At The Canada Aviation And Space Museum

 In the latter half of August, I paid a visit to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, one of several national museums in the national capital region. It lies out beyond Rockcliffe Park, sharing space with an airstrip. 

The hanger across the road holds more of the collection.

Here between the buildings is Project Northstar. This is an ongoing restoration of the only surviving plane of its kind in the world- the military Canadair C54-GM.

I headed indoors.

Inside the entrance, hanging from above, is a Snowbird. This is the unit of the Canadian military that does air shows.

Beyond the entrance is a large structure, a hall built in honour of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Flags ot the service branch are assembled at its base, along with a time capsule.

Also here is a ceremonial sword of the RCAF.

Within the hall, a peaceful space that includes a three dimensional topographical map.

And an oculus is at the top.

Back outside, this dedication is found.
