Open Cockpit Day at Alberta Aviation Museum is This Weekend

This weekend is Open Cockpit Day at Alberta Aviation Museum. It’s a day where you can head into the museum, and get in the action, sitting in the cockpit of eight different planes. Whether you want to capture that perfect image, pretend to be a fighter pilot, or get a glimpse into the cockpit, Open Cockpit Day is one that we don’t miss for our mini-aviators.
