Air Defence Museum

At the Bagotville Air Defence Museum in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, military aviation is shaped by exceptional heroes and their extraordinary adventures. The "Masters of the Sky" exhibition recounts the glory and misfortunes of Canadian aviators, while the aircraft park brings iconic planes to life through an interactive augmented reality experience. A visit to the Bagotville base offers a glimpse into the daily life of military personnel and an opportunity to see fighter jets and helicopters in action. For a more immersive experience, virtual reality simulators put visitors in the pilot’s seat of a CF-18 to carry out aerial combat missions. The temporary exhibition "Wings and Men" highlights Canadian aviators who have written glorious pages in aviation history, while "The Legacy of the Brave" pays tribute to Bagotville servicemen who have left their mark on history. Lastly, "A Village with Feet of Clay" recounts CFB Bagotville’s heroic response to the Saint-Jean-Vianney landslide. Discover a rich heritage of exploits and innovations!
