🚀 From skeleton to spacecraft... Integrity is taking shape! 🌒

Remember when we announced the Artemis II Integrity capsule mock-up was going to be built in our hangar? Look at us now! Our restoration team has been hard at work, carefully bringing this project to life: from the drawing board with a mini version, to the early skeleton, to the current stage of layering on the exterior! Then we'll move on to making the interior accessible and fully interactive. 🤩

Interested in joining us on this mission? Come see the progress for yourself before it's complete! And if you're eager to see this project reach the finish line, consider making a donation to support its continued development and help inspire Canadians in your community to think big about our future! 🇨🇦 https://bit.ly/3VLENiW

🔎 Fall-time fun at the museum is no mystery... but we thought we'd give you some clues about upcoming excitements in the hangar!🕵️

🎪 A certain pilot bear has been busy behind the scenes, and we hear he's bringing the big top to the hangar this Halloween...

🐪 A legendary WWI fighter is getting ready to cozy up in our hangar for the cold months. Aviation enthusiasts might have a 'hunch' about what this feisty plane could be called...

🦃 One thing that's no mystery: we're open tomorrow for Thanksgiving! Stop by with the fam before dinner hits the table, we'll be here from 10am - 5pm.

📬 This week in aviation history in Manitoba, airmail began! ✈️

This week marks the anniversary of airmail service beginning in our province! Western Canada Airways launched the first official airmail service authorized by the Post Office Department in Manitoba out of Lac du Bonnet. This flight carried a whopping 85 lbs of mail to Bissett and Wadhope. First airmail flights were often made using Fokker Universal aircraft: much like our infamous Ghost of Charron Lake!

Airmail helped connect isolated communities, and helped to lay the groundwork for Canada's national air network. Prior to this, mail delivery relied on methods like dog sleds. Can you imagine how long it would have taken to get your mail before air service? 🤔

Check out some of our archival images about airmail, and stop by to view our Fokker collection (Universal and Super Universal!) which played pivotal roles in early Manitoban aviation. ✉️

📚 New year. New curriculum. We're ready to help. 🔬

With changes to Manitoba's science curriculum, our education team has worked hard to keep our own programming offers up to speed. Our programs are curriculum-aligned, making it easy to bring students beyond the classroom and into the experiences that connect directly with what they're learning.

Teachers! If you're planning your upcoming STEM field trips, consider us as a part of your school year! We've got your back. 🍎
