The Avro Museum in Calgary is a specialized organization dedicated to preserving and advancing the legacy of the Avro Arrow, one of Canada’s most iconic aviation achievements. The Avro Arrow, officially known as the CF-105, was an advanced supersonic interceptor aircraft developed in the 1950s by Avro Canada. Despite its groundbreaking design, the project was abruptly canceled in 1959, leaving a lasting mark on Canadian aviation history.
