A massive tin toy plane display that has spent more than 20 years spinning around Calgary's airport is in need of a new home.
In mid-June, the display is being decommissioned to make way for guest experience updates in the domestic terminal.
"The sculpture is going to be my property," de Boer said. "So what do you do with two giant wind up tin toys? They're not going to fit into my back alley."But the piece represents Alberta's aviation history -- not Michigan's. "We want it," Hangar Flight Museum Director Brian Desjardins said. "Just to be able to tell more about Calgary's story through these artifacts.For the next year or so, the facility is under construction.
Until then, there just isn't room for any additions. So Desjardins is now searching for a storage location to house the carousel until the new building. The museum is asking the province -- and a few airlines -- for help. It say the City of Calgary has invested in the expansion project, but it wants other levels of government or other donors to pitch in, too. De Boer is crossing his fingers. "I suspect the sculpture still has many years of play to go."
