There was no obstacle more frustrating to early Canadian bush pilots than the cold weather.  Each night, the oil was drained and both the oil and the engine were preheated the following morning before re-installing the oil. This was a time-consuming, laborious and at times hazardous job.  It’s also an example of the genesis of invention, as pilots and air crews  put on their problem solving hats and got to work.  Join us for a tour of all things invented to combat the cold! Guided tours are free with general admission.
