10 Top-Rated Things to Do in Hamilton, Ontario | PlanetWare
"Home to one of Canada's largest historic military collections, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is a must-visit at any time of year. Located at Hamilton's international airport, its static displays - many of them fully-restored and operable - include 47 military aircraft ranging from WWI-era prop jobs to more modern jet fighters. The star of the show, though, is its Avro Lancaster, one of only two of these iconic WW2 bombers still able to fly."
