Voted the Best Way to View the Gold Coast, I had to try it myself. Ventured up in an open cockpit plane from my father's war pilot days - and survived a half dozen loop de loops over DreamWorld!

The Tiger Moth Joy Ride was truly my best aerial sightseeing memory of a lifetime, bar none. I've sky dived from a Cessna, crewed for hot air balloon teams, logged hours in a range of fixed wing planes, whirled up in a helicopter, and am a certified glider pilot - but none of those compared to the eyes-wide-open thrill of viewing those red wings up side down!

Thanks to my Tiger Moth pilot Kirk Campbell, Mr. Full-on Acrobatic, for saving my breakfast with his smooth maneuvers. (Those pancakes turned flapjacks!)
