Changes in leadership at the Alberta Aviation Museum resulted in the Flying Heritage Museum no longer being pursued. Efforts were undertaken to improve the existing Alberta Aviation Museum on Kingsway. With a renewed lease from the City of Edmonton, the inside transformation of Hangar 14 began with exhibits being brought to life. |

The Boeing 737-200 in Pacific Western Airlines (PWA) livery remains at Villeneuve and is a ground attraction at the Edmonton Airshow. Please contact the Alberta Aviation Museum for use for filming or police or fire training operations. |
