~ text from the plaque ~
This plaque commemorates the erection of this monument in gratitude to the founders of the original Stevenson Airport in St.James in 1927, and those intrepid thousands of air-service men and women of Canada and Allied countries who trained in St.James during World War II. Together with the thousands of of civilian and military service men and women who have manned the Winnipeg International Airport and Air Training Command through the succeeding years.
This T-33 jet trainer was unveiled as a centennial project of the people of St.James and Canadian Armed Services Base, this 18th day of August, 1967 in Canada's Centennial year.
