Air Experience Flights and Trial Lessons

Booking Your Flight
Delta Juliet, our 1933 Tiger Moth, operates from White Waltham Airfield, near Maidenhead, Berkshire. She flies from April to October , and is available both weekdays and weekends. Bookings can be made from early January for the coming season, and as weekends are generally more popular we recommend you book early to avoid disappointment.

What To Wear
We provide a warm sheepskin Irvin Flying Jacket, leather flying helmet and goggles, so no special clothing or equipment is required for the flight. Remember though, you will be spending time outside on an open airfield, so dress to suit the weather on the day.

Your Flying Lesson
The first few minutes after take-off will be spent climbing away from the airfield. This time is best spent looking at the fantastic view and enjoying the open cockpit experience.
Once clear of the airfield your instructor will demonstrate the controls of the aircraft and then guide you through some basic manoeuvres. When he says "You have control", YOU will be flying the Tiger Moth.

The Day Before
Call us the day before your flight to confirm you will be flying and to discuss any last minute queries you may have.
Operating vintage aircraft is weather dependant. We therefore monitor the weather forecasts during the days prior to our flying, in order to obtain an accurate picture of the likely conditions on the day.

Before Your Flight
You will be given a pre-flight briefing which will include details on the flying controls of the Tiger Moth, and how to communicate with your Instructor during your trial lesson. There will be ample opportunity for your family and friends to take pictures at the aircraft while you are being fitted out with the customary Irvin Flying Jacket and leather flying helmet. You will then be guided into the cockpit, strapped in and given a short safety briefing before take-off!
