Flying to Ottawa + Tour of the Canada Aviation & Space Museum | Rockcliffe Airport (CYRO) Adventure
Join Glen's Hangar for a flight to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum at the historic Rockcliffe Airport (CYRO) in Ottawa. We taxi right to the museum doors to get an up-close look at some of the most iconic aircraft in Canadian history.
In this video, we explore rare vintage planes, including the Junkers J.I (the world’s first all-metal series aircraft), the legendary Noorduyn Norseman bush plane, and the massive Avro Lancaster bomber. We also dive into the legacy of De Havilland Canada, featuring the prototype DHC-2 Beaver and DHC-6 Twin Otter.
Whether you’re a pilot interested in the tricky Ottawa airspace or an aviation history buff, this tour offers a deep dive into the engineering and stories behind these incredible flying machines.
In this video:
The Flight to Rockcliffe: Navigating busy airspace and landing at Canada’s most historic GA airport.
The Junkers J.I: A look at the "ugliest" but most innovative armored plane from WWI.
Canadian Bush Plane Legends: Exploring the Norseman and the first-ever Beaver.
The Lancaster Bomber: Seeing the scale of this iconic WWII airframe.
De Havilland Legacy: How Canadian animals replaced "Moths" in aviation history.
The Return Trip: Flying back to Oshawa (CYOO) against a stiff headwind.
About Glen's Hangar: Follow along for more general aviation adventures, aircraft tours, and the reality of flying a Cessna 172 across Canada.
