World War II Aircraft to be Mounted
There are plans this summer to mount two aircraft used during World War II at the Red Deer Regional Airport. A Harvard, believed to have been one of the last aircraft to fly out when the NATO military base closed in 1965, will be mounted in front of the terminal. Harvards were used for training pilots at RCAF Penhold for many years. In addition, an A-26 attack bomber will also be on display.
