The C A N S O is coming!
It's been called the greatest flying boat of all time, and it's coming here, July 9th and 10th.
Canso PBY-5A C-FNJE started its life as RCAF11094 and had its first flight in 1943 as a patrol bomber during WWII. After the War, it was converted for civilian use, mostly as a water bomber to help fight forest fires.
This Canso was fully restored by the Fairview Aircraft Restoration Society - FARS in 2017 and is visiting as part of their cross-Canada tour.
Don't miss the Canso, on display and �open for tours � July 9 and 10 from noon to 8:00 pm!
