“Sic Itur” Walkway
The “Sic Itur” name comes from the Latin motto, “Sic Itur Ad Astra” which means, “Such is the way to the Stars”.
This motto is laid in stone and passes beneath your feet as you make your way from the main entrance of the Aviation Museum, through the Memorial Garden, towards the Aviation Memorial. This Memorial, to all Aviation men, women and organizations, is situated on the site of the Alberta Aviation Museum on Kingsway in Edmonton. The names of honourees are permanently inscribed on inlaid granite stones at the Aviation Memorial site.
Each side of the Memorial represents one of the three air services that operated at the Blatchford Field Airport, namely (A) Air Forces (Military), (B) Bush Pilots, Pioneers and Experimenters and (C) Commercial Air Industry. The Aviation Memorial stones are in an area representing a propeller. On the top of the monument is a cone depicting the nose of the propeller. Three flagpoles are installed opposite each point of the “propeller”.
