It’s over 100 years ago now that these amazing bi-planes took to the skies to do battle but those heroic feats will never be forgotten. In fact, they live on loud and proud. And now you too can find out what it felt like to be in the skies in one of these iconic planes.
The Tiger Moth was designed by British aviation pioneer Geoffrey de Havilland in 1931 and used for RAAF pilot training.
You’ll take off in your Tiger Moth from Lilydale Airport at dawn just like the real-life pilots from the Royal Air Force who would launch at dawn to survey enemy troop positions.
Once airborne you can sit back and thrill at the views of Yarra Glen. Healesville. The Yarra River. Sugarloaf Reservoir. Steeles Hill. Warburton. Silvan. Mount Dandenong.
All from just 500 feet up in the air!
