Canada Aviation Museum Hangar?

[Andrew Semon]

I haven’t had a chance to drop by Canada’s Aviation Museum - Ottawa lately but I was wondering if anyone knows if the newly build storage hangar is open to the public yet?

I may get a chance to drop by tomorrow.

Sounds like a plan...

Were the North Star and Argus still outdoors?

The film is off to the photo lab, but there will be no pictures of the storage hanger contents. I didn't ask because I didn't have the time anyway. I will be able to show you pictures of the aircraft that have been moved around in the main building, particularly the new jets section.

BTW... I over heard that the museum was able to buy a Harrier engine to display beside the Harrier with the nozzles attached. Apparently they got it for scrap value. It should be an interesting display.
