Pictures from the Canadian Aviation Museum...

Photos from our expedition to the Canadian Aviation Museum on Thursday. I asked if I could take photos inside, and they said, "Sure. Just don't touch the planes."

1. When you come to the doorway to the Aviation Museum, after buying a ticket to get in ($9.00) - the first item is this reproduction of a sculpture by R. Tait McKenzie, called The Falcon. I know of at least one superhero by that name. We were amused by the rather large fig leaf.
   
   


2. The A.E.G. G.IV. From World War I.
   



3. A plane with a canoe, for those hard-to-reach lakes.
   



4. This one with corrugated sides.
   



5. A boat or a plane? A bit of both. The Gummar G-44A Widgeon.
   



6. The Bomarc: unmanned, and very, very tall..
   



7. Boeing Vertol CH-113 Labrador - not just visually impressive, but fun to see what bits do what.
   



8. This is not an airplane, but it's very cool.
   



9. The famous, or infamous, Avro Arrow - all that's left of it. Half a shell. (Beulah worked on this project at one time.) More information here.
