National Air Force Museum of Canada - September 21st Trenton
This museum is dedicated to preserving and telling the history of Canadian military aviation. From its first flight on a frozen lake in Nova Scotia, through to today’s humanitarian relief missions, the Museum captures the spirit, the daring and the courage of the men and women of the RCAF. There are 35 aircraft on display in the 16-acre outdoor air park.
The indoor museum tells the stories of Canadian air force personnel that are the real treasures of the Museum the POW aircrews who plotted the Great Escape; the gold medal winning RCAF Flyers hockey team; or the efforts to create the massive, hugely successful British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
