Located in the heart of Sault Ste. Marie Ontario, The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre is dedicated to preserving the history of Bush Flying in Canada. The centre is actively aquiring, restoring, and preserving a growing collection of floatplanes, bushplanes, waterbombers and other aviation related artifacts. In addition to bushplanes, the centre also showcases forest fire fighting equipment.

Currently, the collection includes such magnificant aircraft as:

  • Canadair CL-215
  • de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver

  • Grumman CS2F Tracker
  • Noorduyn Norseman
  • Republic RC-3 SeaBee
  • Saunders ST-27
  • Stinson SR-9 Reliant

Experience the exhilaration of take off in a vintage Beaver bush plane, the freedom of flight, the history of fighting fires from the sky, and the unexpected drama of setting "her" down. Using the Object Theatre format that Science North, Sudbury, pioneered, Wings Over the North at the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre in Sault Ste. Marie is an 'uplifting' experience like no other!
