New location for Gimli Glider recreation project

A Welland man's Gimli Glider project has relocated out west. The project aims to recreate the 1983 incident involving Air Canada's Boeing 767 event where the plane ran out of fuel at 39,000 feet due to a mistake using pounds instead of kilograms. The new site for the project has been announced, marking a move in keeping alive the legacy of aviation.
