Though I haven’t been to very many aviation museums, TomH’s Alberta Aviation Museum is a great place. I visit it at least once a year and every time I do, there is something new to see. I was just there Thursday and had the chance to meet Tom in person. We didn’t have a chance to talk too much, as Tom was very busy with the running of the museum, from meeting some Safety types to getting the A/C units set up for warmer weather. There was a group of at least 30 children there too. They were all sitting in a classroom setting beside the DC-3. They were then let go to wander through the aircraft and displays, looking for answers to some questions provided by their instructor. There is at least 6 video terminals for people to look at and get info on the museum and the aviation history of Edmonton and Alberta.
Another aspect I like about the museum is being able to wander through the restoration shop. Right now the B-25 is inside and being worked on.

Tom, I’ll be back in October, for the Northern Wings Model Show.
