Facts and practical information

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is a living tribute to Canada's rich military aviation history, located in the city of Hamilton, Ontario. This dynamic museum is dedicated to preserving the memory of those who served in the skies and to maintaining the aircraft that were integral to Canadian aviation history.

Situated beside the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport, the museum boasts an impressive collection of over 40 aircraft, ranging from World War II fighters to modern jets. Each aircraft has been meticulously restored, and many are still in flying condition, a testament to the museum's commitment to authenticity and functionality.

The museum's crown jewel is the Avro Lancaster, one of only two airworthy Lancasters left in the world. This legendary bomber, known for its role in the infamous Dambusters raid during World War II, is a source of national pride and a centerpiece of the museum's collection.

Visitors to the museum can experience the evolution of military aviation through interactive exhibits, educational programs, and even flight simulations. However, the ultimate experience is the museum's flying program, which offers the rare opportunity to take to the skies in a vintage aircraft, an exhilarating encounter with history.
