2007 Museums: Vintage Wings of Canada
CYND: N45 31 17 W75 33 51
Based at the Ottawa / Gatineau Airport, this museum is one of the
most unique in Canada, not only because of its collection which is quite
impressive but also because all the aircrafts fly !
The owner Mr. Potter, organizes Open House Days which make the joy of
the local residents and attract also a lot of pilots from all over
eastern Canada. A visit to the museum's Web Site is also a must !
