Tiger Moth Flights

Fly back to the 1940's in one of our vintage open cockpit bi-planes!

1940 de Havilland Tiger Moth

Let the wind blow through your hair.. sit back, relax and enjoy as you go back in time to an era of romance and nostalgia...

Most Tiger Moth bi-planes in Australia are privately owned so the chance of a flight in one is relatively rare. Luckily it's an opportunity Airborne Aviation can offer, we have three aircraft available!

DH82A Tiger Moth

Donning a leather flying helmet and goggles ready for a flight of pure nostalgia, whether experiencing the thrill of aerobatics or simply flying high above the bustle of modern life, it is easy to imagine it is 1940 again.
