The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre is launching an auction of a custom Ontario Provincial Air Service (OPAS) inspired electric guitar made by Kevin McAuley. Earlier this year, Kevin gifted this custom piece to the Bushplane Museum to be auctioned off as part of our summer fundraiser.
Founder of Goulais River Guitars, Kevin creates unique musical instruments. With a lifelong passion for both music and aviation, Kevin first began his career as an Aircraft Mechanic in the early 1970s in the same hangar that now serves as the CBHC’s home.
This guitar is modelled after the famous Flying V guitar built by the Gibson Guitar Company. It was created using aircraft sheet metal and incorporating details used in the painting of the aircraft used by the OPAS. It is currently on display in the front lobby of the museum. If you are considering participating in the auction, here are the details:
To see the guitar in action and hear it played for the first time, buy a ticket to our Cory Marks concert. Country Rock singer Cory Marks will be playing it during his headliner concert on June 11th. Tickets are available now at bushplane.com/corymarks. Get yours before they are sold out!
All proceeds from the silent auction and Cory Marks concert support the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre’s Future Impact Project, which includes replacement of roofing material and other essential facility upgrades that ensure the long-term sustainability of the museum.

Cory Marks is landing at the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre and we’re turning the hangar into a full-blown concert venue. For the first time ever! So come make some history with us!
If you like your country loud and your rock unapologetic, this is your night.
Cory’s 2019 HIT single “Outlaws & Outsiders” featuring country music icon Travis Tritt, Mick Mars & Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch made history as the first Canadian Country Act to have a TOP 10 US Rock Radio single, landing #3 in Germany and has since gone PLATINUM here in Canada and GOLD in the US. Since the release of his debut album “Who I Am” Cory has amassed over 415 million global streams and another TOP 20 hit single in 2024 with “Make My Country Rock” which featured again, Tritt, Mars and Sully Erna of Godsmack!
Cory has toured across Canada and the USA several times and last year made his debut in Europe (Germany, France, Netherlands) and the UK (London, Scotland) headlining shows on his own and playing the C2C Country Music Festival. He has toured with ZZ Top, Five Finger Death Punch, Toby Keith, Travis Tritt and Aaron Pritchett, Theory of a Deadman and Brantley Gilbert and he doesn’t show up quietly. Cory has been a fan of music and aviation since he was a kid and is also a private pilot who has logged an hour flying with our own Canadian Forces Snowbirds in 2017.
