Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum

The Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum is an aerospace museum located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada near the Halifax Stanfield International Airport.

History

The museum was established in 1977 by a group of volunteers. It opened to the public in 1985 and was granted "Local Museum" status by the Government of Nova Scotia in 1989.[1] A 14,000 square foot hangar was built in 1995. In 1997, the museum recovered a TBM Avenger that crashed on while performing aerial spraying in 1975.[2]

Exhibits

The museum features a number of exhibits that include CP-107 and Link trainers, a model of Halifax Civic Airport, and an original V-1 flying bomb.[3][4][5] A flight simulator based on a Boeing 737NG was installed in July 2023.[6]
