The Jet Aircraft Museum is a charitable foundation aviation museum specializing in Canadian Forces jet aircraft. The museum is located at the London International Airport, Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3]
The museum officially opened on 12 September 2009.[1]
The museum states its mission as:
the acquisition, display, preservation, maintenance and, most importantly, providing in flight demonstrations for the people of Canada now and for generations to come. The JAM mission is to combine the creation and operation of museum housing: aircraft, historical artifacts, records, and salient memorabilia, while simultaneously keeping representative historic aircraft in the air whenever and wherever major aviation events are held across Canada and at appropriate international centres.[2]
The museum has indicated its intention "is to have one or more flyable versions of major jet aircraft used by Canada’s armed forces since we entered the military jet age"[2]. The museum has listed the de Havilland Vampire and CT-114 Tutor as being targets for intended acquisition.[2]
The aircraft owned by the museum are:[2]
