CLIMB INTO HISTORY!

Ever wondered what it was like to train as a military pilot during World War II?

This special Open Cockpit Day gives you the opportunity to get up close to two legendary aircraft:

 

 North American Harvard – the advanced trainer that prepared thousands of Allied pilots for combat.

 Boeing Stearman Biplane – the iconic primary trainer that introduced young airmen to the skies before they moved on to combat aircraft.

 

Receive a short mission briefing, learn about wartime pilot training, and discover what it took to earn your wings and prepare to fight for your country during World War II.

Saskatchewan Aviation Museum

The Saskatchewan Aviation Museum offers an up close and personal experience with aircraft that have shaped Saskatchewan’s and Canada’s history. 

From the early “bush planes” to the” Yellow Wing” trainers of World War II, we strive to remember our aviation pioneers. Volunteers restore and conserve aircraft, document artifacts and photographs, keeping once-commonplace skills and manufacturing techniques from vanishing.

There’s something for everyone, together with guided museum tours and flight simulators, the museum is designed to engage and inspire the public of all ages. 

Come visit, browse the museum or book a guided tour for yourself, a group, or a class of students. Discover a wealth of history in our aircraft hangar, displays and flight simulators.
