Volunteers in the Niagara region built a replica of Canada’s first airplane, the Silver Dart. The replica's maiden flight (shown above) was on February 22, 2009 in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, the location of the original plane's inaugural flight in 1909.

Sponsors

The AEA 2005 Silver Dart Project could quite simply not have gotten as far as it has without the very generous financial and material support of our sponsors, contributors and suppliers who have helped us with special discounted prices for materials, skills and suppliers.

In launching our web site, we list the corporate sponsors initially, and over a relatively brief period of time, we shall be adding the names of other contributors – individuals and companies, associations, colleges, etc – from whom we have received great support and contributions in time, goods, services and talents.
