March 10, 200818 yr #11 Author Well it was a good day, even if it was a little windy. Its been about 40 years since Dad flew a Tiger, and he was very nervous. After a slow struggle of a take off into a big head wind they were off. I took plenty of pics, the aerobatics were about 5 miles away and the long lens on my camera couldn't quite snap it. As the plane doesn't have enough grunt to perform the tricks it has to use momentum and washes off about 3500 feet. They did 3 loops, couple of barrels and a couple of stall turns. Looked well fierce from the ground.He had a blast, best 200$ I've spent on a bday pressie. This plane was built in Australia in 1940, but I think it still is a wonderful looking beast. I can highly recommend it... finished the day off with some fish n chips at Sutton's beach watching the kite surfers, they were getting massive air, very entertaining.FelixDicky grin says it all I guess.
