The Canada Aviation Museum is home to a unique collection of aircrafts that illustrate the full story of aeronautical history, from the first attempts at flight to the jet age. It is recognized to be the finest of its kind in Canada. If you've been up in a bush plane — a Beaver or a Twin Otter — then you've encountered one of Canada's most important contributions to international aviation.

Airplanes played a big part in opening up this country, and now Canadian planes and designs are being used in rugged environments the world over.

The museum owns one of the most impressive collections of vintage aircraft in the world. Journey through the eras of aviation in the Walkway of Time, adventure on the virtual reality hang-glider, relive the adventures of Canada's bush pilots or the first flight attendants, and discover remarkable tales of aviation.
