Located near the Calgary International Airport, The Hangar Flight Museum – formerly called the Aero Space Museum of Calgary – seeks to instill its visitors with an appreciation of aircraft. The museum seeks to pay tribute to the aircraft which have allowed us to soar through the skies in the past and to inspire dreams of flight in new generations. You'll get the opportunity to see rare aircraft and hear the stories of the men and women who piloted them.
“To inspire dreams of flight,” is the Aero Space Museum of Calgary’s soaring mandate. Appropriately located close to the Calgary International Airport, the museum houses a collection of civilian and military aircraft spanning an entire century of flight and includes planes that are particularly relevant to the history of aviation in Western Canada. Among the Museum’s 24 restored aircraft are biplanes, an Avro Anson – used for flight training during the Second World War – a Lancaster bomber and a Cessna crop sprayer.
Get up close and personal with various planes and gliders that have plied the skies throughout aeronautical history. The beautifully maintained collection of flying machines housed at this big northeast Calgary facility is downright impressive. The second Thursday of each month is Movie Night: aeroplane-themed screen at 7 pm.
