Felix Large Member Member 564 Member For: 18y 2m 21d Location: Brisvegas Posted 18/01/08 04:35 AM Share Posted 18/01/08 04:35 AM Was hoping someone might know of somewhere I can get a joy flight in a warbird of some description? Queensland.I've only found two so far, Tiger Moth (bit lame) and a Yak 52.Its for my Dad's birthday, he wanted to fly in a Spitfire, but there are only two in Australia, and one is owned by the Westfield dude I think.Any ideas?Felix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41778-fly-a-warbird/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 18/01/08 09:29 AM Share Posted 18/01/08 09:29 AM a Spit is a big ask...Flew a wingeel out of Kalgoorlie once, (Hardly a warbird...) took the tail number and turned out my old man had flow the exact one in the RAAF 30 years earlier...Old mate would take anyone up for $50.

You can have a restored flight ready one for 2.5million... or a 3/4 size replica for about 300k.I saw a ME BF 109 for 2mil fully restored and came with weapons... 20mm and the 7.9mm guns.Felix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41778-fly-a-warbird/#findComment-622391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpen Poison Fish. Poison Fish. TASTY FISH!!! Donating Members 5,181 Member For: 22y 1m 11d Gender: Male Location: The Bogan Shire Posted 18/01/08 10:15 AM Share Posted 18/01/08 10:15 AM I didn't think any genuine germans 109's remain? Only the spanish (was it Hispanio?) version built under licence?The Spit's at Temora are both flying, two of very few in the world. Even standing still they are simply gorgeous. Though much, much larger than expected.Lumpy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41778-fly-a-warbird/#findComment-622400 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordz xr6 fan Member 44 Member For: 17y 5m 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 18/01/08 12:39 PM Share Posted 18/01/08 12:39 PM Hmmmm A P51-D Mustangs go alright don't no about them in Queensland but I'm sure there would be a few.Tiger Moth goes alright I had a full aerobatic flight in one of them when I was 12 was a thrill especially the stall turn then spiral towards the ground. LOVED IT.I suggest the Mustang they are slightly newer and sorta stuck it up the Germans when they escorted bombers in to drop bombs on Berlin, go faster to.
