Question About Warbirds In Winnipeg...

[Saabmeister]

I'll have some free time this weekend, and I'm planning to drive on up to Winnipeg, and visit for sure the Western Canada Aviation Museum. I have a quick question though:

Are the birds mounted on poles at the Air Force Heritage Park and the Navigation School accessible to the public?

Thanks in advance.

Go to...

...then pan down to Winnipeg. I don't think you will have any trouble getting to view them all, other than it is likely to darn cold.

When you get back let me know if you think there are any notes I should add to the Locator entries.

They where a few years ago...Yes the pole ones where viewable.

I also was lucky and the gate guard let me through the base to see their B25, DC3 & Beech 18
