Details: The Club offers pilots from all over the world the opportunity to experience flying vintage aircraft - as well as aerobatics, formation flying and air racing. The Tiger Club was founded in 1957 with the aim of encouraging all aspects of sport flying.

Trial Flights
A flight in a Tiger Moth is one of the most thrilling experiences you can find, particularly as during our flights you will be flying the aircraft! Soar through the lovely Kent skies in a classic British biplane from the 1930’s and the golden age of flying.

Flights are undertaken from Headcorn, Kent with a Qualified Flying Instructor and will last between 20 - 40 minutes. The Tiger Club also has Gift Vouchers available, which make a flight an ideal birthday, anniversary or Christmas gift. Please bring your family and friends along on the day to enjoy the experience with you.

Prices
Prices start from £149 for 20 minutes, £199 for 30 minutes and flights can be up to 40 minutes for £249.

The instructors are experienced pilots and tutors. The plane has dual control and you can be safe in the knowledge that you have expert assistance. If you still have doubts, simply lean back, look at the sky and enjoy the flight as a passenger.

The Tiger Club will provide you with a flying helmet, please bring along warm clothing.
