The private open-air museum once featured about 40 old planes, or what s left of them. Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Fraser and his brother were hoping to have enough parts to one day rebuild a machine that they would be able to take up to the skies again. That never happened, but the collection they gathered on the property in the Oxbow area preserves local history. Most of these planes were sold out of the old Estevan airport. Some also came from Weyburn and a few pieces they acquired from out of the province. After the war, many local farmers bought written-off aircraft to utilize in their operations.
