Canadian Museum of Flight


The Canadian Museum of Flight is an aviation museum at the Langley Regional Airport in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. The museum has over 25 civilian and military jets, piston driven engine aircraft, gliders, and helicopters on display, six of which have been restored to flying condition. Other displays include an aviation art gallery and aviation artifacts.

History

Due to a lack of room for expansion, the museum announced that it had reached an agreement to move to a site at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport in 2024. The museum's DC-3 was moved in January 2025 due to its location being deemed a potential obstruction to aircraft taking off and landing at the airport.

Hampden bomber

The museum's Handley Page Hampden is the last of its type in existence. The aircraft was used in coastal patrol on the BC coast in World War II and crashed offshore in 1942. It was recovered in 1985 and was restored over a twenty-year period. The rare aircraft is stored outdoors, and on 26 December 2008, an especially heavy snowfall broke the left wing spars. This caused the wing to separate from the fuselage.
