Thought I'd combine an "On this Day" with a museum list.
Back in 1998, I had a 24 hour stay in Calgary.
I was working for BA Market Research - just giving out questionnaires to passengers. Because of their alliance with Canadian Airlines, I was able to do a couple of trips with them too.
Fly out, handing out and collecting questionnaires on the outbound and inbound flights- 24 hour stay!
Arriving late, I went straight to the hotel, but the next day was spent walking round the airport- it was deep in snow and -22 degrees! It was so cold my pen stopped working!
The museum came as a relief, as I was able to go inside! I won't bother with the 100 or so I made at Calgary airport itself, but below is what was seen at the museum.
Aero Space Museum of Calgary (now called The Hangar Flight Museum)
CF-AZM Waco EQC.6 Custom
CF-BLV Barkley-Grow T.8P-1
CF-BQMBarkley-Grow T.8P-1
CF-BZI Douglas C.47A Skytrain

CF-JTI Sikorsky S.55B
CF-REI Cherokee Sailplanes Cherokee II
C-GRNI Q.A.C Quickie II
C-GVUS Mitchell U.2 Flying Wing
C-GXQM Cessna 188 Agwagon
7401 Avro 652A Anson II

Time to go back - they have a few more exhibits now....
cheers
