Tours Offered
Five tours are offered for everybody’s enjoyment, so strap on your helmet and goggles and get ready…
First Flight
Feel the wind in your hair and experience aviation as it was in the 1930s! This ride provides an introduction to flying at its best – in a vintage open-cockpit biplane. This ride is designed for the younger aviator. It is a 6 to 8 minutes ride in the air.
New! River Tour
Travel along the picturesque Ottawa River. As this ride is not over densely populated areas we can conduct this flight at a lower altitude providing excellent picture taking opportunities. This is a 10 to 15 minutes ride in the air.
Parliament Hill Tour
Strap on your aviator's cap and goggles and get a bird's eye view of Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa. This is a 10 to 15 minutes ride in the air.
Gatineau Hills Tour
Travel back in time as you soar serenely aloft the Gatineau River, viewing historic Gatineau Park, the Chelsea River dams, and the original river-logging route that helped found the City of Ottawa. Includes the Parliament Hill Tour on the return leg. This is a 20 to 25 minutes ride in the air.
Eco Tour
Enjoy an extensive flight over the federal Gatineau Park with a close up look at Champlain lookout. This flight includes panoramic vistas of the entire Gatineau Park. Aerial views of the secluded lakes and river systems that have made this park world famous and the farmlands of Western Quebec and Eastern Ontario make this ride a must see! Includes the Parliament Hill tour on the return leg. This is a 30 to 35 minutes ride in the air.
