This afternoon Mike and Al visited the Western Canada Aviation Museum which is near the Winnipeg International Airport. It is the second largest aviation museum in Canada.
The displays included 100 Years of Flight covering Canada's aviation history and aviation pioneers including Canada's first helicopter.
