C elebrating
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.
