MAKE A DAY OF IT!
Bring the kids, grandparents, friends, and camera for an affordable and memorable family outing. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or simply looking for something unique to do in Saskatoon, this is your chance to sit where wartime pilots once sat and imagine the journey from trainee to aircrew.
History isn’t behind a rope—it starts when you climb into the cockpit.
CLIMB INTO HISTORY!
Ever wondered what it was like to train as a military pilot during World War II?
This special Open Cockpit Day gives you the opportunity to get up close to two legendary aircraft:
North American Harvard – the advanced trainer that prepared thousands of Allied pilots for combat.
Boeing Stearman Biplane – the iconic primary trainer that introduced young airmen to the skies before they moved on to combat aircraft.
Receive a short mission briefing, learn about wartime pilot training, and discover what it took to earn your wings and prepare to fight for your country during World War II.
