The Jet Aircraft Museum (JAM) will acquire, preserve, maintain, display and fly jet aircraft of the Canadian Forces from the DeHavilland Vampire to present day and future aircraft.[3]
The museum has indicated its intention "JAM will strive to maintain four or more of each type as flying aircraft with a flight of four reflecting authentic Canadian Forces paint schemes."[3] The museum has listed the CF-100 Canuck, Canadair Sabre, F2H-3 Banshee, CF-101 Voodoo, CF-104 Starfighter, CF-5 Freedom Fighter and CT-114 Tutor as being targets for intended acquisition.[4]
