Programs & Events

We’re kicking off our 2024 visiting aircraft series with a classic training aircraft developed for the RCAF and RAF after World War II.

The Chipmunk performed its maiden flight on May 22, 1946, and was introduced to operational service that same year.

This Chipmunk is owned by Dave Gillespie of British Columbia and Doug Tomlinson of Saskatchewan. When Dave and Doug purchased the aircraft, it was painted in red and white Super Chipmunk livery. They have since restored it to its original factory finish, as shown here.

Owner Dave Gillespie will give a presentation about the Chipmunk and other aircraft in his collection on Monday, May 20.

This event is included with admission.

Aircraft arrival and departure days and times are subject to several factors and are at the pilot’s discretion. Please monitor our social feeds or phone us in advance of your visit in case of changes to the schedule.
