What: Tour of the Avro Museum – Avro Arrow Project
Where: 229 Avro Lane, Springbank Airport, Calgary
Our Events Coordinator, Robert Norum, is in the process of coordinating a tour of the Avro Arrow Museum situated at the Springbank Airport. If you are interested, please let Rob know at rdnorum@gmail.com and he will let you know the final details. The Tour is free but the Avro Project welcomes any donation.
The Arrow Project consists of volunteers reconstructing a 60% scale model of the famous C-105 Avro Arrow, an all-weather fighter interceptor which was originally developed between 1952 and 1959 to defend Canada from the Soviet Union. The jet will be fully operational and capable of 20,000 ft altitudes when finished. Unfortunately, this highly developed Canadian fighter jet was cancelled in 1959 due to Cold War Politics.
