Of course, this magnificent museum is located at an airport ! Rockliffe airport to be precise (near Ottawa) and you can actually fly to the museum and taxi right to their ramp ! This is the best aircraft museum I have seen so far. My pictures are arranged in a manner that mimics the old museum layout, before the construction of the new hangar:
