I always look forward to the opportunity to viewing the cockpit in any aircraft these days and I am always respectfull of someone else property….

CAvM in Ottawa used to have open Cockpits on a number of aircraft on Canada Day July 1st but their policy has sinced changed and all historical aircraft cockpits are closed to the public. I think damage was becoming an issue on a number of the open cockpits so I can understand their concerns..

However The Project NorthStar at CAvM was open to the public recently as part of the Vintage Air Rally event and for a voluntery donation they would take you aboard their Canadair North Star. A great way to raise funds for their restoration and a great chance for folks like me to see the deck of the ‘Star”…which as you can see is a work in progess…:)
