We thrive with the support of our members – aviation buffs from next door, across town and around the world! Your membership fee goes a long way to assisting us in meeting our goals to inspire and educate our visitors and guests.
Our Museum continues to grow with tales from the sky, great ideas (and not so great ideas) in flight and a true appreciation for the adventuring spirit of our pioneer aviators.
Top Ten Reasons to Become a Member!
Individual and Family Memberships
An individual membership is perfect for the aviation enthusiast! At only $40 per year, it’s valid from January 1 to December 31. You’ll receive our quarterly magazine and regular updates on restoration, visiting aircraft and special events. Drop by and watch the airport traffic from our comfortable lounge.
A family membership is for up to 2 adults and three children and is only $50 for the full year. It’s a great way to support the museum and visit us often for Skyways, the Flight Deck and even just winter walks through the hangar.
All memberships include:

At your leisure, enjoy our aircraft hangar including several one-of-a-kind aircraft, such as Canada’s first helicopter, the CL-84 Tilt-wing, our ‘flying saucer’ Avrocar, and of course, historical military jets, bush planes and commercial aircraft. We also have special art and photographic exhibits in our upstairs galleries and changing exhibits in our reception area.
