Aircraft Restoration
The Air Force Museum Society of Alberta (AFMSA) has been actively involved in the sourcing and restoration of historic aircraft. Forever in search of ways to bring even greater exposure to the aircraft that the RCAF flew during the Cold War era, we have broadened our story with the restoration projects for newly acquired CT-133 Silver Star, CF-100 Canuck, and CF-101 Voodoo—as well as related NATO and NORAD defense artifacts. Expert technicians, working as volunteers, are contributing thousands of hours to these efforts.
Each project is unique, but all involve meticulous study of photographs, diagrams, plans, and other historical documents and scouring the country to source required parts to ensure historically accurate restoration. In some cases it will take year to complete – requiring thousands of hours and much need donations to be able to preserve our aviation history for future generations.
