My very first flight was in my dads tiger moth about 60 years ago , my last flight was in the left seat of a 777 coming home from Australia. Thanks for the great video.
That's a great life then interesting .. Kim the owner of this plane retired from Virgin as a captain received a payout during the world problem .. Had enough after 37 years ..
@@kevinandgemma7740 i flew a lot of very long haul flights for the last 25 years of it . Very exhausting. I am very happy to be retired but miss a lot of wonderful people and the fun …I sure don’t miss the responsibility of it all though.

Wow I love planes and what a beautiful day.. nothing better than to be up and feel that breeze and looking down .wow I am jealous.. God bless. He what is speed on that aircraft. Top speed.
I am afraid of heights ... and flying even in big planes makes me think of all that space underneath the carpet .. nevertheless some time ago I told my stunned girlfriend . to think of roaming the skies in a Tiger Moth makes me hum with delight 🌹:)
Owning this plane for 34 years he knows how to fly it nice and safe .. Kim's career as 37 years in airlines also helps retired last year..Thank you for watching 👍👍

I have no idea how much oil a relatively new engine of this type is expected to burn, but a liter in two hours sounds alarming to me.
