Welcome to Flight Ontario.  The home of freeware Canadian scenery designers for Microsoft Flight Simulators. 

Whether you enjoy touring the countryside in a 172, navigating the bush in a Beaver, or departing Toronto in a 737, we're hopeful that after installing one or more of our sceneries, you'll find that Canada has never looked so good!

 

       


 


Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the BCATP

British Commonwealth Air Training Plan

During the World War II years, 1939 thru 1945, Canada constructed over 150 training schools and airfields across the country and this became known as the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). At its peak these training facilities graduated over 3000 aircrew a month. There was a huge mobilization of personnel and resources to get the plan off the ground and make it work on a day-to-day basis. This plan trained personnel from all walks of life and from many Commonwealth countries to produce pilots, navigators, air gunners, air bombers and flight engineers. These airmen would be counted among the best-trained in the world and became Canada’s principal contribution to victory in World War II.

Vintage Wings of Canada, through their Yellow Wings program have again stepped into the breach by initiating flights of aircraft of that era to various past BCATP stations across Canada during the Anniversary year.

Flight Ontario is also contributing with Flight Simulator Scenery for the BCATP stations. Approximately 115 of these stations have already been completed, with more to come. At present these can be downloaded as freeware from the Flight Ontario Downloads page: http://www.flightontario.com/bcatp-schools.htm
