Museum Opening Day

We're open!!  On Saturday 14 October 2000 at 11:00 AM, Major General Steve Lucas, Commander, 1 Canadian Air Division, officially opened the new Greenwood Military Aviation Museum. We are located in the Canex Building, a few hundred yards towards the Air Base entrance. Look for the Lancaster, Neptune (and Argus, very soon) aircraft.
