We booked a flight in a Vintage Biplane. It was a Waco UPF-7, which is an open-cockpit biplane circa 1939. We enjoyed 8-minutes of airtime. We were given the choice of doing some light barrel rolls which we agreed to and thoroughly enjoyed. The plane goes up to roughly 1500 feet.
Booked 2 introduction flights for my 2 excited boys and they (Rockliffe flying club) canceled it at the last minute and changed the day and time without really consulting us. Instructor was to be Jason. Not impressed at all to say the least and very disapointed. It is the best way to lose future business for sure. The weather was perfect, airplanes available. We will go elsewhere, where they are better organized.
Rockcliffe Flying Club is a warm and friendly place where friends go to fly. The staff are all very helpful and passionate about aviation. They go above and beyond to satisfy their customers. The flight instructors have a good range of skills and make flying easy for everyone! I'd recommend visiting the Club and booking a sightseeing flight. You'll see Ottawa like never before!
Great flying club. More community gathering place if persons of similar interests. Always meeting different people flying in or out. Great staff. Friendly all round. Best of all is Tony's food but. Gazebo and chairs and picnic benches nearby. Tony has quite a menu for this small airport and satisfies most palates. Love being part of that airport. Now we have our own wings. Will be there more often. Easy commute from downtown Ottawa by car or taxi.
