60 minute Tiger Moth Trial Lesson
Overview
Jump into a 1930s flying classic and experience the start of a WWII fighter pilot’s journey high above the English countryside with this 60 minute Tiger Moth Trial Lesson.
The de Havilland Tiger Moth was the ideal training aircraft for budding RAF pilots, forgiving in the early stages of flight while requiring skill and concentration to get the most out of the vehicle. As you’ll be sitting in an open cockpit you’ll feel the wind through your hair as you cruise at altitude, and you’ll be thankful the Tiger Moth can ‘only’ go 109mph at top speed! You’ll be fully kitted out to keep you from being too cold, and your WWII-style parachute will help you get into the fighter pilot mindset.
An expert pilot will take you through the manoeuvres necessary to navigate the air above Ashford, and you’ll even be able to take the controls yourself for a bit of hands-on flight time too.

60 minute Tiger Moth flight.
This was a birthday present which I was really looking forward to. The weather was good and I flew in a 1934 Tiger Moth down to Folkestone, along to Dover and past the White Cliffs before turning back and undertaking the return journey. A particular highlight was a couple of tight turns round the Battle Of Britain Memorial at Capel le Ferne. My pilot, John, was really friendly and made me very welcome. This was an absolutely fabulous gift experience and one I would recommend.

Tiger Moth Experience - Headcorn
Five star every step of the way. People on the phone were patient and informative, when I arrived, couldn't have been made to feel more welcome, catered for my spectator family like they were old friends. Richard, the pilot, was so welcoming, happy to chat about a multitude of things, great tour guide and clearly loved what he did. When we landed, he told me to stay in the plane while they brought my family out for photos. Then we had coffee and tea in the hut before a shake of hands as we left.

A great experience
The people at Aero legends were really friendly and made sure your experience went smoothly. Got kitted out with flying jacket, hat and goggles 2 way radio to speak with the pilot. Then off down the runway and away. A little buffeting do to the weather but other wise great views of my local area. I also flew the aircraft for about 30 mins. The location was very good also, a café serving great food and a balcony overlooking the airfield, Overall a very good experience.

Loved it
A great experience, marred by miscommunication which resulted in a four hour wait and lack of video of the flight. Subsequent hassle in getting a refund for the lack of film. The ground staff were first class as was the Pilot. I would recommend the experience to any fit 80 plus year old with a lust for life!
