On May 27, the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association, based at Tillsonburg Regional Airport, hosted their first Fly Day of the season. The all-volunteer organization offered introductory Harvard flight experiences for only $225, which includes a CHAA membership. Eleven rides were sold to aviation enthusiasts who had the thrilling experience of flying in the Second World War trainer. Today, the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association serves as a museum, fan club, and historical society combined into one dynamic, not-for-profit organization. It is predominantly staffed by passionate volunteers, along with one full-time mechanic. They share a common goal: to celebrate an aircraft that played a significant role in the Second World War.
