Celebrating Aviation in Calgary
Just days apart this spring in Calgary, two major events recognizing history and achievement in aviation will be held in Calgary.
CAHS Annual Convention
From May 30 to June 3, the annual convention of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society will be held at the Sheraton Cavalier Hotel. Organized by convention chairman from the Calgary CAHS chapter, Bert Furlong, the program offers a wide spectrum of informative sessions about aviation in Canada. Side trips to complement the presentations include visits to aviation museums and industrial operations.
Your attendance at the convention is your best opportunity each year to meet up and catch up with fellow CAHS members and aviation enthusiasts from across the country. See you there!

Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame
If you are coming to Calgary for the CAHS convention, consider a stay in Alberta to enjoy the sights and scenery and attend the annual induction dinner and ceremonies for Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame.
The 45th annual celebration will be held on June 7 at the Sunwest Aviation Hangar at the Calgary International Airport. Four new Members of the Hall will be honoured in a colourful event that will include some uniquely Calgarian hospitality. Those honoured are aviation pioneer, Mr. John Bogie; former Chief of the Defence Staff, Gen (Ret`d) Paul Manson; test pilot and entrepreneur, Dr. John Maris; and Dr. Greg Powell, a co-founder of the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service.
