This Silver Dart is an airworthy replica built by RCAF volunteers on the fiftieth anniversary of the original Silver Dart first powered flight on Canadian soil took which place on 23 February 1909. This aircraft was built in 1958 at No. 6 Repair Depot, RCAF at Trenton and was shipped to Baddeck on February 5, 1959. Wing Commander Paul A. Hartman flew this Silver Dart at Baddeck on the anniversary, but high, gusty winds caused it to crash (the pilot, fortunately, was unhurt). The aircraft was repaired and placed on display on the museum's opening day, October 25, 1960.

The flying replica of the airplane on which first powered flight on Canadian soil took place on 23 February 1909. This flying replica was built by two aviation enthusiasts, Ed Lubitz and Mark Taylor, to commemorate the centennial of that event. In October 2008 they began building their own Silver Dart replica, which was finished in March 2009. It was given the serial number Mach 0.046, a callback to the speed of the original Silver Dart (Mach 0.046, or 35 miles per hour). It was flown by Ed Lubitz four times prior to its donation to the National Air Force Museum of Canada.
