Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, Military aviation museum at Hamilton International Airport, Canada

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is an aviation museum at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport in Mount Hope, Ontario. It holds 47 military jets and propeller-driven aircraft, many in flying condition, including a silver jet with red wingtip pods and white roundels bearing a red maple leaf. A purpose-built hangar completed in 1996 replaced Hangar #3 after a 1993 fire.

The museum was founded in 1972 when four individuals pooled their resources to purchase a single aircraft. That modest beginning grew into a major collection that documents the development of military aviation over the decades.

The museum's Lancaster flies as the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster, painted in the wartime markings VR-A of Pilot Officer Andrew Charles Mynarski. In 2014 it crossed the North Atlantic to Britain, flying in formation with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Lancaster PA474 at some 60 displays. Visitors can book local flights in aircraft of the flying collection.

The museum sits at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport in Mount Hope, Ontario, with the collection housed in hangars reached from the airport grounds. Several aircraft remain in flying condition and are made available for local flights by visitors, so flight bookings should be arranged ahead of a trip.

The museum houses one of only two Lancaster bombers still able to fly anywhere in the world, a heavy bomber from World War II. The aircraft carries markings that recall the story of a Canadian pilot who served with exceptional courage.
