Look What I will Soon Be Flying In
Hi Guys
Can't believe that I will soon be flying in a Tiger Moth! This sure is a chance of a lifetime being able to go for a ride!  Has anyone else got to go up in one? I am going to take a movie of my flight. Cheers Gary twinjet

Re: Look What I will Soon Be Flying In
When I was younger I got to ride in one at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in the 1980's...
Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome | America’s Original Living Museum of Antique Airplanes! The ride was a one-off, the plane wasn't a part of their collection (although they do regular rides in a 1929 New Standard pretty cheap.) It was a blast! Open cockpit is the way to go! Make the pilot at least do some aerobatic manuevers...best thing to ever happen to me was a hammerhead in an open cockpit plane! Having the plane just slow down and then fall over the wing...friggin' awesome. Also, not too much stress on the plane! Make sure you hold on to your camera in the plane...a hand strap is an almost must. And keep it out of the slip stream...shooting with the camera in and around your body will keep it from getting blasted by the wind and throw into the pilot's face behind you. Very bad form! Good luck and have fun!

Re: Look What I will Soon Be Flying In
I flew in one at Old Warden, a few years ago. They used to run a charity event where you could just turn up and they had a few owners there with their planes. All proceedes to the charity. The time I was there they had about 6 Tiger Moths, a DH Chipmunk and a Thruxton Jackaroo.
Enjoy your flight. |

Re: Look What I will Soon Be Flying In
Well I got up in the Tiger Moth last night!
Wow what a thrill flying in that! The evening's weather was just perfect! Here are a couple of pics, I'll post a movie clip soon. That's the world's longest fresh water beach below! Cheers Gary twinjet |

Re: Look What I will Soon Be Flying In
Hey newsnerd99
Thanks! I really liked being out in the open air! Can't wait to do it again! I wanted to post some clips of the flight but I'm having troble, I guess the files are to large. Cheers Gary twinjet |
