Harvard Flight Experience

The Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association (CHAA) had a humble start with roots in 1985. A handful of people, including former RCAF pilot, Bob Hewitt, were determined to keep the legacy of the Harvard alive and everything it meant to aviation military history.

Today, the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association is a volunteer-run, registered not-for-profit charitable organization located at the Tillsonburg Regional Airport. Its volunteers work passionately and tirelessly to preserve, restore, maintain, display and demonstrate their fleet of trainers: eight Harvard and one Yale.

With 3-4 aircraft airworthy each season, visitors take full advantage of flying experiences and soar as thousands of young, courageous men did, who honed their skills in these warbirds before heading off to war.

The Harvard Association welcomes you to take flight, seeing Oxford from a whole different vantage point with this bucket-list experience. Sign up for a once-in-a-lifetime, Harvard Flight Experience.
