Alberta Aviation Museum

Edmonton’s former wartime hangar contains a collection shaped by northern flying, commercial aviation and the training of pilots for military service. The museum is also a working preservation site, making restoration an important part of its interpretation. The aircraft collection concentrates on canadian bush flying, early mail and airline routes, air training and locally significant restoration projects. The official aircraft gallery identifies individual aircraft and aircraft being restored, rather than treating every item as a current public display. Visitors can explore the historic hangar and compare pioneer designs with military trainers and later regional aircraft. The aircraft entries below are selected records from the institution’s own collection pages, not a claim to reproduce its entire inventory. A type shown in a museum catalog is not automatically available for inspection: restoration, loan, operational, and reserve storage arrangements can change. Where the catalog does not establish current public display, these records retain an unknown display status.
