British Columbia Aviation Museum
British Columbia Aviation Museum Review
Volunteers passionate about the history of flight have lovingly restored several dozen historic military and civilian airplanes, and even re-created a 19th-century flying machine at this museum near Victoria's International Airport. Pre-computer flight simulators, flight attendant uniforms, and a World War II-era aviation radio set are displayed in the museum's hangar and on the tarmac outside. Tours take about an hour.
