Default Re: What would you pay to fly in a Lancaster ?

Tomcat :

Quite simple really.

It is the " Canadian " War Plane Heritage Museum, so the collection is made up of aircraft that were either "flown by " or "built by " Canadians, in the WW2 era.

We do have some later time period aircraft, such as the Korean war period F-86 Sabre jet, and the De Havilland Vampire, CF 100 Vodoo, CF 105 Starfighter ,and the Tracker anti submarine plane, but our major focus is on our own WW2 planes and the RCAF people who flew them.

We teach about our Canadian military history in WW2, and of course we point out WHO we were fighting against, but we don't need to have Axis planes in our collection. Personally, I don't think that would be very well received by our vistors. With limited money, and space , we don't need to have them in our building.
