It’s 🇨🇦 National Aviation Day. Here’s six Canadian built RCAF airplanes. The DHC-6 Twin Otter, DHC-1B Chipmunk, Fleet 60K Fort, and of course the Canadair Tutor flown by the CF Snowbirds!

Can't think of a better time to share a Snowbirds image than now, what a goal and what a game - McJesus in Overtime! #4Nations #canvsusa

The Canso flying boat was built in Canada at two locations - Boeing in Vancouver and Vickers in Montreal. Our flying example here was built by Vickers in 1944.

Major Doug Publicover of 405 Squadron RCAF had a surprise during a recent museum visit.
He immediately recognized a photo of a CP-140 Aurora in our gallery and, after checking the registration number, realized that he had been the one flying the aircraft when the photo was taken!

I always had a soft spot these, although I don't recall ever seeing one 'in the flesh', so to speak.
The Canadair CC-106 Yukon, a Canadian turbo-prop cargo aircraft based on the CL-44 airliner...which itself was based on the Bristol Brittania.

#OnThisDay 60 yrs ago 1965 Sir Winston Churchill died. First Lord of the Admiralty in two world wars and arguably the greatest British Prime Minister ever.

He said. “We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us.”

How often do you get to see the inner workings of a Merlin engine? The heads and banks have been removed from the Avro Lancaster for repairs as winter maintenance continues.
