Glad you had a good time
Pictures......
Happy New Year all! Geoff |
The exterior finish of those hangars looks like they're worth a trip. Stunning!

I flew the DC-9 that is now part of the displays in the Museum many moons ago.
Kind of weird to see an airplane that one flew in a museum...time to retire I guess.. The museum is really worth the visit. Bruno rv4@videotron.ca |
They landed that DC-9 on our 3000ft runway ... blew my mind when I heard that.
And yet, when the F-18 came in, they used arrestor cables! Great museum indeed ... I'm 40 and several ships I sailed on with the navy have been mothballed ... which only speaks to the age of our fleet back then :P |
Vald, I did not notice any "big N-numbers on you plane in those pictures. Do you have them or did the Canadians look the other way?

Will, a line man from local FBO gave us a ride to the gates. It's actually a very short walk from the restaurant.
![]() ![]() Several museum halls were loaded with history and artifacts I didn't expect the museum be that large. ![]() This museum is for the whole day tour not a brief excursion as we planned. ![]() ![]() ![]() The same type I've seen when I was a kid on the other side of the globe. The same trophy from the same time. Just a different army soldier brought it to a different location. ![]() Quite impressive prop. ![]() |
![]() Sorry, couldn't resist :D ![]() The hall with WWII memorabilia we didn't walk. We left it for the next time. ![]() Short walk to parking ![]() and we are ready to roll after a medevac finishes his business. ![]() We still have a lot of daytime left. Winds were calm and ride smooth. We flew northbound for more then one hour to pick up two cases of engine oil. What a lovely day! :) ![]() |
