NEWEST ARRIVAL AT THE MUSEUM

EJECTION SEAT

 

We are the proud recipients of a CF-104 Starfighter ejection seat which was donated to the Museum by Colonel (Ret'd) Hugh Rose. Colonel Rose had a long and distinguished career as a fighter pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He flew the CF-104 Starfighter and F-86 Sabre operationally in Canada and in Europe. Visitors of all ages will have the opportunity to learn about a critical, life-saving, piece of equipment that saved many RCAF pilots' lives. 

Thank you to Arrow Transportation Systems Inc. for transporting this artifact to Calgary from BC. Bill Smith, Steve Grant, and Lisa McFadyen - thank you for helping bring this ejection seat to The Hangar.
