Hi all,
Thinking of surprising the Old Man with a joy flight in a Tiger Moth when he holidays to the Goldie in a few months. Anyone suggest or reccomend a good operator? Obvisously there is Tiger Moth Joy Rides | Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia (http://www.tigermothjoyrides.com.au/). Are they ok? Any other Warbird type operators up there? He is not interested in aerobatics! (Know that from personal experience!).
Thanks in advance everyone

Your example is the only one I know of - they operate from a cow paddock at Pimpima and although the overall impression is of an old time barnstorming operation and the aircraft not restored to within an inch of their life, I haven't seen anything which would prevent me from flying with them - whatever that's worth:hmm:.

Might be a longer trip, but Warricks tiger at Redcliffe YRED is in great condition, although you would have to drive the hour to the north from the gold coast?:ok:

Head sout to Tyagarah (just north of Byron), nice drive and there are a couple of immaculate Tigers there, a formation sortie may even be possible ...
