Overdue Visit To Local Heritage
Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum的点评
点评：I have always wanted to check out the Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum but until this last trip the opportunity has never existed. The Museum is located near Halifax Stanfield International Airport, and I pass it every time I’m going to or from that place into Halifax which is several times a year.
That is the problem, almost every time I’m on the airport bus or a taxi and therefore can’t stop and visit. Even were I to arrive at the airport earlier than normal, it’s a bit too far to walk over to. The one time my flight was cancelled and the airline put me up in a nearby hotel, it was also too far to easily visit.
This trip however was different. My last day in Halifax I’d agreed to meet a friend for coffee or brunch in the morning as my flight wasn’t until the afternoon. He suggested a place near the airport and added he’d pick me up at my hotel and then after brunch drop me at the terminal, saving me the need to use the airport bus.
We still had plenty of time after catching up over the drive and a nice brunch and as we passed the museum, he asked if I’d ever been in the place. I told him no but always wanted to, and we pulled into their parking lot. Apparently he’s a regular visitor there, partially because he has an interest in aircraft and Canadian aviation history and also because the local chapter of the IPMS (International Plastic Modeller’s Society) of which he’s a member hold their meetings there.
That became evident when we entered the building as off the lobby is one of the best stocked model airplane stores I’ve ever come across. The lobby also contains the visitor desk and a central display built around a partially covered biplane.
Moving past the reception area one enters a massive 14,000 square foot aircraft hanger which is the main display area. The walls are lined with numerous photos, notices, paintings and plans all relating to Canadian Aviation history and development. There are also several beautifully detailed models in glass display cases.
The main attraction of the hanger though are the aircraft. Over twenty aircraft and/or parts of aircraft are on display, either parked on the hanger floor or in a few cases suspended from the ceiling. It is crowded but there is ample room to move between and get close to most of the displays.
Almost the entire panorama of Canadian aerospace history is on display here, both civil and military from sport biplanes up to the jet fighters that the RCAF used during the Cold War including the domestically designed and built Avro CF -100 Canuck and the CF 104 Starfighter I recalled from my time in West Germany decades ago.
One of the larger aircraft is the twin engined CP 121 Tracker the Canadian version of the Grumman Tracker ASW aircraft used by the RCN. Nearby sits a large-scale model of HMCS Bonaventure the last Canadian aircraft carrier which carried Tracker ASW aircraft as part of her compliment.
Among the aircraft suspended from the hanger ceiling is a full-sized replica of the Silver Dart, the plane that made the first powered flight in Canada in 1909. The sheer number of aircraft on display has meant some have had to stored outside including a restored and preserved CF 101 Voodoo, another Cold War vintage aircraft.
There is also the opportunity to get close to many of the aircraft on display. Stairs and platforms allow one to peer into cockpits and engine nacelles as one wander around the hanger.
Peering into cockpits is not the extent of interactive attractions here. In 2023 the museum added a Boeing 737 flight simulator for those who wish to explore their piloting skills.
The museum is was established in 1977 and opened to the public in 1985. Four years later the Province of Nova Scotia granted it official museum status.
The main purpose of the museum is not just to display the aircraft but also to preserve and restore them and therefore preserve Canadian aerospace history. In 1997 they obtained and restored a Second World War era TBM Avenger torpedo plane. At the time of my visit, volunteers were working on restoring a Consolidated Canso PBY Flying Boat, a type that saw extensive service by the allies during the Second World War.
The museum does more than host the local IPMS, posters and their website note that it can be rented for birthday parties and other gatherings. It is open daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Admission is by donation and the suggested donation is $10.00 with a donation box and guest book located near the entrance.

