B	Bill Spanjer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An absolutely amazing museum with wonderful exhibits and photo/reader boards. Informative and well laid out displays provide historical detail. Highly recommended as a museum to visit!
H	H Banks on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very good ww2 air force museum. Original building, one of last still standing. Friendly staff. Artifacts and uniforms. You can walk around in hanger and see actually ww2 aircraft. Touch them. Sit in the cockpit, put ur head up in a gun turret. If you have little kids they can ride around in little airplane peddle cars in the hanger.
D	Devon Olafson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Little gem we discovered, great displays.
N	Nick Ethier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cool remnant of one of the crucial roles Canada played in the second world war. The building is mostly original, so you can marvel at just how much old growth timber was used back in the day. The plans collection is kind of small but nicely focused, and they do have lots of things for kids to do. If you go in winter, bundle up, as the hangar isn't heated.
K	Ken Yost on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A wonderful National Historic site with veterans of the Air Force excited to give tours. Built to train pilots for World War II it is the last known building of its type in use. Many old planes from the era are to be seen (and flown in if you call ahead for the right day).
G	Gordon Chamberlain on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little museum. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
J	Jonathan H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just off the Trans Canadian. Very interesting. I just didn't realize so many aircrew were trained in Canada during WWII. Well worth a quick stop.
R	Ren VanBeek on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a fun and cool place to visit! The Commonwealth Air Training museum was amazing! A 10/10 and I totally recommend it! Great fun for all ages, a lot of walking though so be prepared for that. If you want a run down of the planes of ww11 and MB contribution to the war effort then this is the place to go. You can see how planes are put together in the workshop, you get to see the different uniforms and Fliers and magazines and newspaper articles that have been saved from over the years that are encased or else copied and placed all over the museum, you get to see paintings done by local Manitoba artist that embody the planes of the second World War, and coolest of all you get to go through the hangar where they have the planes stored they even have one which you'll see in my video later that they have taken the skin off so it's just the skeleton and you can see what the planes look like when they're all put together. They also have the fire trucks from those days a lot of the Jeeps and and cars, the building itself is also cool. There's a memory Chapel that I didn't take any photos up out of respect, but it shows the names of all of the manitobans lost during the war, there's also a memory wall outside. The staff was very friendly there's even a gift store and I absolutely recommend checking it out.
