The Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada is offering a new activity for parents looking to keep their kids busy this summer.<\/p>\n
The museum recently launched its new fleet of pedal planes, miniature replicas of actual antique planes at the museum, built for future pilots.<\/p>\n
“The kids love them,” said museum supervisor Rachel Morgan. “They play with them, they have a lot of fun. The parents are obviously excited.”<\/p>\n
The pedal planes were custom-built in Manitoba with help from a grant from the Carolyn Sifton Foundation. Morgan hopes it will inspire a new generation of aviators.<\/p>\n
“We’re giving the kids a little bit of an idea of what it might be like to be a pilot,” she said. “With a little bit of luck, some of them will actually think about having a career in aviation somewhere down the road, and then we will have succeeded.”<\/p>\n
Pedal plane rides are included with museum admission. Kids can take flight from 11 a.m. \u2013 4 p.m. daily until the end of the summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
