Just a few shots I took using a freeware Tiger Moth I found. It's outstanding, and very detailed in my honest opinion. Enjoy!


Just giving myself a tour


Banking, turning to the heading of the city of Honolulu.


Toying around, attempting to see how much the Moth can take


I need to pick up a pair of goggles down at the shop.. Eyes are watering like there's no tomorrow

Love #1! You have a very unique style to your shots, with a slight blueish tint... I love them... Great work, keep it up.

Blue!!!!!!
Very cool, I also like the first one 8-)

Ditto.

But there is something strange about the last one. I can see it better with my glasses off.

Awesome shots Jake...well done...

Many World War One Aviators and Aces flew with just the goggles and not the entire leather flying helmet so they could feel the wind in their hair.

When I go flying in a biplane like the Great Lakes or Stearman I seldom use a leather flying helmet, just goggles a white silk scarf and a whisky flask...
I am the passenger or observer of course...

I have several black and brown flying helmets with goggles out at the old homestead...our sons use them sometimes.
It looks rather odd getting out of a Cessna 172 or 185 with them on...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thank you very much Doug. I've flown in a Bi-plane before, but never in something like this, just a modern day Pitts. It was pretty intense, but had canopies(obviously). I can't imagine how neat it must be to fly in something like a stearman, with just a pair of goggles and the wind blowin' through your hair

Good morning all...

Larry you old devil you...

Of course you only take it to Church meetings...

Jake I learned to fly on the De Havilland Tiger Moth and an old Curtiss/DeHavilland DH-4 Jenny...every wood, fabric and piano wire braced biplane sings a sweet song when they are trimmed.
It took awhile...a few smacks to the back of the head by dad, grandfather or one of my older brothers but I soon learned to tell by the sound of the flying wires if I was flying her properly.

The best way to learn to fly is by getting your head outside the cockpit, in other words stop staring at the instruments and listen to the wind outside and watch the horizon...you can even do that in a Cessna Thrifty 150...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
