100 years of powered flight in Canada...
Vintage Wings of Canada is celebrating the Centennial of Powered Flight in
Canada, and for that matter in the whole British Commonwealth, with the
acquisition of a Canadair Sabre Mk 5 (23314). This aircraft has been
painted in Golden Hawks colours and, as a memorial to the pilots and crews
flying in the 1950's and 60's, will take part in flight demonstrations
across Canada in 2009 beginning with a flypast at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, on
Feb 23, 2009 where James McCurdy made the first powered flight in the
Silver Dart in 1909.
Flight Ontario would like to thank
Vintage Wings of Canada for their leadership in commemorating,
educating and inspiring all Canadians this year.
A "Hawk One" paint of the AlphaSim and Section8 Sabre is available on
AVSIM for both FS9 and FSX.
