Pilots of all ages can climb into the cockpit at BC Aviation Museum

By-donation event runs Sunday, Feb. 18 at the North Saanich museum

Anyone can climb into the cockpit of a handful of iconic Canadian aircraft at the BC Aviation Museum this weekend.

The North Saanich site offers by-donation admission, and a chance to climb into a Lockheed CT-133, Grumman Tracker, Convair 580, Sikorsky S-55 helicopter and VIH Kamov helicopter with Open Cockpit Day.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve done an event like this so we’re keeping it to opening up five of our cockpits for the public to sit in,” operations manager Julia Cairns said.
