Description

Join us in the festivities where alongside commemorating this monumental occasion, we’re offering an exciting opportunity to experience aviation history up close. As part of our fundraiser event, attendees can indulge in delicious hamburgers, refreshing pop, and crispy chips, all included with admissions. In addition to our regular tours, visitors will have the exclusive chance to climb into the pilot seat of two iconic aircraft: the Harvard Mk IV, a trainer aircraft used extensively in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during World War II, and the Canso PBY-5A amphibious patrol bomber, brought to us by the Fairview Aircraft Restoration Society.

Immerse yourself in the thrill of sitting at the flight controls, capturing timeless pictures and selfies while soaking in the essence of a “mission briefing.” Don’t miss this unique chance to make memories and honor the legacy of the RCAF and the BCATP!

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.
