Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum – Tiger Moth Flight and Visit #1

July 8, 2020 · in Aviation · · 22 · 2.9K

As things start opening up, I was lucky enough to be able to book a flight as a passenger on a de Havilland at The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario - First time taking a flight other than being an airline passenger.

Amazing experience, tough part was selecting an aircraft, which ended up being the Tiger Moth.

Talk about agile - I was able to bank a few times and do a few turns, amazing how sensitive the controls are. If I am lucky enough to book a second flight (whenever that will be) I will probably select the /Texan.

Also lucky enough to see the taken out for an engine run - apparently only 2 Lancs flying these days.

Also was able to see an actual windscreen from one of the original CF-105 AVRO Arrows.

Many others will be in a second post.
