Our August Open House and Fly Day was a great success. We took 18 people for flights and hosted many more at our hangars at the Tillsonburg Regional Airport.

Thanks to all the volunteers and visitors whose actions help keep the history and significance of our Harvard aircraft alive.

Thank you Airshow London for a fantastic weekend and having us back this year. We especially love that we got to fly in your show and demonstrate the “Roar of the Harvard” to your guests.

Congratulations to all those involved for putting on a first-class air and ground display and creating such a memorable event for many.

We had a great time!

It's official! We're going to be sending a Harvard to fly in the Canadian International Air Show in Toronto on Labour Day weekend!

We are excited to welcome back the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association and their iconic North American Harvard Mk II (C-FRWN) to our 2026 performer lineup!

Flown in from Tillsonburg, Ontario, this legendary yellow trainer played a crucial role during WWII under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Thousands of Allied pilots earned their wings in the Harvard, stepping up from primary trainers to high-performance fighters like the Spitfire.

Get ready to hear that unmistakable sound on history roar over the Toronto waterfront this Labour Day weekend!

Thank you so very much to the team at the Props and Pistons Festival in Akron, Ohio for inviting us to perform in your show. You should be very proud of this fantastic event you have created for your community, and the money raised for Inspire Aviation. Unfortunately the rain showed its ugly side on Sunday, but until then, it was all blue skies. Thank you again!
