25th Anniversary: National Airforce Museum of Canada
In the late 1960s efforts began to create a museum to preserve Canada's proud Air Force heritage and to commemorate the airmen and airwomen who had proudly served in peace and war. On the sixieth anniversary of the RCAF, 1 April 1984, the dream finally became reality when the doors of the RCAF Memorial Museum first opened to the public. From these humble beginnings in a small "leanto" beside the CFB Trenton Gym, today's National Air Force Museum of Canada now welcomes 44,000 visitors annually to the City of Quinte West, making it the region's largest tourist attraction.
