Tiger Moth Flights, QUEENSLAND
Airing Date: Jan 1st, 2002
The fun begins at the Surfers Paradise International Raceway, six kilometres from Conrad Jupiters, where you're strapped in one of the five operating Tiger Moths.
Once airborne, you climb to an altitude of about 500 metres.
For the true daredevil, it's also possible to request aerobatics, such as loop-the-loops, wingovers and rollovers. Just be sure not to eat too much beforehand. The joy flights go for anything between 15 and 45 minutes, and travel over spectacular coastal scenery. Make sure you bring your camera for some amazing panoramic photographs. The facts
