I was able to fly the Tiger Moth for a good part of the 30 minutes. The intercom was very basic and most of the time I was unable to hear Ken in the back but this only added to the experience as it felt like we where back in 1941 when the plane was built communicating by a tap on the shoulder much pointing, waving, thumbs up or a rattle on the control stick.

Fantastic, I now want to learn to fly :-)

Fantastic in every respect. Nick my pilot was a thorough professional, considerate and conscientious as well. The plane was clean and presented perfectly and the weather and conditions perfect. What more could I have asked for. A thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. Many thanks
-
This experience was for my Dad and he LOVED it! He said the flight was incredible, and the pilot was extremely friendly and willing to share his knowledge and answer our questions. The whole experience was wonderful; both for my Dad and us to see him enjoy himself so much. Thank you!

We gave the tigermoth flight to our girlfriend for her birthday and she absolutely loved it. Red Balloon sent her a beautifully presented gift voucher with a photo of the tigermoth and all the details of the flight which was fantastic. On completion of the flight her pilot Nick who by the way was an absolute delight gave her a certificate. Will definitely use RedBalloon website again.

This was a the best birthday present I have had.
