Experience the thrill of flying in our vintage 1944 Boeing Stearman, and relive the golden days of barnstorming. At Acland Aviation, we offer an exclusive, private flying experience where you’ll soar over the beautiful Niagara Peninsula, the Grand River, and Lake Erie Coastline.
What started as a personal passion quickly grew into a family tradition, and over the years, we have remained deeply committed to sharing our love of flying with others.
Located between the Grand River and the north shore of Lake Erie in the Niagara Peninsula, our private airstrip offers some of the most breathtaking aerial views in Ontario. Flying in our vintage 1944 Boeing Stearman, our carefully restored barnstorming aircraft, we offer an authentic flying experience that lets you step back in time and feel the thrill of classic aviation.
Our passion for aviation was passed down from my father, who first taught my brother and I to fly remote-controlled airplanes at a young age. By the time I was sixteen, I had earned my private pilot’s license. Over 14,000 flight hours later, I’m proud to be an airline captain, alongside my wife, who also shares this incredible career. Aviation runs in our veins, and today, we live right on the airfield, surrounded by the aircraft that we love.
We have since expanded, building a new vintage hangar barn to house our planes and to provide a unique and memorable experience for customers. Whether you’re coming for an exhilarating flight or a peaceful sightseeing adventure, we provide a personal touch you won’t find with larger operations.
Give the gift of flight and let your loved ones experience the thrill of barnstorming with Acland Aviation! Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to create lasting memories, our aviation experiences offer the perfect adventure for anyone.
Our flight options are available in different durations, allowing you to explore the beautiful views of the Niagara Peninsula, the Grand River, and Lake Erie.
