This memorial, which consists of a Harvard trainer aircraft and a cairn, was originally dedicated by the city of Red Deer and Royal Canadian Air Force Station Penhold in honour of those who flew the Harvard over central Alberta between 1952 and 1965. The memorial was rededicated in 1984 upon the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
