Anyone can climb into the cockpit of a handful of iconic Canadian aircraft at the BC Aviation Museum this weekend.

The North Saanich site offers by-donation admission, and a chance to climb into a Lockheed CT-133, Grumman Tracker, Convair 580, Sikorsky S-55 helicopter and VIH Kamov helicopter with Open Cockpit Day.

Billed as an amazing opportunity for kids and parents alike to get up close to the past, the invite affords unlimited photo opportunities.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and sit in a cockpit with admission by donation.

sa国际传媒淗opefully we can welcome even more folks by removing the barrier of admission,sa国际传媒� Cairns said.

Organizers recommend folks dress warm as two of the aircraft are outdoors.

Supervised by volunteers, the cockpits are open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 18 at the BC Aviation Museum, 1910 Norsman Rd.
