An open cockpit, the wind in your hair and the sound of the timeless propeller all come together for an experience like no other.

From the moment you first spot this legend of the skies and marvel at the simplicity of the frame to the iconic bi-wings, be captivated like so many before you.

And just as you think things can't get any more exciting, you feel the wheels leave the ground, the iconic marvel taking to the skies like a majestic bird.

It won't matter whether you're flying across the city's rooftops or high above the treetops of the country, with a tiger moth flight, the magic is in the incredible aircraft, the incredible landscape secondary to the magical flight itself. If you only ever choose one flight experience, make it a vintage Tiger Moth. It will be an experience of a lifetime and a memory you will never forget.

A vintage Tiger Moth flight typically lasts between 20 and 45 minutes, during which you can expect to experience the thrill of flying in an open-cockpit biplane. The Tiger Moth is a classic 1930s design, and flying in one offers a unique opportunity to experience what it was like to fly during that era. You will have a view of the surrounding scenery that is unparalleled in modern, enclosed aircraft. The flight will likely take place in the daytime, and you will likely be able to see the countryside and local landmarks from a bird's-eye view. The flight has the pilot in the rear and you in the front seat, and you'll receive a brief on the safety and flight details before take-off. Often you'll wear old regalia, such as a flight jacket and leather cap.

The Tiger Moth has a maximum speed of around 160 km/h, and a range of about 500 km. It is powered by a single de Havilland Gipsy II inline engine, which produces around 130 horsepower. The aircraft has a wingspan of 8.8 meters and is just under 7.3 meters long.

The Tiger Moth is considered to be a very stable aircraft, with responsive controls and is perfect for recreational flights.
