Wings and Wheels Show and Shine
Father's Day June 16, 2013
10:00AM - 4:00PM
Spend Father’s Day together as a family at the Aero Space Museum of Calgary! Join us for family activities including: face painting, building a wooden aircraft, helicopter tours, and Hero Shots. Show your dad that he is your hero by giving him the gift of sitting in one of our aircraft and receiving a commemorative photograph of the occasion. There will be more than just wings at this show – local car clubs and individuals are bringing their restored and maintained vehicles for viewing at the Show and Shine as well. This show goes rain or shine and tickets can be bought online or at the door.
The Buy Tickets link will take you to information about each ticket type. Please email info@asmac.ab.ca if you have any questions about Wings and Wheels.

The First Aviation Museum in Calgary
"The Air Museum of Canada" was founded in 1960 but was largely a collection of privately owned aircraft. Disbanding in 1971, the museum's aircraft and assets were turned over to the City of Calgary and housed at the city's Planetarium for safekeeping and display. In 1975 the "Aero Space Museum Association of Calgary" was registered as a non-profit, charitable, organization and assumed the care and upkeep of these artifacts.
