Western Canada Aviation Museum - Winnipeg, MB - Aviation Museums on Waymarking.com

The aircraft on display reflect the history of aviation development in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Canada and include examples ranging from bush planes to transport, military, private and commercial aircraft. Specific examples include:

-Canada's first helicopter (built by the Froebe brothers in Homewood, Manitoba);
-The most complete Vickers Viscount in the world (which flew out of the hangar that now houses the Museum);
-A replica of the Junkers JU-52/lM that flew out of the Brandon Avenue base of Canadian Airways Ltd. Known as the 'Flying Boxcar', this ungainly plane was the largest single-engine aircraft operated in North America.
-The Avrocar - A replica of the flying saucer that was built by a secret contract between the American military and Avro Canada during the Cold War years.
-In 2005, the Museum acquired a very significant Tiger Moth (designated a Canadian Heritage aircraft by the Federal Government) and the only Fokker Super Universal aircraft left in the world.
-The Museum also houses an exhibit on Canadian Women in Aviation; flight simulators; a Black Brant Rocket (built in Manitoba by Bristol Aerospace); and
-Other aviation memorabilia, such as a collection of first airmail covers (i.e., envelopes, including one signed by Charles Lindbergh and Orville Wright).
