The Fleet Model 80 Canuck is a Canadian designed high-wing light aircraft featuring two seats in a side-by-side configuration.
The aircraft was designed by Omer (Bob) Noury, an aeronautical engineer from Trois-Rivières, Quebec, who had previously designed the Noury N-75 before selling its design to the Fleet Aircraft Company in Stoney Creek, Ontario.
The first flight occurred in 1944 and the aircraft became popular as a trainer, for personal use and for light commercial use. A total of 225 Canucks were built, mostly between 1945 and 1947 by the Fleet Aircraft Company.
The museum’s example is an original Canuck restored by the museum’s volunteers.
