Liftoff
I bet it still has that new plane smell
A Bombardier aircraft readies for takeoff at Downsview Airport in Toronto. So new that the registration doesn't show up when searching the net. Probably a CRJ400.
Catching the news from above
The Global News Aerospatiale AS350 helicopter seen at Downsview Airport in Toronto.
Shocking!
Old tube voltmeter sitting on a shelf in the work area at the Toronto Aerospace Museum. One of the great parts of being a volunteer is that I get to wander "behind the scenes" where history sits everywhere.
Lying down on the job
Old ejection seat found laying around in the back room at the Toronto Aerospace Museum.
Good tip that
Caution sign on an old ejection seat reminds you not to pull the red handles unless you want to go for a very short, fast trip.
Arrow area
One of the workbenches for the Avro Arrow replica project at the Toronto Aerospace Museum. Even though the full-size replica is on display, the dedicated volunteers continue to create detailed parts to add authenticity to this beautiful airplane.
Crowded cockpit?
Three unidentified flightdeck seats in the back room at the Toronto Aerospace Museum.
First class?
No idea where this seat came from. Stumbled across it in the back room at the Toronto Aerospace Museum.
A big wheel in aviation history
The nose wheel for the Lancaster (FM-104) being restored at the Toronto Aerospace Museum. On the left is one of the original Merlin engines and, on the right, part of one of the wings.
Behind the scenes

Where brave men worked
The interior of the Lancaster Mark X (FM-104) undergoing restoration at the Toronto Aerospace Museum. A rare view as we moved the old bird to make way for an exhibit.
