Tear into the sky above the Yarra Valley in a beautifully restored 1943 de Havilland Tiger Moth, where approximately 30 minutes of open cockpit flying leaves nothing between you and the wind. Once your pre flight briefing is done, you will pull on a flying helmet, goggles, headset and leather jacket and climb in behind an experienced commercial pilot.

The biplane lifts off from the aerodrome and drops low across the valley, tracing the twists of the Yarra River towards Healesville with vineyards, farmland and the ridgelines of the Yarra Ranges streaming past below. Then comes the part you came for. Your pilot climbs to a safe altitude and rolls straight into a finale of loops, barrel rolls and wingovers, the horizon spinning while the engine hums and the slipstream tugs at your goggles. This is vintage aviation with a serious kick, flown by a pilot who knows exactly how to make an old biplane dance. Strap in, pull your goggles down and hold on.
