Tiger Moth World??????????

I'm starting to get a little irritated by this outfit, does anyone else feel this way?

I've been spending Easter on my Yacht at beautiful Queenscliffe. Every day we get a visit from Tigermoth world, yesterday even towing a sign advertising their flights.

Trouble is that for the life of me I don't think they are maintaining 500 feet.

And to top it off, last night we had three young guys killed on the causeway to the island, woke for a pee at 3.00am and police lights everywhere.

So this morning, the first news helicopter showed at about 7.30 am. By 9.30 we had about four, as well as the police heli, presumably with the coroner on board.

So at about 10.30 what do we have? Thats right - TGW flying overhead the accident site, below news choppers and blowing smoke to drum up "trade". This is not only tasteless, its bloody unsafe, just like the powered paragliders from Barwon Heads.

I rate this outfit as just below jet skis in its nuisance value.

P.S. I get overflown by the Tigers from Point Cook most weekends and they seem a lot higher than these TGW guys.
