Our Aircraft

All our aircraft are meticulously maintained with our Tiger Moths being fully restored to as new condition. Both our Tiger Moths served in the RAAF in WWII for pilot training. The CT4 Airtrainer was sold by the RAAF in 1993 and underwent a major upgrade process over several years to bring it up to Charter category standard while maintaining the original RAAF instrumentation and colour scheme. In fact, Garry Herne flew this aircraft several times while on RAAF pilots course in the mid 80s.The Yak 52 is a 1991 model built for the Russian Air Force, making it one of the newest Yaks in Australia, Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union this aircraft was placed in storage straight after manufacture until 1997 when it was imported to Australia. This aircraft carries its original colour scheme and is complete with Russian instrumentation and radios. The Yak 52 is now operating from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport and if you are visiting that area and want to fly the Yak 52 please see byronairadventures.com.au.

"Thanks had a great time, the staff at the flight club were polite and courteous. Had a great time, nervous with the aerobatics, probably not my thing. Like the flying, normal stuff. Thanks, will recommend it to others."

★★★★★ 5/5

My husband enjoyed this experience so much that he took quite some time to stop smiling once he landed. All he kept saying was "I've done loops in a tiger moth". I think he will remember this experience for a long time and now he thinks it's my turn. Thanks for a great birthday present.

★★★★★ 4.8/5

I just loved the Tiger Moth flight on Saturday! My pilot was easy going and informative, and even though we did the acrobatics there were no surprises and I'd do it again given half a chance. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys that "freedom" feeling with the breeze in your hair!

★★★★★ 4.8/5

I really enjoyed the flight. the pilot clearly eplained all necesssary procedures and what would be happening. my time up in the air passed so quickly. location was great. i would recommend a tiger moth flight with moderate aerobatics to any one. Good fun, acrobatics being the highlight! Very friendly staff. Worth EVERY CENT ... one of the greatest thrills of my life.
