Jump into the open cockpit of a vintage Tiger Moth and fly off into a bygone area complete with authentic flying jacket, goggles, helmet and scarf. Enjoy uninterrupted views of Bribie Island before flying over Queensland’s famous Sunshine Coast and then across to the majestic Glass House Mountains!

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 just explaining 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 and Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast. 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by It was in fact a great experience which I will never forget The experience was exhilarating, the pilot was full of information and friendly. He included my viewing family members in a meaning full way. The scenery looking down on Bribie Island and flying through the Glasshouse mountains was fantastic. I felt very safe in the Tiger Moth and was allowed a stint at the controls. 6 May 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great experience for aerophiles coupled with nostalgia The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The pilot gave a very sure sense of capability and fully briefed me on all aspects of the flight. Being asked to assist in the manoeuvring of the aircraft and stowage in the hangar, coupled with the open cockpit and loaned leather helmet with goggles all added to the experience of yesteryear. 23 January 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Reccomend something to hang onto when scared. I will definately go again I enjoyed myself, but maybe when it is not so windy. 14 June 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 This was my first flight in an open cockpit plane, and would totally recommend this flight to anybody. The only negative, the flight was not long enough, my hour went very quickly, I could have stayed up for hours. I do intend to go up again, this time during Winter, when the air is cleaner and crisper. I wish to thank the pilot Nick for a very memorable experience. 6 May 2012
