The Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum is an aerospace museum located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada near the Halifax Stanfield International Airport.

History[]

The museum was established in 1977 by a group of volunteers. It opened to the public in 1985 and was granted "Local Museum" status by the Government of Nova Scotia in 1989.[1] A 14,000 square foot hangar was built in 1995. In 1997, the museum recovered a TBM Avenger that crashed on while performing aerial spraying in 1975.[2]
