I have a question: I have a friend who loves planes and he is so psyched about those fighter planes and stuff like that.. I wanted to do something nice and take him to a museum or something cool in that type.
Is there any museums in ontario that has cool aircrafts/fighter planes/cool planes that would let you go in take pics and get tours or something?
Any suggestions? I only ask this cause I just moved here about 7 months now and I dont really know canada that well... so I am open to any suggestions.

Groton— One of Canada's four Victoria class submarines, the HMCS Corner Brook, is currently visiting the Naval Submarine Base in Groton.
The Corner Brook arrived at the base on Monday to participate in an exercise later this month with the USS Memphis (SSN 691). Lt. Cmdr. Alex Kooiman, the commanding officer of the Corner Brook, said the Memphis will fire dummy torpedoes and his submarine will evade them.
The port call provides an opportunity for both the U.S. and Canadian navies to continue to improve their ability to work together
It's raining today here in Halifax. As I was coming into the Dkyd this morning I observed the Cpl at the gate was wearing the new CADPAT Gortex Raingear. It made me think about all the fuss with uniforms here, insignia and badges there. Here as a Sailor I am stuck with lousy raingear (canary suit) and even lousier long johns (white, waffle pattern crap) when compaired against the CADPAT kids clothes. I, would love to see suitable Gortex rain gear above all and decent long johns for starters. That's something that is broken and should be fixed. Let the Officers have the Curl, but save the rest of the money being spend on crap like SSI and the like and use it towards some usefull gear.
Seeing as 'we' were reminded several times that this topic seemed to have hijacked another one, I thought I would start it's own. For those on the DIN, latest 'changes' to SSI requirements: http://marcom-comar.mil.ca/ssi-ism/default-eng.asp
