It's not our only such museum, in fact there's a warplane museum in Hamilton and another in Ottawa, but this is opne hell of a fine collection and on a historic site. Turning it into a hockey arena is a travesty.

It isn't very hard to find. It's up on "the mountain", which isn't anything of the sort

Thanks for the tip. That was a fun visit. It was too windy for them to take anything out flying, but it was still great to see all the old planes with drip pans under them and prepped to go rather than just gathering dust.

And jeez, that Vampire was tiny!

Ya'll contributed to the ISS too, which may end up being a big waste of money since no one can get there anymore. HA HA!

So get off your asses and build Orion.

And there's still Soyuz, for now, though they are looking at replacing it too.

Soyuz is grounded right now, since they blew up the supply rocket.

But not long term, unlike the Shuttle. You want the Russians to own space, after all your country has done up there?

PC, you might be the only Canadian that thinks anything is more important than anything involving hockey.

Yes, that was a blatant stereotype of Canadians.

Well I don't seem to be a stereotypical Canadian. For example if water isn't wet I don't have a clue what to do with it, if there aren't any highball glasses in sight.
