My wife bought me the Barnstorming flight as a surprise for my 50th. It turned out to be the best gift ever! Flying, thrills and the mountains are real passions of mine, and the barnstorm flight in the 1941 Tiger Moth gave me all three...More
We really appreciate your feedback. Pete always says he has the best job in the world and we always enjoy the people that walk through our door to go flying in our gorgeous vintage biplanes. Don't forget to call in and say hello when you...More
This was a special treat as part of our Honeymoon visit to New Zealand. It was incredible, so much fun, so well organised and WOW the views. What a way to see Lake Wanaka it was breathtaking. I particularly enjoyed being persuaded to do a...More
Thanks for your feedback. We get a lot of honeymoon couples come to the flights - either in the Waco together or side by side in the 2 Tigermoths. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday in our beautiful country.
I'd like to thank with my whole heart Pete and Julie for creating memories that will last a lifetime. You simply cannot visit Wanaka without taking one of their vintage aircraft out for a view over Lake Wanaka that'll make your heart ache. My wife...More
Thanks for the great feedback. We agree, it is THE perfect way to view Wanaka from above in one our open cock-pit biplanes. Our "mini museum"is forever growing as we acquire new pieces of aviation history to add to the small collection. Thanks again for...More
If you have learned to fly a tiger moth or would like to try, get yourself to Wanaka and enjoy time with Peter in his fantastic plane. I have flown 8 or 9 times now and love every minute from take off to landing. Peter...More
Many thanks for the feedback Patrick. As you know Pete's favorite aircraft are his beautiful old tiger moths and he loves any opportunity to take them out flying - particularly with fellow pilots. Look forward to seeing you back in Wanaka again in the near...More
After many email exchanges in which I succeeded in thoroughly confusing Julie of Classic flights, finally I did the 20 min flight in the Tiger Moth in October. It was a very interesting experience, the only thing I can tell you is, the flight will...More
I was given a trip with Classic Flights for my 60th birthday. The whole experience from start to finish was great. It was great to see Wanaka and the Lake from a biplane and experience the open cockpit with the wind and noise of the...More
George thanks for taking the time to write us a review. Pleased you enjoyed your 60th birthday present - we sure enjoyed meeting you and taking you flying.
A barnstorming flight in a Tiger Moth has been on my bucket list for a long time and I have often nearly done it close to home but then I saw the ad for classic flights at lake Wanaka with the photo of the old...More
Thanks for your feedback. We would have to agree that to fly in an old vintage plane over Wanaka is sometimes quite surreal - we live here because it is so beautiful and we love to be able to share this breathtaking place with our...More
I decided to treat myself on our trip - wow, wow and wow! The staff were amazing, the aeroplanes just stunning! I love World War 2 history - I have now sat in the seat used by some of my heroes. I cannot emphasise how...More
Thanks Phil. Its quite thought provoking isn't it when you sit in the seat of the Tigermoths and close your eyes and imagine just what life must have been like in this bygone era. Thanks for experiencing a piece of nostalgia with us and hope...More
I have spent 42 years of my life flying and 37 professionally. Last year I went out for the Barnstormer flight and enjoyed it so much I came back again for another flight. When you go through the front door of the office the first...More
Bill, was so great to see you again and the fact you enjoyed it just as much the second time was such a compliment - by the sounds of it we may just be seeing you again in another few years too!! Thanks for the...More
The Tiger Moth biplane rides were an absolute blast! The planes were beautiful, weather perfect, the flight suits, jackets, helmet - all felt authentic for the occasion. The 20 minute ride over Lake Wanaka was spectacular and once in a lifetime. The two of us...More
Thanks for your comments Peter. Getting 2 tiger moths out flying together is just an awesome experience. May they continue to grace our skies for many years to come yet!
