The Museum’s collection focuses on North Atlantic aviation history as it pertains to Gander and Gander International Airport, from the 1930’s through to present day, focusing on the WWII years through the early jet age. Highlights of our collection: We have several WWII aircraft engines, a restored WWII DeHavilland Tiger Moth bi-plane, a WWII Lockheed Hudson MkIIIA mid-range bomber (which we are told is one of only 8 left in the world, and is the only one in North America), a 1950’s CF101 Voodoo jet, a 1930’s Beech 18-S, and a 1940’s Canso PBY-5A waterbomber. Of special interest, above the main entry we have positioned the tail section of a DC-3 (1930’s model). We also host numerous items relating to 9/11 and the events of what happened here in Gander. We also offer Beyond Words Tours, a 9/11 experience here in Gander which highlights our town and key aspects of our 9/11 story! Join us as we take you on an unforgettable journey showcasing the inside scoop of what’s happened!

I really enjoyed my visit to the Aviation Museum. I came here initially to pick up the Beyond Words Tour. After the tour I spent about an hour looking around the museum. It’s a great place for aviation buffs and also people interested in the history of 9/11.

Reviewed By thefrasers2019
The Town of Gander and the local Rotary Club combined a few years back to finish the park. The job done is nothing short of amazing. The walking paths throughout the park are well done, along with the facilities. One can sit and watch the ducks and ducklings swim in the pond, walk the walking train through the forest. At night there is ample lighting from the light standards throughout the park itself (none of the trail arouind the pond). One visit usually is not enough.

This is such a beautiful Memorial. The detail in the statue is incredible and so beautiful. This was such a horrible tragedy so it's very heavy to visit the site, but there are beautiful spots throughout the area with information on what happened along with a list of those who died so horribly that day.
