Carp, Ontario – Wealthy Military History, Agriculture and Drive-In Bingo
Unofficially boasting the second highest UFO sightings behind Roswell. Home to Canada’s largest nuclear bunker! On again, off again, Carp is once again host to the annual Ottawa Air Show! Annual destination for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Fly-In/Drive-In Breakfast. A location for a Tom Clancy movie shoot staring Ben Affleck and Morgan Freeman.
Intrigued? Well you should be! The Historic Village of Carp has nothing to do with the fish by the same name. The seemingly sleepy rural community sits on the northwestern fringe of the city of Ottawa – simply a touch ‘up the valley’ as they say within the (Ottawa) Valley. This tiny village, though predominantly a farming community, has a number of Canada’s defined history running through its veins.
The [debatable] secret building of the four-storey nuclear fallout Diefenbunker, was a massive Federal Government construction project completed in 1961. Now half of Canadian Cold War history, a tour through this concert and steel underground fortress can stimulate your senses with the intrigue of espionage, spies and covert operations. Come back prepared to steer up and down stairs.
Carp, in the Sixties and 70s, was noted for the unusual variety of UFO sightings. This is not stunning, since the this military bunker was a military commissioned, secure defense communications installation. Department of National Defense (DND) personnel would cycle through a tour-of-duty for up to three months within this bunker facility.
For about 40 wonderful seconds within the Tom Clancy suspense movie “The Total of all Fears”, the Diefenbunker was Mt. Weather, Virginia, USA. The inclined tunnel resulting in the massive steel-vault-like doors and locations inside the advanced were used as a backdrop for the movie, scripted around a nuclear attack on America.
Nice being picked by Hollywood, however the real enticement to go to this rural Ottawa Village is its local character. Rooted in agriculture, adds that ‘country honest’ feel when in June, the Carp Airport hosts the Ottawa Air Show and again in August, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA Chapter 245 ) fly-in breakfast. Both of these Aviation spectacles boast aerial displays, vintage and fashionable airplanes and continually a taste of aerial hot-doggin’. Though hosted on a smaller scale, rivals the massive heart and excitement of the Abbotsford BC International Air Show.
It’s all morning fly-in action surrounding the Annual EAA Chapter 245 fly-in breakfast. Sometimes landing back-to-back the pilots, in their kit-engineered aircraft, circle, land and taxi to designated parking spots. Over 50 to 60 planes are flown in during this a lot of anticipated event. Pilots eat a hearty breakfast, fuss over their aircraft, catch up on news from different pilots, and a few then commence into the wild blue yonder. Others, like August Lehmann, veteran pilot of 49 years, flew in from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to attend the annual EAA Fly-In/Drive-In Breakfast. Mr. Lehmann, who flew his custom created 2005 Cessna 230 H.P. Cyclone at an average speed of a hundred thirty mph, took the chance to visit with friends and relatives along his flight path to Carp, Ontario.
One plane that attracts a heap of up-close attention is the prop-version reproduction kit of the Canadian Snowbird Team CT-114 Tutor jet, right down to the paint. One bi-plane had vintage enthusiasts crowding around for a closer look. Wow! Superbly lacquered wood throughout the cockpit and on the wings. Lots of photo opportunities everywhere you turned. It had been onerous for shutterbugs to stay up.
It may begin with the Carp Airport, but its charm does not stop there. It has a few a lot of unique long-standing attractions:
1) Home to Canada’s longest running drive-in Bingo as highlighted on the CBC Show ‘On The Road Once more’ with Wayne Ronstad. Started in 1954 and still going sturdy!
2) Over 142 years of the Carp Honest, held during the last weekend in September!
three) Unbelievable sunsets and easy access to a number of the simplest Snowmobiling and ATV trails in Canada!
Enough said! C’mon over! Chat with the locals. Bring your family and friends for a visit to at least one of Ottawa Valley’s gems.
