I visited CYLW last week and visited Kelowna Flightcraft Centre for Excellence. This s a public viewing building located inside the airport boundary and accessabile using the internal public roadways. You do not need a security pass to visit and they ask you for a $ 5 ( dollar ) donation to help with running costs. The building comes with it's own car park that is free to use, whilst visiting the facility.
Outside the new building are the following,
C GKFA CONVAIR 580 / 52 CONAIR
N580HW CONVAIR 340 YUKON TRADING
The above are located either side of where visitors walk to gain entry.
Inside.
MW 376 TEMPEST
VR 796 MOSQUITO
C FGXW DC 3
104633 F104 ( painted in a grey / silver colour with N104 on the tail )
NC 80316 BEECH 17
There is also room in the facility for the 2 Convairs when winter comes and the snow and ice arrive.
They allow you as much time as you want and allow photographs. Also inside is a gradual spiral staircase or an elevator that leads to the upper floor, that has a viewing deck that allows you to see arrivals/ departures from CYLW.
I do have photographs. However, I am having difficulties getting them sent over as they keep coming back to me undelivered. If anyone has an idea how I can get them to the UK and have them posted, can you please let me know.
