Description

Enjoy the freedom and adventure of aviation with this sensational 30 minute Tiger Moth flight in East Sussex. Following a concise pre-flight briefing, put on a Biggles-style flying jacket before jumping into the cockpit of an affectionately restored vintage De Havilland Tiger Moth. Once in the sky, feel the unique sensation of sitting in an open cockpit whilst taking in spectacular bird’s-eye views. During the flight (subject to weather conditions, and at the pilot’s discretion), the pilot will perform some thrilling aerobatic stunts and there will be a chance to take over the controls and experience vintage aviation first-hand. Back on terra firma, receive a flight certificate to take home.
