Climb into the cockpit of a true wartime flying legend — the Fairchild Cornell. Built in Canada in 1943 by the Fleet Aircraft Company of Canada and restored to flying condition by Vintage Wings, this two-seat trainer carried many young pilots — under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) — on their early flights during the Second World War.

It’s more than just a sightseeing flight: it’s a ride steeped in history, honoring the generation of pilots trained under the BCATP during WWII — including those who went on to serve with distinction.

Step into the cockpit of the legendary Harvard — once regarded as the advanced-trainer of WWII. With its near-fighter-like size and handling, the Harvard served as the vital bridge between basic trainers and front-line fighters like the Spitfire or Hurricane. Nearly 50,000 Allied pilots earned their wings in Harvards across Canada under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP).

Now maintained in flying condition by Vintage Wings of Canada, this aircraft — known as the “High Flight Harvard” — carries the markings of a Harvard flown in Ottawa by the wartime-era aviator and poet who wrote the iconic poem “High Flight.”
