Air Defence Museum, Military aviation museum in La Baie, Canada.
The Air Defence Museum displays a large collection of military aircraft, flying technology, and defense systems from different periods of Canadian military history. The exhibits offer a detailed view of how aircraft, weapons, and protection systems developed and changed over the decades.
The museum was founded in 1997 and preserves the technological advances and strategies of Canadian air defense. Its collection documents the main developments in military aviation and changes in defense technology across multiple generations.
The museum maintains strong connections with veterans and military personnel who contribute their experiences and knowledge to enrich the educational programs.
Planning your visit beforehand is helpful since opening hours and guided tours can vary with the seasons. Comfortable shoes are good to wear, especially if you plan to explore the outdoor area with the aircraft.
A special feature is the large outdoor area where complete military equipment and aircraft can be examined up close. Many visitors overlook this hands-on access to full-size vehicles, which changes how you understand the scale of these machines.
