Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association
The Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association (CHAA) is an all-volunteer non-profit charitable organization based at the Tillsonburg Regional Airport in Ontario. It was founded with the aim of acquiring, preserving, restoring, maintaining, displaying and demonstrating the North
American Harvard aircraft and other training aircraft associated with the BCATP and the RCAF. Its members include historians, skilled pilots, aviation mechanics, and a wide spectrum of people interested and
fascinated by all things related
to powered and unpowered flight, on earth and in space.
The airport (CYTB) a remnant of the BCATP serves general aviation, has a flight school and is a registered entry point with the Canada Border Services Agency on site. CHAA maintains hangers at CYTB where it holds its meetings and where
it restores and maintains a fleet of eight North American AT-6 Harvard aircraft and a Yale, all dating back to the early 1940’s. CHAA’s highly experienced
pilots regularly take part in airshows and offer flights in these iconic aircraft, over the lush farmland of southern Ontario as those student pilots did 80 years ago. It’s an experience of flight far removed from today’s flying public, and guaranteed to be the thrill of a lifetime.
