aviation history in the Northwest TErritories
The Northwest Territories has been synonymous with aviation dating back to the first use of aircraft in 1921 in the search for oil. Since then, aviation has permeated throughout every aspect of northern living. Aviation opened the north, making travel and transportation easier, faster and safer, just as it does today. The Northwest Territories Flying Association (NWTFA) is committed to preserving and promoting the rich aviation history of the Northwest Territories.
