Have you always dreamed of jumping into a cockpit of a vintage tiger moth? Your dreams will become a reality as we take you on a flight of a lifetime in our vintage Tiger Moth DH82. During your 30 Minute Tiger Moth Joy Flight you will fly over the inspiring Glass House Mountains and the beautiful Bribie Island.
Your adventure will start with a meet and greet with your highly experienced tiger moth pilot. Your pilot will provide you with pre-flight briefing where you will learn about the aeroplane and its history.
During your safety briefing your pilot will teach you how to get in and out of the aircraft, what to do whilst flying and how to communicate using the historical hand signals. With your dream about to take place your pilot will map out your journey and tell you about the sights you will see as you fly across South-East Queensland.
With your journey mapped out and all of formalities out of the way its time to put on your authentic flying gear. You are sure to feel like a pilot in your flight jacket, goggles, helmet and scarf. Be sure to bring along your camera so that you can capture the moment.
After you have taken off you will begin to climb to an altitude of 2000ft and soaring as low as 500ft you will now get the opportunity to fly in an open cockpit. Your highlights will include the spectacular Bribie Island and its national park surrounds before flying over the majestic Glass House Mountains. 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.

"I would like to say a big thank you to Bryan for taking me on the 30 Minute Tiger Moth Joy Flight on Sunday! I had an amazing time and I want to go again! Bryan was very informative and pointed out towns and sights during the flight. I saw Bribie Island, Moreton Bay the Glasshouse Mountains and much more. At the end of the flight Bryan gave me a certificate which I am going to have framed. I would definitely recommend booking this flight, it was so much fun and I did feel like I stepped back in time. I can still feel the adrenalin!"

"I really enjoyed the Tiger Moth Joy Flight. I had never been on an open plane before and certainly enjoyed the experience. Brian was a great pilot. This was a very exhilarating experience, which really got my adrenalin pumping especially on take-off.
I have already recommended the Tiger Moth Joy Flight to others. Managing to get a number of great photos and video footage made it even more memorable. The personal service and info provided about the plane made me realise just how privileged I was to get a chance to fly in one of these historic planes.
I even got the opportunity to take the controls!! I don’t think I will become a pilot anytime soon but certainly look forward to another stint in a Tiger Moth. The steep turn on the edge of Bribie Island ensured I checked my harness was tight and felt my heart beating hard. Great fun !! "
