Last October I got a tiger ride voucher for my birthday and took it last saturday. A bit cool but a great time was had, flew it a bit and then was treated to a couple of loops, wing-over and a stall turn, fly-by for friends. Thanks Ryan, will do it again in the summer

Great photos, and it looks like perfect weather for it.

I got a voucher for Xmas a wee while ago and Ryan took me up in Tiger ZK-BFH (best present ever). Acrobatics in a tigermoth is something really special, I liked it when your upside down and u look up to see the ground, theres no wing area above you  . |

I loved my ride in the RNZAF's Tiger Moth back in about 1992, doing aerobatics over Christchurch. Great fun. The Wing Commander flying it, who's name I never got, and whom I'd never seen before and never saw again, was great. he asked me if i wanted to fly it, I said no (too busy taking photos and holding on for grim life) but he said "This might be your only chance, you have control." I'm glad he forced me into it, as it was really neat to have a fly, and he even talked me very gently through a few aeros which was wicked. Not bad for the first time I ever flew anything to be able to say it was in a pristine RNZAF Tiger Moth I guess. I'm forever indebted to that nice Wing Commander.
