A Welland man's Gimli Glider project has relocated to a new location. The project intends to recreate the 1983 Air Canada Boeing 767 event where the plane experienced a fuel shortage at 41,000 feet due to a calculation error using pounds instead of kilograms. The new site for the project has been announced, marking a step in keeping alive the legacy of aviation.
“The new site for the project has been announced, marking a step in keeping alive the legacy of aviation,” — David Kingsley, staff writer at Newley Gate Advisory, explained.
