Development

The museum was officially announced by the Alberta Aviation Museum on 16 November 2013,[1] days before the closure of the City Centre Airport. In the years following, plans were not pursued, and the website was no longer available in 2015.[2]

As part of the museum, the Alberta Aviation Museum's Boeing 737-200, ident C-GIPW, in Pacific Western Airlines (PWA) livery (Fleet #745) was restored to operational capability and, on 29 November 2013, was flown to Villeneuve on a Schedule A Special Flight Permit issued by Transport Canada.[3][4][5][6][7] The Boeing 737-200 remains at Villeneuve and is a ground attraction during the Alberta International Airshow.
