She may be steeped in flying history but the 1940s de Havilland Tiger Moth also
makes an excellent aerobatics aircraft. Our Tiger Moth Aerobatics Joy Flight
will have you experiencing manoeuvres include loops, barrel rolls, wing overs,
and stall turns.All that in the open cockpit bi-plane that is the Tiger Moth.
The Tiger Moth Aerobatic Flight also doubles as a scenic flight and takes you
over the quiet country side of south-west Sydney with views to the Blue Mountains.
Donning a leather flying helmet and goggles ready for a flight of pure nostalgia
flying high above the bustle of modern life, it is easy to imagine it is 1940
again.
The Tiger Moth Aerobatic Flight departs from Camden, with the flight taking
in views of the Blue Mountains, Lake Burragorang, and Warragamba Dam. We typically
return to the airport following the Nepean River at low level of 500ft. Along
the way you'll experience the manoeuvres that makes this a thrilling aerobatic
joy flight. Loops, barrel rolls, wing overs and stall turns will have you haning
on tight.
