Ottawa - Canada Aviation Museum

The National Aviation Museum is at Rockcliffe Airport, on the northern edge of town, and dates from 1988. Telling in detail the story of Canadian civil and military aviation, among the aircraft on display are a replica of the Silver Dart, which in 1909 made the first flight in Canada, fighter planes from the First and Second World Wars, and some of the seaplanes and other aircraft that helped open up Canada's uncharted northern wilderness. The Royal Canadian Airforce Hall of Tribute commemorates the exploits of the service.
