L'autre jour à Mascouche, l'ami Dany a laisser son Harvard au hangar pour la semaine avant de le ramener à Saint-Donat. Ça m'a permis de faire de jolies photos, surtout que l'avion sera bientôt dans sa nouvelle maison à Maxville en Ontario.

The Harvard – A Canadian Aviation Icon
The Canadian Harvard Aircraft
A favourite at the Canadian Aviation Expo (2008) was the Canadian Harvard Aircraft. Based in Tillsonburg, Ontario, the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association (CHAA) maintains a fleet of vintage Harvard Aircraft beautifully restored and maintained.

The CHAA is a volunteer organization started 1985 at a small grass airstrip in Woodstock, Ontario. These Harvard lovers help keep the legend of the Harvard alive.

The HARVARD
Also known as the AT-6, Yale, Texan, SNJ, or Wirraway based on the same airframe, the Harvard is always a crowd pleaser. The Harvard is one of the best known training aircraft in the world.

Supersonic Propeller Tips
The 9 foot propeller is powered by a massive radial engine causing the propeller tips to go supersonic causing an unforgettable roar.

The Harvard Aircraft was an advanced trainer used by 137,000 aircrew who came from all over the world to Learn to Fly in Canada as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.

The Harvard filled the gap between the elementary trainers of the day like the D.H. TIGER MOTH, and the high performance fighters such as the Spitfires, Hurricanes and Mustangs. The Harvard Aircraft is fully aerobatic and pleasant to fly, but student pilots were taught to respect the aircraft if they wished to survive.

The Harvards in Formation Flight
The sight of a single, restored, vintage Harvard airplane is impressive. However, to see a fleet of Harvard aircraft fly by in formation flight is absolutely amazing. The sound is incredible as you hear the combined drone of a half dozen Harvard airplanes in low and slow flight.

The Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association (CHAA) has a fleet of restored Harvard airplanes. These vintage aircraft are meticulously and lovingly restored to flight condition and maintained by the qualified mechanics at CHAA. Most are ‘In Service’, and flown by experienced CHAA Pilots to the delight of aviation enthusiasts across Canada.

These flying machines are a piece of Canada’s aviation history.
