Finch Flight

US$299.99

Step into the open-cockpit seat of a real, flying legend — the Fleet Finch. Built in 1940, this two-seat tandem biplane trained hundreds of RCAF pilots under the wartime British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Vintage Wings preserves that legacy, offering you the rare chance to relive that golden era — but this time, you get to take the stick!

An unforgettable experience

  • There’s nothing like the wind in your face and the roar of the radial engine as the Finch climbs, banks, and glides — an authentic open-cockpit biplane ride that awakens your senses like nothing modern can.

  • You’ll be flying the same type that trained Canada’s wartime pilots — a living piece of aviation heritage that connects you directly to Canada’s WWII-era skies.

  • Floating above Ottawa (or the surrounding region), you’ll get a view of our nation’s capital from a perspective few ever experience — panoramic, timeless, nostalgic.

A perfect gift — for yourself or someone you care about

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, surprising an aviation-enthusiast friend, or simply chasing adventure — this flight offers more than just sightseeing. It’s a chance to feel the thrill of flight as early pilots did; to make memories steeped in history.

Book a trip on the Fleet Finch — because some experiences aren’t just flown; they’re lived.