翻译：我一直都想去参观加拿大大西洋航空博物馆，但直到最近这次旅行才终于有机会成行。该博物馆位于哈利法克斯·斯坦菲尔德国际机场附近，我每年都会多次往返于机场与哈利法克斯市区，每次都会经过那里。
问题就在这里：几乎每次我乘坐机场巴士或出租车时，都没法中途下车去参观。即便我比平时更早抵达机场也是如此。走路过去的话有点太远了。有一次我的航班被取消，航空公司安排我住在附近的酒店，但即便如此，从酒店走到机场也相当费劲。
不过这次情况就不一样了。我在哈利法克斯的最后一天，因为航班要下午才起飞，所以便答应早上和朋友一起喝咖啡或吃早午餐。他推荐了机场附近的一家店，还说会到酒店接我，吃完饭后再送我到航站楼，这样我就不必乘坐机场巴士了。在开车途中聊了好一会儿，又享用了美味的早午餐之后，我们还有大把时间可以消磨。当我们经过博物馆时，他问我是否去过那里。我回答说没去过，但一直都想去。于是我们便把车开进了博物馆的停车场。原来他经常来这里——一方面是因为他对飞机以及加拿大的航空史很感兴趣，另一方面则是因为他所属的IPMS（国际塑料模型协会）的地方分会也在那里举行会议。这一点在我们进入大楼后便显而易见了：大堂旁边就是我见过货品最齐全的模型飞机商店之一。大堂里还设有访客接待处，以及一个以一架部分被遮盖的双翼机为中心的中央展示区。
穿过接待区后，便进入了一个面积达14,000平方英尺的巨大飞机库，这里就是主要的展览区域。墙面上挂满了大量与加拿大航空历史及发展相关的照片、通告、绘画和图纸。玻璃展示柜中还陈列着几件做工精细的模型。
不过，机库里最吸引人的还是那些飞机。这里有二十多架飞机及/或飞机部件展出，有的停在机库地面上，少数则悬挂在天花板上。虽然人很多，但仍有足够的空间在展品间穿行并近距离观赏。
加拿大航空航天史上的几乎所有重要内容都在此得到了展现。从民用及军用用途的体育用双翼机，到加拿大皇家空军在冷战期间使用的喷气式战斗机，应有尽有。其中既有加拿大本土设计制造的Avro CF-100 Canuck，也有CF-104 Starfighter。这些飞机让我想起了几十年前我在西德服役时的情景。
体积较大的机型之一便是双引擎的CP-121 Tracker，它是加拿大皇家海军所使用的格鲁曼Tracker反潜机的加拿大版本。旁边有一个加拿大皇家海军“博纳文特号”航空母舰的大型模型，这是加拿大最后一艘航空母舰，舰上曾搭载过用于反潜任务的“追踪者”战斗机。
在机库天花板上悬挂的诸多飞机中，有一架全尺寸复制版的“银箭号”——正是这架飞机于1909年在加拿大完成了首次动力飞行。由于展出的飞机数量众多，有些不得不被存放在室外，其中包括一架经过修复并妥善保存的CF-101“巫毒”战斗机，它同样是冷战时期的机型。游客还有机会近距离接触展出的众多飞机。沿着机库内的楼梯与平台行走时，可以窥见驾驶舱及发动机舱的内部结构。
能够进入驾驶舱并非这里唯一的互动体验项目。2023年，博物馆又新增了一台波音737飞行模拟器，供那些希望磨练飞行技能的人使用。
该博物馆创立于1977年，并于1985年正式对公众开放。四年后，新斯科舍省授予其官方博物馆的地位。
这家博物馆的主要目的不仅仅是展示飞机，还在于对它们进行保护与修复，从而保存加拿大的航空航天历史。1997年，他们获得并修复了一架二战时期的TBM复仇者鱼雷轰炸机。我到访时，志愿者们正在修复一架康维尔Canso PBY水上飞机。这是一种在第二次世界大战期间被盟军广泛使用的机型。
这家博物馆的功能不仅限于举办当地IPMS的活动；海报及其网站上还注明，该馆也可用于举办生日派对及其他聚会。博物馆每日上午9点至下午5点开放。入场无需购票，建议捐赠金额为10美元；入口处设有捐款箱和留言簿。
