Experience the breath-taking views of Perth’s beautiful beaches in one of the Club’s 1940s-built de Havilland Tiger Moths. This is an extremely popular joy flight option and a unique way to experience our city. We are one of Western Australia’s only aero clubs to have a vintage 1940s Tiger Moth plane.

What to expect
On the day of your flight, your pilot will start by giving you a brief history of this fabulous vintage flying machine and a safety briefing. Then you’ll be strapped into the cockpit of the Tiger Moth, complete with leather helmet and goggles, to experience an unparalleled view – from take-off to touchdown.
Once you leave the Jandakot Airport, the Tiger Moth will head out to Fremantle, then meander up the coast, taking in all the sights and coastal views. Enjoy the wind in your hair at 1,500 feet!
Finally, arriving back at Jandakot, as one of the few people who have flown in this amazing old lady of the sky, you will be presented with a certificate of membership to the exclusive Tiger Club.

Tiger Moth Brief History
Our classic de Havilland Tiger Moth was built in the 1930s Once flown by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a primary training aircraft under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, the Tiger Moth introduced thousands of military pilots to the thrill of flight. The de Havilland Tiger Moth (DH82A) is an iconic British plane, first flown in 1931 but became a trainer after being replaced in the 1950s. It was extensively operated by the Australian Royal Air Force between 1940 and 1957 for training. The Royal Australian Navy also operated a small number between 1948 and 1958.
