Oh well Peter 'I+d love to see any one of these beautiful aeroplanes appear on the sim. Maybe one day when i've enough time and no bl***y homework I'll settle down and give some of these a crack.
- Yes this was terrfic fun. The owner of G-AHOO leads his plane in fully Tiger-Moth display team "The Tiger Nine" - that perform at airshows across the UK. He was practising at his private airstrip in Wiltshire last April and rung up my farther at 8 in the morning and asked if I wanted a flight. My my dad told me - I pretty much exploded with excitement.
Their typical nine-ship display routine is as follows,
All aircraft take-off in 3 groups of three and form up - holding off for eight minutes approx. First run-in at 3 hundred feet in diamond nine shape. Second pass at 200 feet, then line up opposite corwd line. The formation reaches 90 knots, then does a 9-ship bomb-burst, a really impressive spectacle. The individual aircraft then make independant passes at 100 feet along the crowd-line, often with a wing-wobble. Sometimes, once all aircraft but G-AHOO have landed it commences a solo aerobatic routine, of a stall-turn, loop etc..
I'm glad to say I've been in the front seat whilst doing this. The feelings were incredible.
And if you want sharp grass like in my shots, try this:
