I guess I'm spolied, having been up in our Lanc for a total of about 40 hours over the past 11 years. On regular area flights , with paying passengers, or on route to distant air shows, in Canada and the USA.

At the air shows, I do double duty, selling our souveniers, and talking about the aircraft, and our museum, to the people at the show.

I think the price that we charge, for a hour in the air, in a unique aircraft, at $2,000 CDN per person, is a good deal. Of course we need to have 5 people in a group, to make it a profitable exercise. The Canadian War Plane Heritage Museum, is a non-profit group, but it still takes a couple of thousand dollars, just for fuel, to fly it for an hour. Then add the cost of ongoing upkeep and insurance.

Of course if you can't afford the Lancaster, we have many other WW2 aircraft, in our collection that you can fly in, such as the Tiger Moth, Harvard, PBY, B 25 Mitchell, and Anson. Go to our website, and take a look at the collection and the reasonable prices.
