Happy 80th birthday to the de Havilland TIGER MOTH. There are still twenty of the old girls still flying over here.

I owned DH82A N9TM (Serial #PG680) for several years in the early 1980's. Last time I looked at the FAA Registration list the ship was still owned by the United Airlines captain (Certainly retired by now) I sold her to and, knowing him, she's still flying. A really fun aircraft to fly, just remember it's LEFT rudder on takeoff...the prop turns the other way. Actually makes hand proping (No electrical system) easier for a right handed person. Eventually decided I wanted something a bit more aerobatic and ended up with a Great Lakes 2T1A2.
