Gimli Glider final fly-by

Post by another_try »

Here's a cool video clip of the Gimli Glider's pre-retirement fly-by in Montreal. Filmed in 2008. What a story...

Sad. Just plain sad.

Personally, I'd love to see this aircraft in a museum somewhere...either in Ottawa at the National Museum or Winnipeg at the WCAM.
