Canadian Museum of Flight (The)

Description:

• This non-profit museum showcases a unique collection of aircrafts and is dedicated to the preservation and education of Canada's aviation heritage. In the 1970s most of Canada's historic planes were being moved to the U.S. and Europe. Thanks to efforts of a group of aviation enthusiasts, many of these aircraft were acquired, and the museum was created. Some of the aircraft displayed include the T-33AN Silverstar, Bowlus Bumblebee BB1, the CF-100 Canuck Mk 3b, and the DH82c Tiger Moth. The Canadian Museum of Flight also has the Millennium Kids Room, which allows children to understand how a plane flies, and how an engine works. As you make your way through the museum you can take a chronological route, starting with the world wars and ending in present day, allowing you to see the huge role Canada has played in the development of aviation. This is an ideal trip for families, and people of all ages.
