Canadian Air and Space Museum
We had a great sightseeing flight out of Toronto's Island Airport. From the air, we could see the Museum (formerly the Toronto Aerospace Museum) down the waterfront.
The Air and Space Museum is a "newcomer" on the aviation museum scene. It was founded in 1997, and there wasn't much to see back then. This museum has more than history just on the inside.... You'll find the building is historical in itself. It was the original 1929 home of de Havilland Aircraft of Canada. The site contains the oldest surviving aircraft factory in Canada, and it's the birthplace of Beaver and Otter bush planes. The field used to be Toronto's air force base. Their collection is a little light, but growing, and they have plans for expanding the facility. They have a couple of de Havilland planes and a Lancaster which was taken from its "airplane on a stick" display status in downtown Toronto and is now under restoration. This museum is open Wednesdays thru Sundays. On Holiday Mondays it is also open. The address is:
65 Carl Hall Road Box 1 Toronto, Ontario M3K 2E1 Phone: (416) 638-6078 Check their website for hours and fees. Canadian Air and Space Museum OK, we admit we're airplane nuts, but we think it's great to have two Canadian air museums close to a great city like Toronto. Find 'em, See 'em, Fly,'em!
